"A Treasury of Wit and Wisdom" from Reader's Digest | Book Review


In our day and age, more and more people shy away from reading. But in order to have wit and wisdom, that which are necessary for life, we can not solely rely upon videos and sound, we must train ourselves to read.  Of course, for it to be worthwhile, it has to be a meaningful book.  I totally recommend a quotation book.  Easy, short quotes are memorable... they make an impression.  Here's an example...

"Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes,
Art is knowing which ones to keep."
~ Scott Adams

"When inspiration does not come to me, I go halfway to meet it."
~ Sigmund Freud

"Creativity comes from trust.
Trust your instincts.  And never hope for more than you work."
~ Rita Mae Brown


"A woman is like a tea-bag.  
You never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water."
                                                                                                          ~ Eleanor Roosevelt

KLUTZ Nail Style Studio | Nail Art Book Review


Late night but a friend needed a few things from the grocery store so hubby and I took her to the supermarket. While there, I decided to pick up a few necessities, myself.  On the way to the toiletries section, I passed by a clearance display with some books and gift ideas.  At the very bottom if the self was a book that seemed to have some polishes in it.  I knelt down to inspect and I was right! A nailart gift set for Tweens! Originally priced at $26.99, I came away with it for $16.99+tax.
