This week’s “Pokémon Summer” mani is inspired by my favorite Eeveelution, Jolteon. I used Holo Taco “Lemon Sucker” and “Sugar Rush” for Jolteon’s colors and did my best to add a few fun lightning bolts to reflect his electric personality.
We’re having something of a “Pokémon Summer,” and I thought it would be fun to do a series of manis inspired by my favorite Pokémon, Eevee, and all of her Eeveelutions. To start I did a mani in shades of Eevee’s brown, using Holo Taco “Holo Cappuccino” with an accent nail of “Oat Couture.”
Today is my 46th birthday!
I started the day by receiving a truly amazing gift from my family…I can’t wait to find the perfect place on the wall to hang it!
I decided that taking a “Hit the Bricks” tour on historic Main Street in St. Charles, MO, would be the perfect way to spend the day, because I would get to see something beautiful and interesting AND learn something, and I wasn’t disappointed!
I finally got to try the lavender Frappuccino using my Starbucks birthday reward…it was just as delicious as I imagined!
We had my favorite dinner, Reuben casserole, and since we also have Starbucks at home, I made a lavender matcha to go with it:
And Bunny made me an amazing tiramisu for my birthday dessert…I’ve come a long way since the years I used to make myself a tiramisu layer cake for my birthday!
It was unbelievably delicious!!!
Roald didn’t come to my birthday party this year, which was the cause of great sadness, but I set up a photo shoot so we could still get a birthday picture together…it’s tradition!
I also got to watch a few of my favorite movies today (one of them might have been a Christmas movie, and another might have starred Donald Duck), and generally feel very special…it was a great day!
When we went to the Missouri History Museum for our last field trip of the school year, Chickadee was very excited to see that they were offering face painting (for free!) because that’s not something she’s ever gotten to do. She was even more excited when she discovered that one of the options was a Poké Ball, plus GLITTER!
