Things that are wrong with my nails at the moment

* The polish is receding. I haven't quite worked out why you end up with a thin, white line around the rim of you nail yet. Is is because your nail has grown or because the polish has worn off? Nail technicians I am all ears.

* The strawberry scented polish on alternate nails has lost its scent.

* The middle finger on my left hand has lines on it because I slept on it when it was still wet.

* My right thumb has three or four bubbles in the polish.

Boohoo for me. ;)

Things which destroy my Principles


* Leather and suede jackets - I own 3 suede one and one leather

* McDonalds

* Nestle - Apparently they persuaded women in Africa to feed their children Nestle powdered milk instead of breast milk and this took away lots of the nutrients the children needed to live

* Bath and Body Works - I've been told they test on animals but that was after I bought things from them

* I have a bracelett made from reindeer hide that I bought in Canada
