Chocolate Indulgence

My name is Delialicious, and I’m a chocoholic. I’m not ashamed to admit it.

Heck, I’m eating chocolate right now as I write this blog post. There are many people … Continue reading Chocolate Indulgence

She takes a small washcloth, dips it into the butter in circular motions, and briskly applies it to her skin.

Sephora by OPI Cherry Blossom Nail Design

This post was actually a family affair. My sister re-created the OPI Cherry Blossom Nail Design originally curated by nail-artist Sophy Robson, and my mom was our hand model. Sephora recommends that you use the color Havana Dreams for this look, but we tried Natural Environ-Mint ($9.50), which is a very similar pale-blue color, and it worked perfectly! Havana Dreams is just slightly darker and is … Continue reading Sephora by OPI Cherry Blossom Nail Design
