New Hair Tool and Nail “Art”

Amy, Amy, Amy…

Yesterday the world lost one of my favorite singers, Amy Winehouse. I listen to her music every day, no exaggeration. I won’t even lie and say I didn’t cry a little bit at the initial shock. Where is my ip . I was devastated, much like I was when...

Happy birthday to me!
