Polish colours appear in the order of most units sold in 2020 through all 3 countries combined ... I am embarrassed to say that despite being new that I already have all but the 3 I underlined ... one of the many perk of hosting a party and earning a 50% off coupon you can use it on the Build Your Own Collection and choose 11 polishes for more than 50% off because the kit already gives you a free one!

DoTerra inspired Hangover Survival Kit
Who has plans to send 2020 out with the BANG it deserves? I am so ready to close the door on this past year and am hopeful that 2021 will bring growth and prosperity back to the forefront as we round the curve on the pandemic now that vaccines are rolling out and treatment options for Covid are increasing!
This DoTerra Hangover kit is a great little gift to yourself or pin it for next year when we can hopefully have guests as it makes a cute little gift idea for party guests who stay the night to avoid drinking and driving!

We have a group where we challenge each other to do nail designs or techniques every other Friday night! One person volunteer to do the tutorial video live while we watch/play along!

Keeping Your Glass top clean
Ok I cannot be the only one who has members of the household who do not wipe the glass top down before turning it on? Or they attempt to wipe it down but do not use a clean cloth so end up leaving it like this with nasty watermarks baked into it?
Thank goodness for Enjo and the smallest of elbow grease! The awesomeness of Enjo is that the fibres do most of the work so you just need to provide the motion for them cause they have yet to develop a self cleaning Enjo fibre - but one can hope! Wet your Kitchen scrub with water, scoop out some marble paste because this is baked on mess so a little helper is needed, and than spray the surface with extra water and than swirl around the paste adding more as needed! Water is the magic ingredient here if you feel somethings stuck add more spritzs of water!When you are confident all the mess is loose and ready to be wiped up switch over to the green fibre side and wash off all the marble paste with cool water - rinse as needed until stove top is clear. Dry behind with your kitchen Enjofil and whola!
It works amazing! Shiny mess free glass top again!
Happy cleaning! If you need an Enjo representative please contact Lynn she is amazingly knowledgeable!

Watercolour background fun!
Loving this Artisan Design Team Tip from fellow demo Zsuanna!
For this stunning background you need / large acrylic block, a piece of clear window sheet, stampin ' blends (dark, 2-3 colors) and rubbing alcohol.
Just stunning works of art ... mixed media is always my favourite! I love the messy fun it’s so therapeutic!
You can order supplies to create this technique on my website
