“Who will take care of you when I’m gone?”

Following up on why people ask why I’m not married another question also I get when asked is who will take care of you when I’m gone. My mother is one (currently I live with my mom) but also others as well. I guess to be honest… I have no idea. I can’t take care of myself to save my life.
But I guess people do point out the harshness but living single not having a partner to help you out.
Dealing with things alone. I guess I’m not expecting much I guess that is a hard one to answer with a comeback.

Well this is probably off topic but I’d rather be a spinster than a mistress. But that’s me.

What’s with people asking how come you’re not married at 30+

I mean I don’t mind being single and I’m not looking for validation but I just wonder why people would ask that? I mean sometimes I feel a bit insecure as most wouldn’t see you as complete or a respectable person.

Well my answer was simple I didn’t find the right person yet.

But it’s more personal I have my insecurities and I’m surviving and taking little at a time. And even dating seems like a lot of work. I also seem to have doubts of how relationships are becoming nowadays or if they always been this way. And it’s not the idealist fairy tale you once thought it was.

I think I have a polish addiction

I changed my manicure like five this week and last week. Also I was experimenting on how to make my peely base last some were okay other not so much.

I didn’t do the peely base this time and went in with a regular base coat which I’m running low of.

Oh yeah and the color I’m using is BKL - Don’t Fear the Dark. 🌌

It’s hopeless

Im overworked and burnt and stressed out my body just feels numb and I’m just frozen and anxiety and I know I have one more week before vacation. No one talks to me and some might want to take my job even though I’m not sure how I feel about this job that I’m the one that people depend on that I’m supposed to find that as a good thing? I mean I want to try to appreciate the job I have but I feel this is taking a toll on my mental health. And I don’t think people realize it but if I quit now I don’t know if I’ll find a better job where it feels fulfilling but at the same time I don’t know how I can go on still for another week.

Not one flowering bud but two

So how long does the Venus fly trap flower and bloom? And do I need to cut it off when it’s a stalk to propagate it or let it grow into a flower and harvest the seeds? I mean I’m still trying to navigate taking care of a Venus fly trap. But it’s pretty cool.

I feed it a fly since I saw an open mouth.

Flowering bud on my VFT?

Could this be a flowering bud on my Venus fly trap? Or maybe it might be new leaves growing. Sometimes I wonder how I’m taking care of this thing but it’s been an interesting journey so far I also had a massive fly problem in my house so I managed to feed it flies.

A Terrible Price

Bee’s Knees Lacquer - A Terrible Price

I just got it in the mail today. So long story I was trying to search for a dupe for Sinful colors, Daisy the Pig and was recommended this shade. I did see it was out of stock before but when I searched it again it was in stock but only 40 left. So I was tempted and bought one.

The other one I thought to get was Zoya, Selene and at the time I didn’t know which one to get.

Welp it’s still a beautiful teal great nonetheless it’s kind of bright with a blue to olive green shift to it.

So is this a good dupe for a Daisy the pig or what other shades do you recommend?

Venus fly traps are endangered?

Was stumbling across this video only to find out they’re endangered me feel a bit guilty owning one. Since I bought mine at a grocery store which they don’t sell anymore.

I know they’re native to North Carolina but I didn’t think they’re a endangered species 🥺

Just feeling bored and nothing gives me joy anymore

Just like the title says. I’m currently on my bed with nothing to do. And I don’t even feel I want to do anything not even wanting to do my hobbies like painting nails or playing Stardew valley. I’m not even into pottery like I once was before. I just wake up go home and lay in bed on my phone. Is there any hope in life at this age(35)? I’m just mentally exhausted and haven’t taken my vacation yet nor a day off. I can’t even find an excuse to. It’s like nothing matters to me anymore. I even have to censor my posts or else it’s going to be taken down. I’m so fed up right now.

First Venus fly trap

I bought it at lidl on Sunday. We’ll see how I do. But I’m open for suggestions. Since this is me being a first time carnivorous plant mom.

It’s fascinating how carnivorous plants have a whole different set of rules compared to regular plants.

Friendship is a myth

I’m (35) not saying my gender because I don’t want to. Just like the title says friendship is a myth where most friendships are one sided and no one cares about me. Sometimes I just feel a sadness that I can’t open to anyone anymore and nothing works and I’m just on my phone all the time. I don’t know if things will get better and I know I’m not the most social person and I can’t socialize to save my life like I used to and sometimes I don’t know how I feel when people are super friendly I feel like they have an agenda and will pressure into to things you don’t want to do. I guess I’ve always been like this where I can’t open up to anyone like I used to. I always felt alone all my life like I have no one to relate to. And I can’t even think positive like I used to. I don’t even date or look for friendships anymore. There’s no hope anymore.

Can we all agree Lindsay Lohan’s nails were iconic in the 2010s

And I don’t mean the obscenity on the manicure

Eggplant Parmesan

I did make it but not from the book but it inspired me to try to make Parmesan I have a fear of deep frying things in the pan. Did you always follow the recipe from the book or do you modify it more to your liking? And how much do you modify it?

Frog Nails 🐸

I’ve seen the algae reflection pool nails going around and I was somewhat inspired for this 4th of July. So I painted frog nails which I had on my mind for a while.

Polishes:
Pop arazzi: Mint for more, retro remix
Sally Hansen Insta Dri: Black on Black
Sally Hansen xtreme wear: white on
Olive and June: Jam Please
MC speed demon top coat
OPI natural nail base coat

Yes I’m aware there’s a bit of a smudge when I applied the top coat I’m not happy about it but I’ll live.
