Religion in the books

I watched the whole series, a few times over, and currently reading book 5, The Fiery Cross. Marking the post as Spoilers All.

Firstly, I’m not a religious person, and I understand the book is named “The Fiery Cross” so probably my expectations were unreasonable, however I’m am getting overwhelmed with how much religion and god is talked about within this book, compared to the first 4 books.

I was alright with the level of it before, as it’s realistic for the time period but at this point it’s making me not want to continue reading anymore. I also feel really weird about going back and forth from really deep and serious religious/godly/Biblical discussions or events like the secret baptisms and all the godly talk with so many babies around to 5 mins later Jamie grabbing Claire’s ass or some other couple getting aroused/doing the deed etc. it’s giving me whiplash!

Since I first watched the show prior to reading the books, I’m really taken aback bc while religion was a part of the show, it wasn’t like every other sentence was related to god or to some random Biblical reference. Does it continue like this for the rest of the books? I’m aware Gabaldon is very religious, so I’m afraid this will be the case :(

Nail polish & other manicure items (almost all) absolute pans!

These are all from the past 12 months! I’d been hoarding a lot of nail-related products, while I haven’t panned a single coloured nail polish😅, I’ve panned tons of related items😊

4 Baroness X acetone additives
- Really love these acetone additives, they smell divine, help mask the smell of acetone and truly help with combating acetone’s skin drying/whitening issues without impacting its performance.

1 Polished for Days Dew Drops nail oil
- Loved this oil, I know it’s controversial but I really like the doe foot applicator too. Already re-purchased it in multiple smells.

1 Mooncat Nail Elixir nail oil
- Really disliked this one🥲 Didn’t absorb well at all, kinda just sat on top of my skin. Glad to be over with it!

1 Holo Taco nail polish thinner
- It was fine, my first thinner. There are way cheaper alternatives.

1 OPI nail polish thinner
- Same, fine thinner. KBShimmer’s is the cheapest but not always available in Europe.

2 Hula Moon top coats
- These were gwp from my Hella Handmade Creations (HHC) orders. Ok top coats.

2 Vibrant Scents top coats
- My favourite brand of scented top coats and go-to for most manis (besides magnetics, solar/thermals and glow in the darks)

1 Cuticula top coat
- Solid top coat, good for all manis I can’t use my Vibrant Scents for.

1 Dam glitter grabber
- It was ok, but not my favourite glitter grabber.

1 KBShimmer base coat (this is the only “almost pan” but at this point it’s impossible to get it out, I tried!)
- My favourite base coat ever!

1 Colores de Carol base coat
- Great base coat for a non-blurring option.

Neon Season💛💚☀️

It’s officially neon season!💫 After reflective glitters, neons shimmers are my favourite to wear, however, not my favourite formulas by any means. I’d argue they’re much harder to apply than reflectives😭 This one drank an insane amount of thinner, and in the end was worth it but it was really hard to get it even without being patchy! QDTC was a lifesaver for levelling this polish.

Blue Light

Hope this is allowed - happy to delete if not.

Here’s the blue light healing that happens right after Claire goes limp on Jamie, and before it cuts to Jamie’s ghost. They decided to show it for literally 2 seconds so it’s very easy to miss when watching, I know I missed it at the first watch. Missing it caused me some doubt about whether they lived or died, but seeing it made it much clearer that yes, Claire used the blue light healing and they’re both alive when they gasp for breath at the end screen. Maybe this helps someone else who’s also unsure or missed this scene!

Bad B*tch💖

When I saw this polish in last month’s PPU, it immediately caught my attention - my magpie brain can’t stay away from reflective glitters😅 but I was unsure bc I recently destashed Holo Taco’s Private Villa, and thought it might be too close to it. Glad I took the chance bc oh my goodness - it’s gorgeous!! It’s more pink-magenta leaning rather than red like Private Villa. Sparkles insane in sunlight, but also twinkles super pretty in lower lighting.
