Good News

Smokey came home. Nick was planning a stake out of our deck and was putting out some food when he heard a faint meow...

She was missing for 36 hours. She was starving and ate a whole packet of food and a plate of biscuits. Thank you everyone who sent thoughts and prayers her way. I'm so relieved she found her way back.

I'm currently editing pictures...so stay tuned for pretty colours tomorrow.

Pink Wednesday...

Yup, it's Thursday here...but I'm posting my Pink Wednesday nails...

I had good intentions to post last night.I won't make up excuses but my cheeks turned into bright red triangles and I started running a temp....so I went to bed and slept instead. I still feel so run down from this winter. Good thing it's Spring now! Stay tuned for my Spring mani tomorrow :)

Smokey was hilarious when I went to bed. She wont come near me during sunlight hours, but as soon as the sun sets she wants attention. So she climbed on to my pillow and would not budge. It's just getting dark now so she's just started meowing for attention and crept out of her room. I guess it's good she's warming up to us, it is only day 3...but could she warm up to us during the day not when I'm trying to sleep!

Smokey in a playful mood

Anyway on to the nails! My pink Wednesday nails were Zoya Neeka topped with China Glaze Crackle Glaze Haute Metal. A really nice combo, though not my greatest pictures, ignore the tip wear I was trying to make the mani last.

A great combination to wear. The kids loved that I had pink crackley nail polish (their words) although they thought Neeka looked black not purple.

Good news...Smokey seems to be settling in. She's eaten and starting to creep out of her room to explore. She was even playing with us this evening. Now she's meowing at us for attention. Good signs!

Zoyas Smoke collection is the creme half of the Smoke and Mirrors fall collection. To be honest I wasn't so keen on it. I thought I needed Cynthia and Jana, but not the others. Now that I have the collection I love it and need them all!

My photo's don't capture all the beauty of the Smoke collection. The dark cremes were especially difficult to capture.

Of course these all applied beautifully. The colours are perfect for Autumn so I have 1 day leftto wear them all! Thank goodness Spring is coming. I'm loving the daffodils popping up at the moment.

I loved wearing Codie and wanted to glitz it up a bit. So here's Codie topped with NYX Gilded Glitter.

News flash....Smokey just jumped up on to the couch with me. Yay she's starting to like me?

Help! and meet Smokey

Help!

This is Smokey. She is a gorgeous one year old cat.

Isn't she a beautiful colour? A friend at work couldn't keep her, so we agreed to adopt her. She hates me though...well hates a strong word.She doesn't know me and it's her first night here. As you can see she won't come out of her travel cage. Yup, that's food I tried to lure her out with. She just looks so sad and I want her to settle in easily.

So help! How do I help her settle in and feel safe with us?

At the moment I'm just leaving her be, but any other tips and tricks would be greatly appreciated. I've never re-homed a cat before. All ours have been kittens when we got them.

Also...look what we have!

11 baby mice. They're 3 days old now. I love how their markings are starting to show now. Look at the cute little one with a black head and bum and big white belly! Mummy mouse Jasmine is a shiny black mouse and daddy Barnabas is a brown with white band. I can't wait to see how they turn out.
