Jamberry July 2016



Good afternoon everyone! Can you believe that we are already half way through the year? As I get older, the years feel like they go faster. So who is ready to hear about all the new JAMazing products Jamberry has to offer for July?

Here is July's Sisters' Style Exclusive wrap! With summer in full swing, many people are visiting the beach. This month's Sisters' Style wrap is all about beach vibes. These wraps will be available for purchase until July 31st.



This month's Stylebox is all about summer. There are three different styles to choose from: Feminine, Classic, and Trendy. Subscribe by July 15th to get this month's box. Included in this Stylebox is also a bracelet along with two exclusive wraps.






This months Color Pop is Purple Reign. This lacquer will only be available for purchase while supplies last, so you will want to order as soon as you can before it is no longer available.


Jamberry keeps surprising us with new Disney Inspired wraps! Even though the Princess Ariel Collection was retired, there is a new Ariel Inspired wrap available for purchase! 



As if Jamberry wasn't cool enough with the Disney Collection by Jamberry, I am so excited to announce even more awesomeness! MARVEL presented by Jamberry! Yes, marvel wraps! You can purchase these wraps now!


The summer Olympics are only one month away! Jamberry is sponsoring 15 female US athletes for the Summer Games! Jamberry has created a special line of nail wraps and will be giving a part of the proceeds from every wrap we sell directly to the athletes! Why is this so important? Did you know that 60% of US athletes receive less than $12 K a year from the US Team to fund their training? Many athletes are forced to work at retail or other flexible jobs and scramble to make even basic financial obligations. Unlike other countries that fully fund their athletes, US athletes make huge personal financial sacrifices in order to chase their dreams. The most impactful thing we can do is supply direct financial support. You have an opportunity to help Jamberry do something really special for these athletes. Not only are we able to help 15 beautiful and talented women, these wraps are gorgeous! These wraps are now all available for purchase.



Jamberry collaborated with an Australian nail artist and they came out with some beautiful new designs! Introducing the SoNailicous X Jamberry collection! Check out the twist and Classic French tips here.


As if summer wasn't already fun enough, Jamberry has a new collection coming out inspired by the best selling swimsuits from Swimsuits For All. These wraps will become available for purchase on July 7th!

Memorial Day in Indiana


For Memorial Day weekend we took a trip up to Evansville, Indiana. That is where my husband was born and grew up in so we were also visiting his family.

While we were there we visited the Mesker Park Zoo, I got to try G.D. Ritzy's, and we went to the Children's Museum. The zoo was a lot bigger than we thought it would be, so we let our boys walk instead of bringing their strollers. The heat mixed with more walking than we thought, they ended up on our shoulders for half of it. It really was a nice zoo and had plenty to see and do.







I got to try G.D. Ritzy's for the first time, and oh my goodness, their ice cream is amazing. We went back two days in a row so I could get some more, and I don't think that is just the pregnancy talking.


We also went to the Children's museum in downtown Evansville. I wish we had more time there because the place was really awesome and my boys loved it! Three stories, plus a water room!





On our way home we decided to stop by the Opry Mills Malls in Nashville. We ate dinner at The Aquarium restaurant. It was a neat experience and the atmosphere was great, but not sure if I would go again. I ordered something I didn't really want, that may be the pregnancy talking this time. My husband on the other hand, loved his food.


Over all it was a great three day weekend.

May Photography Retreat

In May, I had the privilege to be apart of an amazing opportunity, a photography retreat, this was a first for me. I didn't know what to expect, I was nervous, but also excited.

Six local photographers came together for a day to photograph different models. This was for practice and networking. All of the ladies were so wonderful and all had a different style of shooting, which is my favorite part! Even though we were photographing the same model, no one's pictures will look the same.

All of our models were so amazing and so different. It's hard not to share all of the pictures I was able to capture. Here is just a small sneak of the amazingness from that day!


















A huge shout out to my friend and fellow photographer, Tara, with Silver Reflections Photography, for organizing this retreat and I can't wait to do more in the future!

A Getaway to Atlanta


During the month of May we decided to do a small weekend getaway with our friends to Atlanta, Georgia.
We stayed at a really nice apartment like hotel for two nights. Went to Six Flags over Georgia and Zoo Atlanta.

It was my first time ever going to Six Flags over Georgia. Being pregnant, there wasn't really much I could ride, but enjoyed getting to see my boys have a good time.




It was also our first time going to Zoo Atlanta and we loved it!



No Atlanta trip is complete without stopping by Sprinkles for some cupcakes!



Even though it was just a short weekend trip, it felt like a full vacation and we had a blast hanging out with our friends in a different place.
