Perfect black nail polish for Halloween

Dior pied de poule nail polish black

Halloween is fast approaching, and maybe this is your favorite holiday for dressing up and having fun! If you are looking for a vampy hue to grace your nails, you have come to the right place. Dior has the perfect black nail polish for Halloween.

There are so many new nail polish colors from Dior now that they have revamped their formula! Dior Pied-de-Poule nail polish is a deep, dark black polish which is ideal for the Halloween season; or any time of the year if you are a black nail polish fan!

Sometimes dark nail polish colors can be streaky, and not apply as well as they should. This is not the case with Dior Pied-de-Poule nail polish. I tested it out with one base coat, and two coats of color. Voila! It has the perfect color saturation and looks like a solid black, cream nail polish. Love that!

So, if you are looking for the perfect black nail polish for Halloween, then Dior Pied-de-Poule might be the one for you!

Here are a few of my favorite Dior nail polish colors from their new, reformulated collection:

Stay tuned! In a few weeks I will have the holiday collection for you.

Thanks for stopping by, and have fun dressing up on Halloween!

Midterms care package ideas for college students

Midterms care package ideas from top left: Squishie / coffee candy box / chocolate truffles / room diffuser / pillow spray / coloring pens / coloring book / chocolate biscuits /

Can you believe it is already time for midterm exams? It may seen like you just dropped off your student in their college dorm, but they are already half-way through the semester or quarter! This means stress is kicking in, and your child is having possible panic attacks. You may already have received a phone call where your child has expressed how stressed out they are. Never fear, my care package ideas post is here!

Since you cannot take your child’s midterm for them, and you are not there to give them the mommy hug which makes everything better, the next best thing you can do is send a little box of love from home. I love wrapping up a few items which help relieve stress, and also to show some love from home. You can easily put together a small box, which is easy for your college student to carry from their commons area, back to their dorm room.

One of the big things college students miss when they are away from home is you! Some kids will admit it, while others will not, but they all miss you! One thing I have noticed, and spotted, in several dorm rooms are squishmallows. You may think squishies are for little kids, but they are not! College students love having multiple squishmallows in their dorm room. They offer comfort and a soft hug. While this can never replace a mommy or daddy hug, it does offer a form of comfort when your student is feeling stressed-out, sad or homesick. A new squishie will be a huge form of comfort during midterm exams. I love this one which is wearing a beanie! Since the weather is cooling off, your student will appreciate that you sent them a squishie with proper attire.

Fragrance is a great way to create a calm environment. This lavender pillow spray will help introduce a calming scent into your students study area, allowing them to be able to lower their stress level. Love that!

Coloring is a form of relaxation and this coloring book for adults will allow your student to escape from their stress and enter a creative world. The use of a coloring book is the perfect 30-minute study break, especially when your student is feeling overwhelmed! This set of pens will help them color away!

Lastly, something tasty is in order! These coffee candies and these chocolate boxes are the perfect treat for your student. Yummy!
