Happy National Nail Polish Day! This is such a fabulous day for us nail polish fans. We can use this day to add to our nail polish collections, polish our nails (of course!), and admire all the fabulous colors we can paint our nails with this summer season and beyond. Love!

Right now I am in love with all the fabulous nail polish colors for the summer 2025 season. I am loving shades of pink, and mocha, as well as the fun colors Hermes is giving us; especially purple. Love!

I am also a sucker for anything metallic, so the gold from Chanel is making me happy. Love it!

Checking out the new Nintendo store

If you are into eSports and gaming, then you are already aware of the new Nintendo store in San Francisco! Located on Union Square, the new Nintendo San Francisco offers two stories of merch, consoles, and of course, games! Since the store just opened last week, we found ourselves in a line just to enter and shop.

We went on a weekday, since on weekends you need to make an appointment to shop. This meant waiting in a standby line for one hour and twenty minutes. The line wasn’t bad since Nintendo had employees come out and talk to us about games. Plus, the other customers were friendly and there was a sense of community in the line. This made the line feel quite fast!

Once we entered the store, we had thirty minutes to shop. This was the right amount of time for my kids to choose what they wanted and also float around the store to see everything. We had a lot of fun, and my kids left happy. Love that!

I decided to wear my go-to black pants and this fun, white peplum top with a twist. It is perfect for the office as well as other occasions. There’s nothing like a classic white top with black pants. It is always an easy outfit, or shall I say, go-to outfit!

After our shopping adventure, we walked up to Chinatown and tried a restaurant I saw on TikTok. I know it sounds risky, but the place ended up being delicious! We enjoyed dimsum including pork xlb, sticky rice shumai, and the cheese and corn bao’s pictured above. Yum! The restaurant was Dumpling Fushion, and I recommend!

So, if you plan to visit the new Nintendo store, be sure to make a reservation for the weekend, or try going on a weekday; just wear comfy shoes and plan for the line. Have fun with it!

Thanks for stopping by!
