This photo sums it up – cheese/good food with family while traveling (with fabulous nails that you can’t see in the photo).

I’m a Northern Californian, Canadian quadroon.  You figure it out.  I live with my two kitties Abbey and Lily and boyfriend in beautiful wine country and around a busy life I like to paint my nails for smiles.

Some of my favorites

Nails…I love mint and coral colored polishes and anything sparkly!  I have a background in formal art so I have fun painting designs, but sometimes I just want something simple.  Seche Vite smells horrible, but works wonders for base and top coats.

Cuisines of the World…with a heavy Asian base!  Japanese, Korean, Indian/Nepalese, Thai, Ethiopian, French, Italian, Mediterranean and berries.
I’m at a score of 70/100 on the food list challenge.
