Because I have nothing better to do...new nail polish set

These days I don't get to buy too many things for myself...nothing useless and just for fun anyway. And somehow, the less you buy, the less you want...But when I heard of a nail polish advent calendar, my "want mode" switched back on instantly. And fortunately for me it was not too crazily expensive either. I mean 42 euros for 20 nail polishes and 4 caviar ball bottles seemed like a good deal to me.
If you've been looking for that Ciaté mini mani set, you probably know it is quite hard to find if you're in Europe. But I found it on QVCUK where it was sold out at first but you could sign up to be on a waiting list. I didn't have long to wait and today my package was in the mail.
The postman must have heard me screamed too ;)

 You get a little bottle behind each door. The bottles are smaller than regular Ciaté bottles, but if you're like me, you never use up a bottle of nail polish anyway.

I had to try the caviar manicure right away. I won't bore you with a tutorial as there are  literally hundreds on youtube
I am not very skilled at applying polish in general, but that look was fairly easy to achieve. It's really fun and cute...and it does stay on better than I had hoped. It won't last for days though.
On the whole I like all the colors minus 1 or 2...but even those could look cool with other colors...so I ordered some nail stencils too (here).

And as a bonus, this package also made Pepita happy ^_^

CREATIVE HANDS FOR GREEK ANIMALS IN NEED!

Here is a call to all Animal Lovers and creative souls!!!

My friend  Anna from Annuk Creations loves animals, she has been helping cats in Greece. Here's a way you can help too.

The Greek Animal Wefare Society is organizing a Christmas Bazaar in order to raise funds for their wonderful activities of helping animals in need. As you know, dear friends, Greece is going through very difficult times, and of course animals are suffering too, since it is getting increasingly difficult to raise funds for helping stray and homeless animals, for medical expenses, food and neuterings!

***IT WOULD BE WONDERFUL IF YOU COULD HELP TOO!***
Even if you are living abroad, you can give your contribution for the Christmas Bazaar! You just need to get creative and create something handmade, or if you have something you have already created and that you would like to donate for the Bazaar, you can mail it directly to the Greek Animal Welfare Society! Any other items (in good condition) are welcome too!
Your package needs to arrive by the end of November. The Christmas Bazaar will take place in December.
If you have any questions, please contact Anna. Send your creation(s) to:

More little pumpkin heads or Halloween at Casa McBain

 I managed to put the hat on Daget. She was less than pleased and this is the best photo I could achieve.

 Diego (aka Mister Chu) was not too thrilled either.

 Oddly Eugénie didn't seem to mind at all. She even went for a snack with the hat on.

Pepita had to supervise ...of course ;)

Happy Halloween!!!!

My little Pumpkin heads

The other day I was thinking that getting a pumpkin hat for the cats would be a cool idea. My friend Ana from Mysterious Cats made one for them.

Gazette was super cool about it, I guess he thinks it's comfy to keep his head warm during a nap.

Doudou (aka Voldemort):  stylish and elegant.

Frank Kitten was less enthusiastic but still agreed to pose for a photo or 2.

And Pepita, well...let me quote her :
"I ain't no stinky pumpkin, I wanna be a gorgeous fairy for Halloween. I'll go pee on something now".
