Thank you all!

Hey everyone!
I haven't seen you all in a while! 
I have A small update and a huge thank you so let's get to it!
My aunt is out of the Hospital as of today (yay!) so it looks like I'll be able to start up some nail art again! I do have a few pictures of the few polishes I've slapped on in the past week, so I guess I wasn't exactly polish free. 
I've also finished my first 2 big orders with my polish shop AND I'm almost done with my Fancy Shawl Pt. 2. Yeah, I had to redo it COMPLETELY because it was my first time using a sewing machine, this was me :

I messed SOMETHING up and my fabric came out all bunched up and I tried everything to fix it, but eventually just made it worst. 
Oh well, The Fancy Shawl Pt. 2 is looking mighty fiiiiine, so I guess I can't complain (even if I had to spend another $80 on fabric).
Over all, All is well in Leeshaland, I definitely foresee myself once again spending glorious nights with my much neglected nail polishes.

And now it's time for the thank you!
Thank you so much to everyone who purchased my Love 4 JLK Nail Polishes. 
As promised, I donated half to St. Jude's and half to the family of JLK. I managed $35 which meant $17.50 for each. On the JLK website, I was having a problem with the .50 (when I'd go to pay, it would say $175,000! And as much as I'd love to donate that amount I have no where near the funds for it!) so I just evened it out to $18.00. Here are the screenshots with personal info blanked out :



So thank you so much to everyone, for both sticking around the blog and buying polish for such a good cause!
I'll see you all on St. Paddy's Day with some fun, fun stufff!

Love 4 JLK

Hello everyone, and Happy Valentines day! 
Today we'll be taking a bit of a different turn here on my blog for Valentines day. I've been following THIS blog for a while and every post has broken my heart. This beautiful little girl, JLK, was diagnosed back in October of 2013 with DIPG. The blog has been written by JLK's mother and chronicles her heartbreak through this difficult time in both her and her families lives. I encourage you to send your love and prayers to the family of JLK, as she has just gained her angel wings as of 2/12/14.
"The Glitter Squad", as the followers of JLK's story are called, inspired me to get my glitter loving butt into gear and DO something in honor of JLK and all of the other children who suffer such awful things.
Since it's Valentine's Day, I thought I'd start by sharing the love in a different way..

This is Love 4 JLK :



I made this glittery goody which features gold and pink holo hexes, holo "fairy dust" and silver glitter. 
This nail polish is available HERE . 
The best part about it? ALL PROCEEDS WILL GO TO A GOOD CAUSE! 50% will go to the Family of JLK, and you can find her donation website HERE. And 50% will go to St. Jude Children's Hospital, website found HERE.
The only thing that will not go to charity will, of course, be the shipping costs.

The nail polish is available in a Full Size for $7.00 and Mini Size for $3.50
This is a special nail polish that will be available for 1 month, starting today, 2/14/14 to 3/14/14.
All money earned from the sales of these nail polishes will go to the JLK donation site and St.Jude's website. 
Thank you so much for reading and if you don't wish to buy a polish, at least keep the family of JLK in your thoughts and prayers!
