AMELI Zurich Kelly Leather Bag

 

Wow.  A new  💚❤💚 accessories brand in my favorite kelly, top-handle, multi-strap style.  

Met a company Rep while in Europe, and I just had to have this beautiful, soft-leather, functional bag in my favorite shade of dark green (also available in 4 other colors).  Top-handled plus long, adjustable, removable straps; and gold-tone HW -- awesome 👍

Introducing, the gorgeous VIADUCT bag!!!

Germany: Checkpoint Charlie Museum, Berlin

 

 Happy New Year! I am extremely grateful for God's mercy in Christ by giving me my family, my grandbabies, my pets, my liberty --- my Life in general. 

I need only to see our many pictures from the amazing  CHECKPOINT CHARLIE Museum in Berlin to prompt even more gratefulness on my part. I currently have, thank God, what people in the past were desperate to obtain. They went through extreme danger or even death to have a brighter future for themselves and for their loved ones, or to have the basic human right of FREEDOM from the iron-grip of a Socialist government. I highly recommend 👍👍👍 a visit.  Here are a few of the pics ...

Louis Vuitton: Neglected Kids in Berlin

While we Ladies were inside and enjoying Louis Vuitton  Berlin, this was my hubby's idea of a joke with our GrandBabies. He even posted the picture on social media, LoL

Renovated, Gorgeous and Light-filled Apartment in Germany

 While we were in Europe:  The homeowners  are friends of my son's family. The most complicated change was for Z & R to move the kitchen from the back of the home to the front -- the result was  amazing. The home's stucco ceiling was left intact and slightly improved as needed.  Modern furniture, simple Art,  thriving plants, and pretty wood floors combine to give an even better Wow-factor to this beautiful 100 year-old historic space. I was impressed!

Nail Art: Acrylic Nails, Part 1

 

gel nails with rhinestones

 In spite of the ongoing Covid19 Pandemic, we are travelling across the pond once again. 

 I make it a point to get my nails done on important trips.  

It is usually gel nails for me: a few seconds under UV-lights make the finish tough, long-lasting, beautiful. 

This time, I tried acrylic nails. Powders plus formula; and boom -- the nails supposedly are equally long-lasting and beautiful. It's my first time to try them, so we shall see.

My inspiration as far as main nail color:

my acrylic powder nails w/ gold-tone rhinestones
