We are nail art fanatics, but we are stripping this completely back to basics – the fantastic thing that about this tutorial is that it is just about basic nail care. So after going nail art or even acrylic crazy, be good to your fingers!
This is a day that should be devoted to stodgy comfort food and the comfort of a toasty blanket while knocking back hot chocolate with marshmallows, however if you are too far away from home to enjoy any of that good stuff until later – then please enjoy some comfort food for the eyes via the incredible Martha Stewart.

It is time for some Monday Magic – yes, I know the cold it is more magic than tragic, but I still have my New Year’s mojo happening. Although my hands are still like blocks of ice! Today’s True Dat is of the computer wallpaper variety! Whatever it is… Let it go!
