girl loves gloss is 8 years old, but I’ve been blogging since 2009. Not only do I love photography, writing and all that blogging entail, but I genuinely enjoy reading blogs as well.

SOB STORY ALERT! MY STAY AT HOME MOM BUDGET DOESN’T INCLUDE SALON MANI/PEDIS. I know, I know, I am so hard done by. What can I say, I do really like having my nails done! Since I chase after a maniac toddler and wash my hands about 30573 times a day, regular polish just doesn’t…
