Sparkling pink manicure for spring 2026

Pink manicure for spring 2026: sparkling Dior nail polish / pink Hermes nail polish /

Pink is hot for spring 2026, not just as an on-trend color, but as a classic spring hue; kinda like florals. haha See what I did there? The Devil Wears Prada 2 comes out in May, and I can’t wait to see it! But. . .I digress. . .we are talking about pink nail polish for spring.

While we wait for Chanel’s spring blue hue and Hermes to release their own spring/summer beauty collection, pink is always fresh and light for the spring season; even if the weather in your part of the world isn’t spring-like yet. This sparkling pink glitter nail polish from Dior’s spring 2026 beauty collection looks fabulous on top of any spring color, but it definitely adds a little va-va-voom to regular pink nail polish. I love the pink sparkling look for spring!

If you already have a pink nail polish in your collection, you can add this spring nail polish from Dior for the full effect, if not, this beautiful Hermes pink/rose is the perfect nail polish for your collection. Love!

Note: The Hermes nail polish shown is Rose Papillon Irise which was limited edition and is now sold out. Rose Coquille is also beautiful and slightly lighter than what I am showing. It too will look fabulous under Dior’s sparkling pink. My links will take you to Hermes Rose Coquille. Of course, any pink will look amazing with Dior Fizzy.

Zazil and night lights

wearing: pearl earrings / blue sweater / pearl necklace / peacoat / winter nail polish / black shoulder bag / black barrel jeans / black boots /

The weather was clear and spring-like this past weekend so we decided to enjoy a meal out at Zazil on Santana Row. We were lucky to get an outside table where we could the music from El Jardin, the night lights, and the overall evening buzz.

I was in a mole mood, so I ordered the Plantain Croquettes with mole sauce, and my husband enjoyed chicken enchiladas. As usual, the food was delicious. If you are local, and you haven’t been to Zazil, I highly recommend going; and order something with mole sauce! Yum!

After dinner, we enjoyed the overall mood of a weekend night at Santana Row and took some photos in front of NetApp’s digital art.

I wore my cozy peacoat and barrel jeans, which you may have noticed are a huge favorite of mine this season! Cozy cozy!

I hope you are enjoying this clear weather too, thanks for stopping by!

Easy won ton soup recipe

Winter is the perfect season for soup; actually, the entire year is perfect for soup, but winter is especially perfect! haha

One of my favorite soup’s to order is won ton soup, so I decided to try and make it at home. Since I don’t know how to make won ton’s, I bought them and made an easy soup my family loved and has requested I make again and again. Love!

So, if you love soup, and want an easy won ton soup recipe, here you go!

What you need:

  • 5 cans of chicken broth (or broth of your choice)
  • six carrots
  • green onions
  • Can of baby corn
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 packages of won tons. I found pork and shrimp won ton’s in my local Safeway freezer section. Your local market should have frozen won ton’s you can use.
  • Feel free to add additional vegetables you enjoy.

Use a large pot. I used the pot I normally use to cook pasta.

  1. Add broth and olive oil to pot, turn on burner to medium to heat broth.
  2. Cut carrots and add to broth, let them boil for about five minutes before the next step.
  3. Cut onions and add to broth along with the baby corn and mushrooms.
  4. Let the vegetables simmer on a low boil for about fifteen minutes. Test a carrot to see if it’s halfway soft. Once your carrots are halfway soft, add the won ton’s to the pot.
  5. Cook for another ten minutes and test a won ton to make sure it’s nice and hot.
  6. Once the won ton’s are hot, you’re done! This recipe makes roughly six bowls of won ton soup

That’s it! The whole process takes roughly 30 minutes. So, it is an easy and quick soup to make for dinner.

I hope you enjoy this quick and easy won ton soup recipe!

Thanks for stopping by!
