I just LOVE press on nails. So quick, so easy, and my favorite brand is imPress by Braodway. The photo is me rocking "Get into it." It's a very cute zebra tip nail with pink or purple flowers. The product info says this product "features advanced nail technology, so you can get a salon perfect manicure in seconds-simply peel, press on and you're done.

You wipe your clean, polish free nails with the prep pad, pull the sticky tab off the back of the nail, then press it onto you nail and you're done. Simply, quick and super cute.

It's obvious that Mesu Andrews has taken the time to really research for her books and that adds a good depth to the story. In Miriam we find a women who is strong in her faith, sure of her God, but also human. Miriam is a gifted midwife and healer, blessed with the gift of prophesy. She has a strong sense of what is right, and even when facing the Pharaoh she does what would honor God. She is the type of g...
