Book Review: The First Ladies by Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray

Image
The First Ladies by Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray is a historical fiction novel that spans many years and tells of the friendship between former first lady Eleanor Roosevelt and civil rights activist Mary McLeod Bethune. I don't know if I would have picked up this book if it hadn't been the August selection for one of the book clubs I belong to in my area because I don't read a lot of historical fiction. However, I am so glad that I read it and was able to learn many things I hadn't learned about in any of my history classes.  I don't recall learning anything about Mary McLeod Bethune, and she is an important part of American history. The things she helped spearhead to provide African American people equal rights is quite impressive. One of the things I was horrified to learn about is Franklin D. Roosevelt's resistance to stop lynchings because he was afraid of losing the Southern Democrats backing for his New Deal Bill. Another thing that I fo...

Product Review: Morgan Taylor Professional Nail Lacquer, Go For The Glow

product review morgan taylor nail lacquer

Morgan Taylor Professional Nail Lacquer is a great product that I discovered at Sally Beauty Supply when the sales clerk mentioned that it was buy one get one free. I purchased two bottles of the nail polish to try out. Recently, I ordered two bottles of Morgan Taylor Professional Nail Lacquer online on Amazon.com. One of those colors is Go for the Glow.

It arrived last Friday, and I decided to try it out that night. As I started to paint my nails, I noticed the nail polish was a lot thinner than the ones I purchased from Sally Beauty Supply. I also noticed that it was a bit streaky, so it did take four coats for it to look like it should. However, each coat seemed to dry quickly, which was a plus in my book. It actually took my base coat and top coat longer to dry than the actual nail polish.

product review Morgan Taylor Professional Nail Lacquer

With that being said, I did a lot more cleaning over the weekend . . . dusting, dishes, sweeping, mopping, etc., and I found that the nail polish started wearing off a lot quicker. By the end of the night on Sunday, the nail polish had chipped off one of my nails. So, it was time to take the polish off and repaint my nails yet again.

I think that if I hadn't done so much house work, or at least worn gloves as I was doing it, that it would have held up much better. Even with all the negatives, it won't keep me from buying this brand again as I love the color, and it normally holds up much better than it did.

Five out of five stars is what I ranked Morgan Taylor Professional Nail Lacquer, Go For The Glow. I love the fact the color looked the same on my nails as it did in the bottle and online. I can't wait to try out even more of the colors they offer.
