About Me

Hi there! I'm Nichole. I'm in my 40s, and I have a definite love of all things beauty related.

I'm a married housewife with two teenaged kids, a wild-ass dog called Rigel, and a hateful little cat called Miss Katy. It's a noisy household, but we have a good time for the most part.

I love nail polish, makeup, fiber arts, books, bad movies, buying things I don't need nor have a place for, drawing, and eating indian food as often as possible. 

Thanks to the Apocalypse, I have fallen face first into a hilarious midlife crisis. I got my first tattoo and my first non-ear piercing in the last few years and I can't wait to get more. I can confirm tattoos are like chips: you can't stop at just one. 

I have also taken control of my mental health. 2020 was a rough time for multiple reasons, and I decided that I was tired of being sad. Thanks to therapy and drugs, I am almost a regular human again. I recommend it to everyone. 

I am a mother, cancer survivor, sarcasm farmer, alopecian who loves memes and wigs. I wish I had given up on my hair a decade ago. Wigs have been a revelation.

I grew up in the San Joaquin Valley, but have lived in the Monterey Bay area since I was 15...so I guess I can say I'm a local now. I love the chilly, foggy weather of the coast...especially when compared to the 100+ degree summers of the valley. I don't think I could ever move away from here.

I started my own artsy craft business a few years ago. With the help of a couple of friends (mostly Francine. Love you!) I dubbed my new venture The Crafty Taco and haven't looked back. It has been an excellent outlet for my creativity and very therapeutic. I recommend art of some kind to everyone.
