2 Week Wrap Up!

It has been a busy time in DrChopSuey Jam-land. Here's a rundown of the past 2 weeks! 

New STUFF! 
The previous week I wrote a blog post on the September Exclusives. These are the exclusive wraps that are only available for this month. Make sure you check out these specials because when the calendar turns into October, these babies are GONE! More info for the September Exclusives are on the blog post! 

Sister Style for September!

September Hostess Exclusive Wrap!

Now... we have a LOT of new stuff! A LOT! I'm just going to list everything here: 

How To Cook That x Jamberry
It's exciting to see that Jamberry and YouTube sensation An Reardon (How to Cook That) have come out with new wraps! These are available for a limited time and really you need to check these out. They are SUPER sweet. Apparently Ann will be wearing some of the designs on her upcoming shows so be sure to check it out! 

NFL Collection by Jamberry
OMFG! Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  No comments... just adding the Patriots wraps in bulk to my cart. 

All teams are represented so if you happen to like another team... those wraps are there as well. 

Oh and just to throw (pun sorta intended there), these NLF Collection by Jamberry wraps would look great paired with one of my favorite wraps, Footballs on Clear! 

2016 Seasonal Collection
They are FINALLY here! And for ease in searching and browsing, these are the different categories of Seasonal Wraps. 

Autumn
Calming, warm hues, pretty leaves, cute foxes, pie.... Yeah. You might find that you like the Autumn Collection as much as I do!

Halloween
Who doesn't love a little cuteness to go with the scary holiday?! AND... be sure to check out those wraps that GLOW IN THE FREAKIN DARK!?!?!?! 

Winter
You all know how much I love winter. I might have to wear some of these all winter long. I'm in LOVE with Silver Frost, Snow Days, Snow Bound (you seeing a theme here?). Yeah. I love snow and I have a cart full of snow wraps. :) 

Holiday
The holiday wraps are def cute and fun. But if you are a knitter... CHECK OUT THE Christmas Socks wraps! Yep... they are in my cart! 

#TellYourStory

Breast cancer knows no bounds - We all know someone who has been affected by breast cancer. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of each of the five wraps from the #TellYourStory collection will be donated to the American Cancer Society (and a similar organization in Canada and Australia). These organizations to help fight breast cancer through research and prevention.

Sharing stories about the treatment and survivor path can offer hope and support to others - #TellYourStory!

Two Tip Tuesdays
That's right - I don't do a Weekly  Wrap up and I happen to have 2 Tip Tuesdays! The first post discussed how I am lazy and skip parts of the nail prep process. Want to know more about those steps that I skip? Check out the Quick and DirTay Version here! 

Nail Prep is key --- learn how to do it a little more quickly!

The other Tip Tuesday post was also a good reminder for myself. The different types of wraps (matte, sparkle, satin, etc) have different suggested heating times. This would have been good for me to keep in mind several weeks ago when I used Trippin' and basically heated them up too long! The graphic below shows the recommended heating times for the different types of wraps and you can read more about it here. If you have a question about heating times or application process, please feel free to ping me! 

Wrap Heating Times are Important to Know!

Jams I'm Rockin' 
Did you know you can rock your college spirit with Jams? We have many university and sorority premium wraps so you can show your pride for your team and sisterhood! While these are NOT part of the B3G1 deal, they are really nice for showing my love for my Ducks. And as you can see, for the first University of Oregon football game of the season, you KNOW I had to rock my Ducks and Footballs on clear wraps! 

University of Oregon and Oregon Ducks! Yaaaaassss!

Jammin' Climbin' Ducks!

Then this past week I decided to rock some new wraps from the new catalog. These Vertical Garden wraps are very sweet. Maybe a little floral for me so I toned down the girly-girl with the Tungsten Sparkle wraps. I do love that you can totally change the look and feel of a Jamicure by mixing and matching different wraps, gel and lacquers! Initially was scared of doing that but (clearly) I've jumped full on into mixed Jamicures! :) 

First new catalog wraps Jamicure! Here I'm wearing Vertical Garden and Tungsten Sparkle

My Why
Last but not least - I am so incredibly happy to say that because of your support I was able to send a donation of $450 to the NIH Children's Inn! That's so far a total of $550 to help the children and families going through pediatric clinical trials at the NIH. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I appreciate YOU so much for letting me donate to this incredible charity organization. 

DrChopSuey Jams Weekly Wrap Up

Here's a wrap of of the week of DrChopSuey Jam fun!  

Going-Going-GONE!
Twice a year Jamberry launches a new catalog with a ton of new wraps. But the month before this happens they retire a bunch of (our favorite!) wraps to make make room for the new inventory. Right now 96 different wraps are set to be retired at the end of August and they are indicating that it's basically first come first served. That's right, once they run out they won't print any more! I was going to do a big 'ole party for the VIPs at the end of the month, but I was afraid our favorites would run out -- so I'm doing a bulk order THIS weekend! Of course you can order anytime this month, but let me know if you want to be included in the weekend bulk order! 

These are some of my favs retiring wraps! Yep... I'm stocking up! Top left to right: Word to the Wise, Tinted Classics, Bon Voyage, Bottom left to right: Fowl Play, Obsessed, and my fav Sparkling Marsala (I miiiight have ordered 3 or 4 of that wrap alone....). 

Throwback Thursday
The Throwback Thursday this week highlights two highly graphic and cool wraps - check them out and get them before they goes away on Monday, August 8th!!

Blog post on my Stylin' Trippin' Jams
This week I made a confession and blogged about my love-hate relationship with Trippin. I had previously put Pixie and En Pointe on my nails only to have En Pointe make me look like I had jaundence, so I switched out and fell madly in love with Trippin. Technically I had more than a week with Trippin' on (over 2 weeks with Pixie!!) and the metallic wraps fell to the pressure of climbing. I had some peeling going on with the Trippin'. Again, I had over a week with the wraps. But clearly the sparkle Pixie could take more climbing insult than Trippin. Ah well. I still love (and bought more) of that Trippin' wrap because it's beautiful! 

Jams I'm Rockin'
Look at these beauties! This week I'm rockin' Seeing Stars, a Jamberry nail wrap exclusive for the Olympics. Be sure to check out my blog post this coming Tuesday on these awesome wraps - all of the Jamberry Go for the Gold nail wraps help to support female Olympic athletes! Get your own Go for the Gold wraps and support Team USA! 

Donation
Last but not least - This week I was able to send my first donation to the NIH Children's Inn. This is 'My Why' - why I'm a Jamberry Independent Consultant. Because of this venture I'm (and YOUR support) I'm able to send financial donations to help children and families participating in (and depending on) current biomedical research. To learn more about my first donation (THANK YOU to my DrChopSuey Jam VIPs!) check out my blog post from earlier this week! 

Holy Guacamole - THANK YOU!!

THANK YOU for your support in DrChopSuey Jams! I have been a Jamberry Independent Consultant for less than a month and I have already have my first $100 donation to the NIH Children's Inn!! THANK YOU goes to my VIPs, Party Hostess, and my JaMama! 

As I've mentioned before, the NIH Children's Inn is a private, non-profit residence for children and families participating in pediatric research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Children and their families seek treatment at NIH, often as their last, best hope for a healthy future through the promise of clinical research. These young patients are facing medical challenges that range from cancer and blood disorders to metabolic conditions and illnesses that lack successful therapies and are often researched and treated only at NIH. The Inn's partnership with NIH makes it possible for these critically ill children to receive much-needed treatment while also helping to advance scientific and medical discoveries. 

I became a Jamberry Independent Consultant to promote a product that I actually really like and enjoy wearing, but mostly as a way for me to be able to financially give back. With your support you are supporting me and my journey, and most importantly, you are supporting journey to continue for so many others. Thank YOU so, so, so much! 

Check out the DrChopSuey Jams blog for more information (or feel free to message me with questions!). And if you'd like to purchase and support this venture, go to https://drchopsuey.jamberry.com. 

Supporting Biomedical Research - Supporting Children

I wanted to take a moment to let you know that this part-time position is providing me with an opportunity to do something I've wanted to do for a while. A portion of the profits I earn from being a Jamberry Independent Consultant will be donated to the NIH Children's Inn, a private, non-profit residence for children and families participating in pediatric research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Children and their families seek treatment at NIH, often as their last, best hope for a healthy future through the promise of clinical research. These young patients are facing medical challenges that range from cancer and blood disorders to metabolic conditions and illnesses that lack successful therapies and are often researched and treated only at NIH. The Inn's partnership with NIH makes it possible for these critically ill children to receive much-needed treatment while also helping to advance scientific and medical discoveries.

With your Jamberry purchases through my Jamberry Independent Consultant site, you are not only supporting me, you are also helping all the children and families with comfort and care during their difficult medical treatments. Thank you for your support in my business and in my mission in helping biomedical research and most of all, these children.
