We're big fans of the nail sticker trend at ChickAdvisor. We love how easy they are to apply and how you can achieve gorgeous prints in just minutes. We've even used them to bling out a French mani! Of course, the downside to nail stickers is that you're limited to whatever designs are sold.

That's why I was so happy to come across this genius idea called breakfast pizza. It's quick, easy and has minimal preparation required. Plus it combines all the taste of pizza with the deliciousness...
