let my nails grow

They are in need of a little cuticle loving, but I have not picked, bitten, or ruined a single nail in over 3 weeks. They are already looking long and elegant. I am setting up a manicure date for this week and then I can check this as accomplished!

Evenings are when I feel that crunch time. The day is coming to a close and of course I have not checked off all the things on my list I wanted to accomplish. Work, work and more work then home to cleaning and cooking and all the things that have nothing really to do with me as a person. Why do I feel putting the dishes away is more important than some self pampering? I don’t have a good answer, which means it’s time to change that habit. So today I am giving myself a manicure. I gave myself a pedi the day before. My feet look great. For me it’s more about paying attention to myself and making the time for these things. I am worth the 20 minutes it takes to give myself a full manicure and the few minutes in the evenings it takes to moisturize the cuticles and put a coat of strengthener on. Funny how we forget these small things.
