The return of an obsession

Back in jr. high and high school, and probably even into college I had an obsession with nail polish.  I would "do" my nails several times a week.  -Boy I wish I had that much time again!!

Well, now thanks to Pinterest (follow me here) I'm making time to have fun like that again and take care of myself in a frivolous way.  It really does make me happy to look down and see them painted.

Now this was my first try at an ombre look, and it actually started because I painted my nails one color...hated it...then added some sparkle...still hated it...and then did the ombre-ish effect.  I now like it a wee bit better.  My hubs isn't so fond of it though.

Here's the colors I used in case you're wondering.  They are really old though so I doubt they are even made any more.

Spa'd

So, I'm back from my girlfriends spa & scrapbook vacation. Had the best time with my girl...which was SO needed since we hadn't all been together in really long time.  The spa was amazing!  It was a good time of laughing, relaxing, healing, and bonding!  Oh, and we did a little scrapbooking too. {If your courious about the artsy side of my life, check me out at creativitE.}

At the spa one of the days I got a fabulous 80 minute facial.  It was great!!! And my skin feels amazing! She said that my skin was really good (do they say that to everyone???), which is unusual for me since it's on the dry side, especially when I'm in Vegas.  But I think that my vegan ways have helped my skin out.  Plus staying well hydrated has got to be helping out as well.   I didn't really believe her that my skin was getting a good grade until it came to extraction time.  I usually HATE extractions...they are horrible.  But this time I could barely feel it and she didn't have much to extract.  Thankfully!!!  So no pain & more time for the good stuff!  Super awesome.  I was so happy that I had to take a pic to remember it...no judging on my lack of makeup and crazy hair.
