Dissertation Defense * Dr. Dispo * BiG Day: December 8 ~ Save the Date!
After I passed my presentation with full faculty on Veterans’ Day, I followed my Bestie Evie‘s advice:
Take a Me QT Day.
While I still worked on revising my paper, I also set aside Spa Time this past weekend!
Facial Mask
Based on Fleur De Force‘s The Glam Guide, I used these ingredients for *acne and **dark spots:
Manicure
Then I treated myself to an at-home mani with the following gift sets:
and polished my finger nails with my own lacquers:
O•P•I Got the Blues for Red & Sally Hansen 18K Gold Hardener + Revlon Orchid & Silver Screen + Sally Hansen i ♥ Nail Art Striper in black
My top tip to achieving a lasting nail paint job:
Run freshly coated nails in cold water and dodge hot water!
- Cold water seals in moisture, while hot water repels and drys it out
- If I hand wash dishes, I wear special gloves
- I also wear gloves during hands-on activity
Massage
My good †Christian† friend and fellow prayer warrior, Lisa, came through again, introducing me
Thank GOD for these special gifts of blessings and wonderful company!
