Facial Mask
Based on Fleur De Force ‘s The Glam Guide acne and **dark spots :
Manicure
Then I treated myself to an at-home mani with the following gift sets:

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

I also wear gloves during hands-on activity
Massage
My good †Christian† friend and fellow prayer warrior, Lisa
Thank GOD for these special gifts of blessings and wonderful company!
