Ok, there are two nice things about the freezing cold weather. I really like that all the bugs are dead. One of the best things about winter, for sure! But, in an effort to be a better sport about going out into that bitter, windy weather, I did something fun!!
Some of you know this already, but I’ve been getting my nails done recently. While its pretty and pampering and a fun beauty thing, it is SAVING my hands! When my nails are done, I don’t (can’t) bite them, and I tend to leave the skin around them alone as well. I am a nail biter, and especially with such high anxiety, it was getting out of control. So we bite the financial bullet for me to be able to use my hands without searing pain shooting down my fingers.
I went to get them filled yesterday and my nail girl suggested color changing polish. I admit that my mind went straight to nail polishes from childhood that were apparently “mood” polished but, at least on me, stayed a pretty ugly color most of the time. But upon actually playing with the colors and dipping the examples into warm water, I decided on a beautiful heat changing color! We went from my suuuper grown out clunky nails these beauties!!
When I go out in the cold, they turn that beautiful dusty blue, which is close to the color I had in my head when I was planning ahead anyway, and when I come inside and warm up, they turn that super pretty lilac purple! I love both colors, but my favorite is the color they turn as they’re switching! As I am loading kids into the van, or just starting to warm up inside, they get this awesome periwinkle ombre effect, and I just LOVE them!! Seriously, I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out! And especially this time around, they’re so nice and thin and pretty! They’re shaped perfectly. And best of all, my hands don’t hurt. They are doing their job helping me curb my nervous habits, and I’m so grateful to be able to make it happen!!
While I love that blue color that comes with the cold, I’m VERY happy to be tucked in my bed (while all three of my kids at home are sleeping) nice and warm. I may have even heated them up a bit extra by eating soup. While in bed. Yes, I was asking for it, but all was well 😉 I hope you’re all having as relaxing as afternoon as I am!!
