A simple way you can keep your look fun and fresh is to change your nail polish color...often. I consider myself to be a "maid in waiting."
What am I waiting for?
The advice given to me by my BFF was to stay calm and keep my nails done in the meantime.
Such simple advice but it really does make a difference! It takes the focus off my ringless finger and on to my beautiful manicured nails.
After receiving that advice, I started to take time to get a weekly manicure. Yes, I spend money every week getting my nails done (which of course, is added to the budget). Not only do I enjoy the weekly change to my look, I enjoy the time spent at my favorite nail salon, Top Art Nail Salon, in Cherry Hill, NJ. For $13, I sit in a heated seat, enjoy a luxurious hand and arm massage and their signature neck and shoulder massage while my nails dry. They usually have the Food Network on the big screen tv and I spend that time zoning out watching mindless tv and chatting with the nail techs who I all know by name.
It's my weekly indulgence. My time to pamper myself and enjoy some downtime. I always leave feeling refreshed, relaxed and feeling like I need a nap.
In my quest to find a healthier less toxic nail polish, I stumbled across a subscription company called Julep. Each month they will send you two complimentary colors based on your color profile style wrapped up in a pretty little box. Not only are the colors amazing, the polish is non-toxic. In addition to your polish, you get another beauty product freebie and a cute inspirational card. I like to post my favorites on my vision board at my desk. These are the two colors I received in my December box based on my Maven Style, Classic with a Twist.
Cute, right?
One thing I love about this company is the C-level team are WOMEN. Jane Park, is the owner and CEO and Kate MacDonald is the Chief Experience Officer and COO (I want that title one day!)
Besides having beautiful packaging and an awesome brand, I love the mission and the core values of the company. It's not just about nail polish. Check out some of their core values:
- We practice gratitude
- We find joy in being scrappy
Who wouldn't want to support a forward thinking company like this?
So yes, you can see, I'm a big fan of Julep and I think you should be as well.
See what Julep has to offer!
It's important to take care of yourself and practice what we health coaches call "self care." If you're not taking care of yourself, it's hard to take care of all the other areas in your life.
It doesn't take much. Find a nail salon or a product you love and enjoy it.
