My favorite part of my job is polishing nails. I love love LOVE playing with color. I believe its the most exciting part about doing nails. =) I’ve been polishing nails since I was like 15. I can still remember it clearly…me having to go to my parents’ then nail shop every weekend, doing polish changes and building up my polishing skills by painting fake-nail-tips after fake-nail-tips. He would give me the hard colors to work with too, like Sation Corvette Red and Essie Fiji. Haha…Sation is such a ghetto brand. I hated going to the nail shop when I was younger. What kid wouldn’t? But now…I am very thankful for it. I’m proud of my manicurist skills. =)

When working with nail polish and loving it so much, it’s hard not to play with all colors by polishing my own nails. =P I pretty much have a different color on every week. I gotta have my nails looking good. =)

Nail polish of my week: OPI Laquer in Outback Aphrodisiac.
Unfortunately, the color is discontinued. =( I’m gonna have to search supply store after supply store for the color. I wanna buy it for myself. It’s like a fuschia-ish plum. Great transitional color for winter-going-on-spring time. I love it!

I was reading in a magazine about skin disorders. I found out that the bumps on certain parts of my body is called Keratosis Pilaris. I don’t feel like defining it so, you can google it. =) So, in the magazine and a couple of websites recommended using Dermadoctor KP Duty Moisturizer and the Scrub

I really hope these work for me. I’ve had KP all my life, and tired of looking at my skin like that. It’s really not a big deal, but it would be nice to have smooth skin. I’ll check in about this after a week or two. =)

 Man, this morning I was rushing to work, and I got my first speeding ticket!!! Errr. Kinda funny too. It’s not really a big deal, just its my first speeding ticket. Thought I could go through my young years without one. Haha. So I gotta pay 130 for it. I am thankful that the Officer didn’t rewrite me up for the actual speed I was going. He noticed I had a good record and thought it would be nice to just write me for going 5 over. I was on a 35 mph lane going 57. haha. I almost cried because I already have enough stuff to deal with. I really should sign up for the Iamsensitive website. haha. =P Just kidding..I will not low myself to that.

I started working out again and it feels good. This time I’m making goals that are still tough, but still reachable. I really am determined this time. If I can discipline myself to wake up on time for work, then I can do this. That used to be a huge problem for me. I used to set myself up for failure by making crazy goals like lose thirty pounds in a month. Not healthy. And when I noticed I didn’t reach that goal weight at the end of the month, I get disappointed. Not this time. I want to join a gym, but not sure sure. I really wanna join Lifetime, but its so expensive. I really just wanna go to use the treadmill.

I’m really trying to talk to myself more positively. Was very insecure. But I found out the hard way that no one wants to be around someone who is always degrading theirself and doing nothing to fix it. Shoo…I didn’t even want to hang out with myself. Didn’t like looking in the mirror. In my mind, I would be like, “Eww girl…your stomach is soo fat which makes you ugly.” I know that would never be a nice thing to say to someone else, so why say it to myself? My attitude is totally getting a makeover. =) And I’m feeling great about it.

I really want to better myself and I will. =)
