Polished to Perfection!

To start off my blog I have a special shout out for my dad.  I received a text from him saying "hey I heard this old song tonight. I thought it would be cool for a fashionista like yourself. It's called puttin on the ritz..." (video attached below) I had a huge smile when I got this because that's one of my favorite songs, and when my dad heard it he thought of me :) I'm a farmers daughter who knows nothing about agriculture and he still loves me! I'm very lucky to have such a supportive family!  Ok now onto my post. I've been getting my nails done for as long as I can remember, an outing my mom and I have been doing since I was about six or so. I would compare myself to Elle Woods in terms of my deep love for manicures. Someone once told me that "its pathetic for a little girl to get her nails done," ahhh sorry honey but our values our vastly different. Getting manicures with my mother are some of my fondest memories, and why shouldn't they be? When your sad, frustrated, or anxious, a prescription for a mani-pedi is your perfect cure. Getting your nails done is one selfish act a women should never feel bad for. Some tips for picking your nail artist (yes they are artists!). If you're in a bigger town I always suggest going to the salon in the mall. Yes they tend to be more expensive but they are truly the best. I go to Lux Spa at West Acres and have never been disappointed, they are super quick too! About a month ago I started following Emma Roberts on Instagram because I like the fashion on the hit show American Horror Story, which she stars in. I saw a picture of her manicure (pictured below) and fell in love! In fact, two days later I went to salon and had them do the same thing for me. Now, please be selfish and go to the salon ;)
