THE HER-STORY OF NAIL POLISH!!!
It's the last week of March and I can't let this month go by without a little celebration of Women and a little nail polish herstory lesson...
We have been pampering ourselves for a VERY long time and caring for our nails has been part of that process for just as long.
Here's an article I enjoyed reading from Nails Magazine (my favorite magazine of course!) that offers some facts about nail polish that you may not have known about before:

Enjoy!!!

The Furry, Hairy Nail Trend...
As a person, I try not to bash others and their style choices, but this, I can't let slide by.
A number of people have texted me pictures asking me what my thoughts are on this trend, and I have to say, NOT GOOD.
I don't know why its catching on but it is. There is a salon in Bergen County that is actually doing a version of this nail trend to many of its customers (more of a fuzzy nail trend.)
I can't see how you would cooks a meal, wash dishes or even bathe or how it can be hygenic to have furry or hairy nails. And I don't like the look of it at at all. I don't even like it when cotton gets stuck to my nails while removing glitter polish, so why would I like some hair on my nails?
You've seen the pictures...you decide!

Don't Let Dry Hands Bring You Down...
When I was younger, I never drank water and I HARDLY used lotion... NOT GOOD I KNOW!!!
But with age comes wisdom...
Its very important to stay hydrated during the winter months. And this winter has been a dozy- from -25 degrees to 52 degrees in one week.
Even though you aren't sweating as much as you would in the summer, that winter air is drying out your skin! Staying hydrated doesn't just mean drinking water. You have to seal that moisture in by using lotion, or even better, some type of body or hand butter, depending on how dry your skin is. My skin is often super dry so I opt for "butter."
I was blog surfing and came across Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream and Burt's Bees Almond and Milk Hand Cream.
The Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream is not at all oily and has a delicious citrus smell.
The Almond Milk Hand Cream is great. It's a little oily but a little goes a long way. After one use, my hands feel much less dry than than they did before I used it. And its Burt's Bees so its all natural which I love.
Remember ladies, you can have poppin' nails but if your hand are dry and rugged then, whats the point?
