    So uh… cold enough for ya?

    by Carol, posted in Hands, Hands/Nails, Skin Care

    Seriously. Freezing right now. BRRR….. The heater is on but I’m wearing a thin long sleeve, turtleneck sweater, zipup sweater AND a puffy coat….. and I’m indoors??? Man, I miss me some Cali weather right now!

    I’ve been keeping this baby in my pocket and applying about 3x a day:

    I know that there are plenty of great hand creams out there, but L’occitane is probably still my favorite. This lil tube was only about $10 at Sephora (those freaking tempting little glass boxes full of inexpensive treats!) and it’s been totally worth it.  My hands SUCK right now.

    UV Nails

    by Carol, posted in Bridal, Hands, Hands/Nails, Salon Review

    I kept hearing about this “UV nail” process among brides so I thought I’d give it a shot myself! At first I though it was the same thing as a regular manicure because I remember sticking my nails through those UV drying machines in the end.

    BUT.. the UV nail process is completely different than a regular manicure! They have a different line of nail color polishes, so you can’t select the regular colors. Luckily, the salon I went to still uses the OPI brand for their UV nail colors!

    by Carol, posted in Hands/Nails, Salon Review

    I haven’t gotten a pedicure for… many, many months. It seems that New Yorkers wear boots all year round and your toes don’t get to ever be seen. BUT sometimes my toes just need a lil fix me up, ya know?
