Practical Luxury for Women on the Go
by Josie on December 19, 2014
Being a full time mother, full time wife, dog owner, and having a full time job, my life is always on the go. Unfortunately there is only 24 hours in a day, so I’m always on a hunt to save an extra 5 or 10 minutes. Time is a luxury item for me and most working mothers can attest to that.
During my single life, I would get manicures on a weekly basis. My friends and I would book our appointments and while our nails were drying, that was our time to chitchat about our daily lives and catch up about dates that we had just gone on or the new pair of shoes we bought. If my nail smudges after leaving the salon, I wouldn’t hesitate to go back in and spend another 20 minutes to fix it. Now, that was a thing of the past.
I am lucky if I can book myself bi weekly manicures. That is why I get Shellac Manicures. The difference between Shellac Manicures and regular spa manicures is the fact that Shellac Manicures have zero dry time and lasts for two weeks. Those two factors are extremely important to me because as a working woman, I work 10 hour days and as a full time mom, I work another 14 hour day when I arrive home.
With my week consisting of 7 loads of laundry, 50 diaper changes, 6 home made dinners and managing 6 full service spas, I always know that my Shellac will never chip or smudge on me. Best of all I don’t have to sit and wait for my nails to dry. It may be a luxury item for some, but it’s a luxury item turned practical service that I can’t live without.
