Spare time

One of the things I promised myself in 2014 was to have more fun. While I hope this year has an exciting adventure or two, part of having fun is a desire to relax and just enjoy what I have right now... whether that is reading, organizing my home, spending time with friends, or clearing my head. 

One of my friends started selling jamberry nails this year, and praised them. While it reeks of frivolousness I thought it would be fun to try it out. Decorated nails is something I've never done before- but I want to be that person!  I ordered four sets, including one for my girl. 

I tried out the mint colored chevron last night. It was a little time consuming my first try, figuring out sizes, getting all my manicure tools in the same place, learning how to handle them... But it was also really easy. Each kit covers at least 2 applications for both your toes and hands, and can last on your fingers for about 2 weeks. At $16 per sheet, getting me 2 "manicures" and 2 "pedicures" applications each sheet, they suddenly don't seem so frivolous anymore.

Overall I really like them. They feel a little like window clings that you decorate with at Easter, which I'm still not used to. I'm waiting to see if they are as durable as they claim to be (and if I correctly applied them!)
