December Daily Gratitude #15:
Today I am grateful for days of rest. I haven’t been feeling well the past few days. I’m not sure if it was something I ate, or if this is just another phase in my pregnancy. In any case I definitely need some rest and I am thankful that my husband, family and job allow me to take the rest that I really need.
Day #15: Gift of Nails for my Sister
This morning my mom and sister came over to visit. As one of my Christmas gifts to my sister, I try to do her nails every year. I recently watched a bunch of Christmas nail design tutorials on Light Elegance’s Facebook, and I was really excited and inspired to do some nails.
We decided to step out of our usual routine of painting her nails blue or green and went straight for Barbie pink. You can’t blame anyone for wanting change or trying something new after the year we’ve had.
I was a little bummed because within my huge stash of nail art pieces, I didn’t have any stars for a tree topper. The closest thing I had was a starfish, but then I decided that a mini sunrise shell would be a cuter. I loved how it turned out! I made a tiny mistake when making the sweater nail (not curing a top coat first), but it worked out fine. I can’t wait to try this sweater technique again!
And here’s my baby who didn’t want to go to bed tonight. She rolled around and played in the dark for almost 2 hours.. It’s soooo time for me to go to bed too.
