I have spent a great deal of my life without nail jobs of any kind.

Now I do it as a treat once a month. I enjoy spending the time/$$ on myself, and having my hands, arms, feet and legs pampered. It was nice when I finally started doing these things for myself, and not because it would make or break how others viewed my femininity, but because it just felt good.

Oh girl I hear you! It is a nice treat... and I do love me some pedicures, which I gladly indulge in at least once a month.

I used to wear artificial nails for a long time... but the upkeep gets pretty damn expensive. Plus, I'm so hard on hands, so to me they never really stayed pretty for very long.

You enjoy every minute of your pampering... you deserve it
