Between Friends Esthetics

Things are changing in the New year. I have decided to spend more time with my dogs and other animals. I am opening a doggy daycare. I will be available for esthetics only on Mondays and Fridays.
Merry Christmas and Happy new year to you all😁

Heading into week 2 of shut down! I really hope this one is shorter than the first one!!

Honoring Everyday Life
Use the good china everyday, as today is all that matters.

We all know someone who keeps plastic covers on his or her couch in order to protect it. The irony is that many of these people may live their lives without ever having actually made contact with their own furniture! This is a poignant and somewhat humorous example of the human tendency to try to save things for special occasions, as if everyday life weren't special enough to warrant the use of nice things. Many of us have had the experience of never wearing a particular piece of clothing in order to keep it nice, only to have it go out of style in the meanwhile.

It's interesting to think of what it would mean to us if we let ourselves wear our nicest clothes and eat off the good china on a daily basis. We might be sending ourselves the message that every day we are alive is a special day and a cause for celebration, and that we are worth it. There is something uplifting about treating ourselves to the finest of what we have. It is as if we rise to the occasion when we wear our best clothes and set the table beautifully, as if for a very special guest. We are more mindful of where we place things, what we are eating, and who is with us. Using the good china, eating in the dining room, and taking the plastic off the sofa might be an invitation to be more conscious of the beauty and grace inherent in our everyday lives.

If there are things you've stashed away for a special occasion -- a bottle of special wine, a gorgeous pair of shoes, an antique lace tablecloth -- consider taking them out of their hiding places and putting them to use tonight, just because you are alive now to enjoy them, and that's a great cause for a celebration.

Happy New Year to all of my clients that have supported me over the years and continue to make me successful. Thank you.

All my OPI nail laquer lovers, it is on sale at Giant Tiger!! It is cheaper than wholesale. Not sure what the selection is like, but the price is definitely right! $4.97😃
