I usually say Meditating is like the mental shower for the mind. And Yoga Bhajan's words make so much sense. Even on my second day of meditating, I feel off. I wasn't always like that but the more I changed my diet/lifestyle, the more in tune to the subtlies of shift that go in me. Not to say, one has super powers powers yet meditating is like using into a frequency, that biorhythm of life every morning before starting the day. Tap into YOU before electronics and the hustle takes you away from what is really important.

Nail therapy

I really enjoy doing my own nails and find it relaxing, or a nice treat in taking care of myself. While in university, I used to have "me time" every Friday night by taking a bath, doing my nails, reading a book (not school related) or what and stayed in. It was really relaxing, nurturing and even grounding. The "me time" basically tells me that I'm important too in this busy life and need the same amount of attention that which I give.

So with being in school again and trying to save money, I recently got the Gelish kit and UV lamp but wanted to experiment with using regular nail polish the Gelish system. And they do work HOWEVER you must have the nails dry before putting on the top coat of Gelish or else the nail polish will wrinkle. I also tried putting some nail art in of heart sprinkles. And they sealed in the "Gelish Sandwich" but again....it depends on the regular polish drying.

So if time is of the essence, but you still want to pampered yourself, use the Gelish nail polish. I love it! Your nails are 10x stronger and if your nails break off at a certain point like mine, you can grow them super long! I like having fun with nails art spribkles, stickers and konad stamps personally. The Gelish nail polish cures in 2mins under the UV lamp and is hard as a rock afterwards (you do need multiple coats as wells so a manicure takes 30mins or less. Then you can be on with life immediately. On the other hand, the regular nail polish will slow you down however....isn't that the point with having "me time" anyhow?   ;-)

Either way, have fun with taking care of yourself and not be so serious. The mistakes create opportunities for creativity.

You may be able to see some of the wrinkles (since the polish didn't dry completely)

In the end, it makes me smile =)
