You can try out gel nails which are now becoming a hot favorite as they are natural looking even without nail tips and the best way for nail enhancement. Also, if you are allergic to those strong smelling chemicals which you can experience with acrylic nails, then you should use gel nails as these are odorless.<BR/><BR/>However, when you are planning on gel nail application, make sure you approach a nail salon or a nail artist who is well versed with gel nails and is properly trained and mastered in gel applications. This will save you from problems that can arise with improper gel nail applications.Gel-Nailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202717487426660707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8894166322205551970.post-32600911229382521072009-02-16T08:57:00.000-06:002009-02-16T08:57:00.000-06:00Oh, oh, oh!!!

I don't think that OPI makes "Lincoln Park after Midnight" anymore which is depressing.<BR/>To keep my life balanced, I definitely need excercise. Even if I pretend to jog/walk a couple miles, it at least clears my mind. I also think that you definitely need sleep.

And loved loved loved it.<BR/><BR/>About balance: It's been an issue for me, especially lately. I tend to be a stressball and a half. I've been trying to make it to the gym 3 times a week, mainly running, which I find helps me relieve stress, anxiety and whatnot.<BR/>Also, I've been trying to take a good look at what is making me feel unbalanced and stressy and then try to put things into perspective.Joeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07719077119112598963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8894166322205551970.post-67632817822521343092009-02-12T09:00:00.000-06:002009-02-12T09:00:00.000-06:00Hmm....come to think of it, I really should pamper...Hmm....come to think of it, I really should pamper myself more often.
