Howdy! This past Tuesday was the freaking best. In between shifts I got to have ALL of the girl time with my adorable mom. We started our day at Elysian Nails for a fill for me and a mani for her. Then, we enjoyed a spot of shopping at TJMaxx. I got the cutest new top and I can’t wait to show you all! My mom doesn’t get her nails done often but when she does, I always have to joke that she gets the same shade of pale pink or beige every single time. I mean, if it’s not broken don’t fix it lol. The joke is on me, though, because pale pink is where it’s at and I just had to take a note from my mom’s book to welcome pastel shades for spring. Check it out:

Although I typically live in All Black Everything, I loves me a pastel color. However, they wash me out badly so I have zero pastel hued clothing in my wardrobe. That’s okay, though, because I can rock them on my nails! As I consulted the trusty nail polish book, I immediately locked in on the pastel peach and knew I was going with that for sure. The next order of business was finding a color to compliment it. I wasn’t feeling any of the lavender shades which is too bad because that would be pretty too. So, pink it was, and I landed on the softest pastel ballet slipper pink. This combo was giving all things spring flowers, Easter candy, and Jordan almonds and they almost look good enough to eat! 😀

It was SO nice to get pampered with my mom beside me at my happy place. Elysian Nails is one of my beauty sanctuaries and I live for when I can share in it with friends and family. As I gabbed with my nail tech, I couldn’t stop looking over at my mom’s station. She was getting primped with oils, lotion, and a hot towel and was loving every minute of it. Her tech did such an amazing job with the cuticles and shaping the nails that it almost looked like she got a fresh set. We both walked away completely thrilled with the results and our matching pale pink nails. I can’t wait for another trip to Elysian together and who knows – maybe I’ll get her to pick hot pink polish next. ❤

My Tuesday was the pick me up I needed after a super long but fun weekend. There’s nothing like some pampering and shopping with my favorite gal to put the pep back in my step!

What is your favorite form of self care? How often do you get your nails done? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah
