Nail It, Friday

Happy Friday!!! Happy Weekend!!! On Fridays, I stay on the surface, and I discuss stuff that I like. We have bodies for a reason, right? We like to enjoy the full use of our senses, correct? Life is about the experiences. And most experiences include all of the “stuff” outside of ourselves.

I found today’s favorite at my hair salon. My hairstylist is one of the most artistic people whom I have ever met. She just has it – that essence which we call “flair.” On my last appointment, she was wearing a sheer, iridescent toenail polish that looked so subtle and yet unusually eye catching, at the same time. I commented on how much I liked it, and she said that she has gotten so many compliments on it. “Would you believe that I got it at Sprouts?!” she laughed.

“Sprouts, as in the grocery store?!” I asked her.

“Yes, five bucks,” she said with a self-assured smile on her face. (when you have “flair” you can find panache at all different price points, and wear it with confidence)

She texted me the color, and I immediately ordered it from Amazon, since Sprouts is a little bit out of my way. The color looks pink in the bottle, but I promise you that it is sheer and sheen and shiny, on your nails. The brand is Mineral Fusion, and the color is Pink Fire Opal.

Are you passing on love or are you passing on pain? Heal your pain and pass on love.

Say Hey It’s Friday

10 Happy Friday Memes To Make You Glad That It's Friday

Hi friends!! TGIF!!! Fridays are devoted to what makes life fun here at Adulting – Second Half . On Fridays, I typically list three favorite things, or songs, or books, or movies, etc. and I kindly ask you to add your favorites to my Comments section. Aren’t we always looking for fun new ideas to make life a little more snazzy and “in-color”?! Yesterday, my husband and I were recuperating from our second Pfizer vaccine shots. Yesterday, my three favorite things were my bed, my ceiling fan, and Advil. But, I do feel incredibly grateful and relieved. I do believe that life is roaring back for all of us!

Here are today’s favorites:

Trader Joe’s Grapefruit Scented Candle – As you know, I recently shopped at a Trader Joe’s after a long hiatus. I’m a candle-aholic, so even though I have 500 scented candles, I just had to put the Grapefruit scented candle into my cart, because the sweet stock person told me that she can’t keep these candles in stock! And I completely understand why! It is incredible. It makes an entire room smell like a crisp, clean, reinvigorating grapefruit orchard. Frankly, it is so good, I was tempted to make a 45 minute trip to our “not so local” Trader Joe’s for another one.

The Sanctuary’s Holy Mist – If you need a boost after exercising or if you are feeling depleted and need to be recharged, buy this wonderful Palo Santo spray to help reset your “energy field”. It smells wonderful, it’s light and refreshing and it serves as a wonderful reminder that you can always press the “reset” button on any day that seems headed into the wrong direction. Holy Mist is a physical representation of “clearing the air.”

Michael Franti & Spearhead’s “Say Hey I Love You” – I LOVE Michael Franti’s music. This song is the perfect way to bring in the weekend. No matter what’s going on, make it your weekend plan to stay upbeat and enjoy! This is your precious life. Enjoy it!!
