happy camper

Went for my regular manicure session with my mummy this evening. It's my mummy's virgin mani-pedi so we were pretty excited. Other than the initial 15 minute blackout in the shop the moment we entered, everything was good. She was so happy that finally all the dead skin on her feet are gone and now they're smooth n supple :)

She was pretty hesitant to try out any nail colours initially but with the persuasion from all the girls she tried out some light shades of pink. She was so scared to smudge her fingers after that so we had to help her with her things!

My manicure today is light shimmery pink french manicure. Love the colour but not very satisfied with this particular lady's job n miss my regular gal as she was off today. My nails were cut a tad too short n the french tip wasn't too straight. bah.

Anw i really love love love coming for mani-pedi sessions at this particular shop. Although it's a very small neighbourhood shop, the service and quality is ten times better than the big parlours i've been to. not to mention, much cheaper! I never fail to feel super pampered whenever i go for these sessions. Esp pedi!! Love how the feet are soaked and carefully scrubbed. And of cos the choosing of colours is always the biggest highlight for me. Never used to be a fan of mani-pedi but once i've tried it here i can't stop. My mum also declared that she loves it now! my cousin bought me a package as my present n i've used it up already. I signed for another ten sessions today, burnt a hole in my pocket :( But she gave me VIP price and made me swear not to tell anyone.. lol. it's reaaaally cheap! erm, at least compared to other shops la. it's still considered a monthly basis indulgence. must carefully utilise my ten sessions cos most likely i'll share them w my mum and as birthday presents to my girlfriends too so they won't be mine alone. bleh.

My good friend came to find me at the shop just now as she stays nearby. Had such a fun time chatting with her n my mum making girly talk. We booked another appt to come tog before the CNY! I've already kinda decided the colours i want for the next visit. Most prob light glitter pink for my fingers and opulence or glittery purple for the toes! The slots before CNY were very fully booked so our appt's quite a few days before cny :(

Really think that nail sessions make very good catch up sessions between girls n i really enjoy going there with my cousin or mummy or girl friends. Sometimes i chat w other customers too n they'll tell me about their husbands, work etc.

Anw i'm a happy camper tonight (partly cos it's lovely tuesday!) and even going to work tmr with a discussion with school leaders doesn't really put me off. will wait till tmr morning to drag my ass. goodnights world!
