Agree with kate. I always sit at least 15 minutes and then usually don’t have a problem! A buff would also look great and give you an extra shine! I’d definitely go for clean looking nails/cuticles and shine.
The husband likes pedicures and gets his toes buffed and LOVES it.
I’m usually a regular polish person and then do the gel for vacation too. I did it before Christmas since I was going home for a week. I’m getting it off this weekend and getting a regular polish.
I’m not a DIY kind of girl, unfortunately. I get frustrated easily if I make one mistake, so I’d prefer to pay for someone to do it for me.
This is what I usually get the first time I dine with new people… “Wow, you eat a lot for such a little person, where do you put it all?” My go to retort is to shrug and look sheepish and say “I’m blessed with high metabolism.” Probably pisses them off, but what am I supposed to say? It’s true. I do eat a lot but I’m not an exerciser. But I do eat really well during the week and when at home. Lots of vegetable dishes. Some chicken or pork. Lots of homemade, broth-based soups. I indulge when I go out. I also walk a lot. The most I’ve fluctuated since college is 5 lbs.
Speaking of, the husband is traveling next week for work. I just planned out my meals for the weeks. Next week is a reset week after the holiday’s. I ate/drank more dairy than I care to admit.
@alafair….
I’m still meeting some of the husband’s friends. It’s crazy! He was groomsmen in a wedding last year to someone I had never met! He just doesn’t see them often. Actually, if you go back and read the this forum post from the beginning, I posted about a freak out I had when the husband and I were about six months in. He had met most of my friend’s and family and even traveled to my hometown. I had only briefly met his mom and aunt for lunch one day. We had a big discussion about it and within two weeks, he was setting things up so I could meet more people. So, what I originally mistook for a lack of interest was truly circumstance.
So, if this is important to you, I’d say something. Talk about it.
Seriously, why did you write in? Did you want people to agree with you about how awful your SIL is? Well, we don’t. Nobody here thinks your SIL is awful for giving your daughter an off-brand gift. And this “fake gift” thing is simply gross. It’s not a fake gift. It’s a real gift. It’s not cute or enlightened to run around telling everyone you received a fake gift. Every gift is real despite the monetary value or brand. It’s your job to teach your daughter that.
Your entire post and each update is disturbing. Please teach your daughter to be better than that. This world doesn’t need anymore materialistic assholes.
EDT: If she’s smart enough to read/comprehend above level, she’s smart enough to understand that she didn’t receive a fake gift in the real sense of gifting.
Also, everything @ele4phant said.
We get free drinks or discounts at our local watering hole from both the manager and the bartenders. We tip them appropriately, meaning what our bill would have cost without the comp + more, each trip. I mean, it’s a pretty common practice for regulars at most places in my area. Or sometimes not even regulars.
It’s good for business because you’re more likely to go back and you’re more likely to suggest the bar/restaurant to friends. And yes, I’m smart enough not to tell friends to go there and you’ll get something for free. I leave it to the discretion of the bartender/manager.
