Last week I decided to buy some nail polish. I haven’t used any for the last decade, but decided it was high time that I fancy up my toe nails. At a certain age it becomes imperative to enjoy the little things in life, and that’s what I decided to do. Enjoy colourful nails, splash out and be girly once in a while…which, let me tell you, is so much fun.
Only girls can go out and display outrageous colours on their nails without looking odd, and only girls get to torture themselves in the name of beauty and not find it weird. A few days ago my husband expressed his disbelief at the things women do to themselves to look pretty (i.e. waxing, tweezing, dieting). All these things are such an integral part of our lives as women that we don’t even realise how incongruous it must look to the male species.

But then again, don’t we look fabulous? I guess the results do sometimes justify the pain in getting there.

So, this week it’s about celebrating the feminine side, the love of beauty and colour and life. I dare you to paint your nails (of course only if you’re a lady) and to let it remind you every day to enjoy each second and to make the most of every one.
