Well, the insane amount of workload I've taken on this month has rendered me completely MIA from not just the blog but most other areas of my life. But quite honestly, few things make a well deserved and long overdue beauty day feel as guilt free and relaxing as the satisfaction of having beaten a deadline, coinciding with an amassing pile of unused gift certificates waiting to be consumed.
Loving the silver nails!
Until next time,
Agnes
loving the bracelets too! :)

Nails, jewelry....stylish, as usual but the most important of all...."earning" it with met deadlines and hard work well performed. Some think that you can up your morale with "things" but there's nothing like the feeling of gettting it all done, with quality on time. Nice work.

Feeling like that myself. I finally accomplished something that was years in the making and my brain has basically left my body and is dancing in an alternate universe.

Deadlines and gift certificates - didn't think it about before but those certificates have deadlines the retailers hope you don't meet.

Enjoy your day off :).

There is nothing like a reward after so much all-consuming work. I love a day of bliss and spending (especially spending other people's money/gift vouchers)! I have a few that I haven't spent. Still wondering what I absolutely need and don't want. This Buy Nothing New makes you think hard about what one consumes. Good for the soul.
And love those nails (and your bangles!)

Your nails look lovely! I've made an appointment for a mani/pedi soon and I've been thinking about the color choices. I think I am going to have to go with silver now. Your bracelet is beautiful and it sounds like your break is much deserved.

Yay Agnes! I hope your next post deals with the relaxing wonders of this day off! Enjoy :)
