When the going gets tough, get a manicure!

Well this has definitely turned into a busy week for me! The past few days I haven't even been able to get into the Christmas spirit as I have been trying to finish up a project at work before I make the trek to Florida. Thankfully, I got a much needed break at lunch as I took my coworker, Meredith, to get our nails done in honor of her birthday.

While sitting at the nail station, the cutest little girl and her mother came into the salon. She was four years old and completely adorable in her red Christmas dress, sparkly gold ballet flats, sparkly gold headband with a bow and, of course, a cheetah fur coat. This little fashionista sat down next to me and we had quite the conversation. She informed me that her mother was taking her to see the Nutcracker Ballet in downtown San Diego this evening and obviously needed to get gold sparkly nails to match her festive accessories. Well duh! But seriously, she was very well mannered and was remarkable at keeping a conversation going for someone that age.

Following her lead, I decided to step up the festive-ness of my nails and opted to get snowflakes embellished with crystals added to my cherry red nails. It feels good to be four again!
