My First Manicure

For Trevian's birthday one thing she really wanted was to get a manicure. She's been asking for months for a manicure and we decided birthday month was the perfect time to do it. So off we went...two gals off to get their first manicures! Yes, you read that right. I also had NEVER had a manicure. Trevian was quite amused at the fact that her "old" mom had never had a manicure.

I'm pretty sure the woman doing my manicure thought I was a complete idiot--I certainly wasn't in the "know" of how things were done. But she tolerated me while everyone else gathered around the cutie next to me who was eating up all the attention and pampering. Of course, once she saw the pedicure chairs with foot bath and massage, she was pretty sure she needed an upgrade. Sorry sweetie...maybe next year!


The finished result! I'd picked out a nice "Wow!" color for myself, but my friend suggested trying a french manicure. Once I was done Trevian looked at me like "what a waste Mom!" Trev spent the rest of the day admiring her fingers, complete with flowers and sparkly gems on her thumbs. I'm certain she is a diva at heart and would be happy to go for weekly manicures. Me, on the other hand??? I'm thinking I was blessed with pretty great nails of my own--I'm sticking with what I've got. However, I'd probably be on board with the pedicure for next year's birthday month. :)

Heather, definitely pedicures are the way to go! Once I had my first I was hooked. Way better than manicures! You better get it done!

Heather, you'll be happy to know that your are not alone. I've never had a manicure either. We are just not high maintenance women--that's why our husbands love us...along with all of our other great qualities of course!
