It's Been Awhile

It's been way too long since I have posted anything so here's what's going on my end. I have been insanely busy with the usual but have also had family emergencies as well. But lets start from where I left off.

        So the last thing I had posted I had finished school and I was waiting to take my written and practical. Well I am pleased to say that I took my written and practical and passed both!!! So I am now a licensed Manicurist for the State of Texas!! Exciting right?! I am so happy and proud of myself. Not only have I made a dream come true for myself but I am also showing my kids that you are never too old to go back school and it is the most important thing to follow your dreams and if you keep trying and don't give up they do come true.

        Unfortunately bad follows the good and I lost my beloved Grandmother before I was finished with school. Still very heart broken, but I know that she would be very proud of me. After I got home from dealing with everything with my Grandma I started looking for job. But I am so unfamiliar with El Paso that I got lost to several meet ups with salons.......I know I know I really gotta work on getting used to it here. As if that wasn't enough babysitters are unbelievably expensive here and I really don't want to dish out the $100+ to pay someone to watch my kids so I can work. So job hunting has been put on hold. 

        But if that wasn't enough I had gotten news my loving father had a heart attack, and 90% of his heart isn't working. I thought I had lost my Dad and immediately my husband requested to take leave so we could go down there and see him. (I love my husband so caring) And if that wasn't enough I got news yesterday that my aunt also had a heart attack (while she was in Hawaii on her vacation)and the bottom part of her heart isn't working and she is going to need a pacemaker.

So trying to get my mind off all the bad going on in my life and focus on the good so from now on to keep my skills fresh and give me something to do during the day I have come up with a schedule which will look something like this:

• Mani Monday- this will be for now mint color manicure I got this idea from an amazing ail art lady Robin Moses 
• Teal Mani Tuesday- This will just be a teal manicure 
• Wednesday Wellness- I have been trying to focus on taking better care of my body so I will share with you how to take care of your nails (this will be followed with links to any websites I get info from)
• Thursday Nail Art- I need mega amounts of practice on my nail art so I will be posting techniques that work for me and those for beginners and any nail art I create on my own.
• Friday 3D Nail Art- this is the hardest thing for me to do as a Nail Technician 3D nail art is not easy so I will share with you anything I find that should be easy for someone just starting out to do along with websites to get the best brushes what works best for me and anything else I find useful. :)

I know this going to be fun and it will defnitely give me something to do during the day. I will also share with you all anything my family and I do during the weekend or anything else fun and exciting going on in my life. Hopefully you all are having a fantastic day see you next Monday with Mint Mani to start with :)
