I should learn how to clip my nails + struggling to stay chichi

About to get a pedicure

Darn. My fingernails are growing too fast. I want to beg them to stop growing because otherwise, I would have to squeeze in a manicure appointment to my ever-busy schedule. But lack of time, however, should be the least of my concerns. You'll know in a while, and it is a sad reality.

Just to give you a brief backgrounder, I don't cut clip my own nails. I don't know, but ever since I was young, I'd have a manicurist clip them for me. There were times that I'd rather endure the sight of long, ill-shaped nails than have myself clip them.

However, sometime in the last month, I had to, and I sincerely wish I never had to, clip my own nails, since I can't spare five hundred to get a mani-pedi. The result was a total disaster! To say it was beyond imagination would be an understatement! 

***That was how poor I was - I had to clip my own nails. (insert sad face with puffy dog eyes)

Good thing, my mother sent me extra cash last week; perhaps harvest was good in the province, so I was able to get a mani-pedi. FINALLY!

For my manicure, I'd usually go to

Nailaholics. I love everything about that nail salon. Not to mention that my friend Chuck (or his sibling owns it. But friendship aside, Nailaholics is arguably the best nail salon spa in the metro. They have branches in almost every shopping. You may check it here.

I love the ambiance inside a Nailaholics spa. It feels quite homey. Most of the time, I'd simply doze off in one of their couches.

When I don't have time to go to the nearby mall, I'd go to my neighborhood nail spa, The Nail Fairy. I known the name is a bit campy, but I don't really mind. Har! 

They're located in Speaker Perez, near Starbucks. The manicurists there are very friendly, not to mention that service is relatively cheaper by about a hundred or so.

Their interiors are not as grandiose as that of Nailaholics', but it is pretty decent considering that services are relatively cheaper. You can actually get a basic mani-pedi for only Php200!

Hopefully, I could afford to have regular visits to the nail spa. But I wouldn't bet much on that since weather had been inclement, and the price of copra is relatively lower. (I'll explain in later posts why I am quite concerned about the price of copra). Or maybe, I should get a regular job now.

I hope I could still stay chichi!
