what a day.

okay so i pretty much was just told by one of my managers that they do not need me working here anymore... and the most hours they can give me is 8 a week. EIGHT!?!? thats right... two afternoons... four hours each... that isnt even worth driving down here for!!! so after quite a few tears i decided that i just need to kick this pedicure thing into high gear and find people who are really serious about pedicures, glitter (gel) toes, spa pedicures, and acrylic toes (i will explain those all later). i legally still cant "charge" people.. but i can work for 'tips'. so if anyone is interested PLEASE let me know! i need to find out if i can make enough money doing this that i will not have to get another job! i will come to your house or you can come to mine... day time works best for me... but if you can only do it at night we will work something out! so i'll kind of explain what everything is....
basic pedicure:
nail filing and shaping, foot exfoliation, massage, nail care and polish.

Spa Pedicure:
everything that goes with the basic pedicure, along with an extra massage and a foot masque or paraffin wax dip* (my favorite)

*a paraffin wax dip is when the foot is dipped 3-4 times in a special warmed wax that has moisturisers in it. the heat from the wax opens the pores and lets in the moisturisers. once the wax has cooled the wax slides off easily.
Glitter (gel) toes:

we did these at the what women want expo last year and they were a HUGE hit! what it is is layers of gel with glitter in between them, that are hardened under a uv lamp. they are awesome for winter because they do not rub off like regular polish when you wear shoes and socks, but they are thin enough that you can hardly tell that they are there. i can do them in any color you want! just let me know the color ahead of time and i will be sure and pick it up! they last about a month to a month and a half, before you are ready for a fill! that sure beats painting them once a week!

Acrylic toes:
think acrylic nails... but on your toes! but you dont need as many fills! i love them! they do stick out further than gel toes/natural toenails, but they are awesome for special events! the most popular is white... but i can do any color!
sandy also had the awesome idea of doing a 'pedicure party' her and some friends are going to get together and i am going to do all of their pedicures! how much fun is that!!?? to get together with your best friends and all get pedis and eat and visit!? let me know if you would be interested in something like that! i could even do a glitter toe party!
anyways.... just let me know! i would really appreciate it!

A Marriage Prayer

"Lord, help us to remember when we first met and the strong love that grew between us. To work that love into practical things so nothing can divide us. We ask for words both kind and loving and hearts always ready to ask forgiveness as well as to forgive. Dear Lord, we put our marriage into your hands."
