Feeling stresses or just want to pamper yourself. Get an M&P. I did not apply nail polish to my nails until about 10 years ago. Somehow with my hands and feet seemed like the last thing in the world I thought about. In the past 4 years (when the last child went to college) I have gone weekly. Nails weekly and toes once a month especially in the summer. I feel this 1/2 hour a week is needed therapy. I have gotten to know my manicurist very well and we share stories about our children, families and mutual friends. People talk about "ME" time and this truly is me time. I walk the 1/2 mile to the salon and usually walk around my little community after the manicure to dry the nails. I stop in the local shops to look around and talk to the shop owners and clerks. Rarely do I use my car to get to an appointment. You see it is a time to do something for myself and meditate a little while I enjoy the outdoors. When my daughter would call me from college all stressed out often my comment was "It sounds like time for an M&M." How can one not relax while having the hands and feet rubbed and having a sinful color of polish applied. It is cheaper than psychotherapy!
