NAILS | Spring Flowers with REAL Flowers! #CBBxManiMonday

Purchased by me about a million years ago

As I write this, I am battling a sore throat and slight ear ache and have had to take a sick day as I don't want anyone else sick and I have a busy week coming up! Before COVID, I think MANY of us would work through a cold, flu or any of those "pre-cold" symptoms, but now I would rather have staff stay home if they feel even the slightest bit sick since we are such a small team and even having two people gone can be stressful. I am hoping to be somewhat better by Monday and so far, I have gargled with saltwater, drank 4 mugs of lemon ginger tea with honey and unfortunately have had to check my email a few times as I had appointments today that I obviously couldn't make! I feel a nap coming on though!

I really did have these nails done for #CBBxManiMonday, but I haven't been feeling too motivated to be on the blog or social media these last few days as my day job has taken precedence this week. I have been devoting my time to clients which at the end of the day has left me with little energy to be anything other than a slug on the couch. I have even gone to bed before midnight which is unheard of for me as a night owl! I also was not feeling very good on Tuesday night and during the day on Wednesday so I figured I would lie low and get back on here when I felt more up to it. I have a day off today so I am slowly doing some of the blog-related things that have been put on hold this week starting with today's nail post!

NAILS | Obligatory Spring Flowers #CBBxManiMonday

I actually did this manicure EARLY for once. Friday night to be exact which has not happened in forever! I'm always doing them Sunday night at 11:30pm so having an actual scheduled post is really something! I've never been that organized when it comes to hunkering down and getting posts done in advance because if I don't feel like writing about something at that exact moment I find I get writer's block or I have a hard time stringing together actual words. What I tend to do is write a week's worth of post ideas in my Bujo and complete whatever I feel like writing about first. It's very haphazard and is probably why I could never commit to blogging/freelance writing full-time. My writing is very emotionally motivated and right now I am very happy to be chatting about this manicure and new polish from Essie I've just tried!
