Happy Friday! After three weeks of my coral colored gel nail polish, it was time to take it off, so switched to a totally different color: Essie’s “Mint Candy Apple”. (I first tried this color back in October, and was eager to get it on my nails again!).
(just a touch of glitter on my ring finger!)
Lighting- Outdoors but shaded
The polish is a little on the more liquid-y side, and there were a few little spots where two coats didn’t seem to cover the nail well, but overall two coats was definitely enough. It’s such a pretty color! One day I may get to the point where I can get all the polish on my nails without getting it on the skin around my nails… today is not that day :/
Throwback Post: 5 years a counselor (Wednesday I crossed the 6 year mark, and I echo these sentiments that I posted last year!).
Here are some random facts from this week:
1. For 4 or 5 years in a row growing up, I chose to have fires for my birthday in the evenings- I love them. So, I look for every opportunity I can to enjoy one, and I’ve been in luck because the last two weekends I’ve gotten to! I’ve made smores with friends as we laughed around the fire, and I’ve loved it!
2. When I worked at the nuun booth at the Indy Mini expo, I snagged my first container of Nuun Energy (I got the cherry limeade flavor!), and was eager to try it out. Last Friday I was out way too late with friends, so when I got up to run on Saturday morning, I was struggling a bit to wake up. I thought it was the perfect time to try Nuun energy, and I loved it! It kept me going through my warm up and run, and it tasted delicious!
3. I added a new tab under the header of my blog called “little delights” (I didn’t necessarily know what to call it). There are two sub pages here- one for nail polish, and one for book reviews. If you’re interested in either of these two areas, make sure to check them out!
4. As I mentioned above, this week I celebrated my “6 years being a counselor” anniversary. I laugh every time I remember that first session that I had. I forgot my name and what I was going to school for, and I remember thinking well… this is not how I planned this out… Needless to say I have no problems remembering my name when I meet new clients now, and I absolutely love being a counselor. I love being a counselor more and more every year, which is surprising to me since I already loved it before I graduated from grad school!
5. I’m starting to think about putting my road tire back on my bike so I can head outdoors, and while I’m excited about that, I’m a little sad to lose the ability to read and watch TV as I bike. The bigger issue, though, is this: I have almost fallen off my bike trainer twice this winter (how this has happened is absolutely beyond me!), which makes me nervous to head out on the road!
6. I had a crazy run in with a bird this past weekend. If you missed the story, click here to check it out!
Now it’s your turn to share! How many years have you done the job that you are currently doing? What’s one random fact from your week?
I will be finishing up year number 11 of teaching in 3 weeks.
And that is my favorite Nuun flavor!
Wow- that’s a good chunk of time. Congrats! I loved the flavor. Have you ever done anything fancy to make it into a different drink?
