Mixed e-Catch

Today, my 10am to 1pm routine was to tackle my toenails. I was gonna go to the salon for an easy and a hassle-free fix plus a good pampering for my feet, but I felt like I will be wasting $30 to do that. It’s just too much! I am only willing to pay for such amount when it is my birthday or when it is Mother’s Day. The last time I had my toenails done was over a month ago and because it was getting more uncomfortable already, I knew it is about time to do a toenails makeover.
 
And so I did. A self-service pedicure it was!

…and it is not bad! Lol.

I figured why not use all of this manicure set that I have? I can sacrifice hurting my neck, yes, but I have three hours to do it so it won’t be that sore! Lol. The husband and Ate Triz were watching over Tiara through it all anyway so it was a perfect me-time that I have taken advantage of.

I can’t do this to others so I am glad I know how to do it on myself. Thanks to my older sister who sent me her sharp nipper and pusher; they sure made the task a lot easier! Red it is, per Triz’s choice!

It’s one of those moments when I wish that I am just home in Philippines as going to a salon there is as affordable as having an ice cream treat here!

I received the Tasty Science and the Science Stadium and both were a hit to my First Grader who loves Science and all other courses. For being a satisfied Educational Toys Planet reviewer, I must say I am recommending their products to everyone, especially to every parent out there who wants their children to grow playing educational toys.

We phoned our Las Vegas family today and chatted with them for over an hour. It was great to hear that my parents-in-law are now feeling better. Both of them have been sick lately and have been to the ER for some changes needed with their medications. Now that we have talked to them, we learned that Pa-in-law has been up on his feet again, doing the usual yard work that he enjoys doing every day. He has mentioned that they need new pool bulbs to replace two bulbs that aren’t working anymore. I am thinking that this site I have just stumbled upon will be the right place where they could get discount pool parts including pool bulbs. Since March, their swimming pool has been used often so it is just right to have its lighting replaced.

As we chatted about the pool maintenance, Triz exclaimed how she misses the place now. She loves swimming there and did so every day when we took a vacation there around this time last year. We wish we could be there soon, but we don’t know yet if we can.
