Skincare tips for your workouts
A random assortment of things currently in my makeup case.
Which I’ll have on on a typical day, except for when I’m running (in that case, it’s just sunscreen and lip balm for me — oh, and some fancy manicure, especially when running a race!).
To learn how to tend to your skin when it comes to exercising, check out my post Clear Skin Tips for Fitness Fanatics on The Kit where I chat with dermatologist Sandy Skotnicki.
The Weekly Nail Report
Nail-job craving: Something summery and beachy. Nope, I’m not going on vacation, but I sure do wish I were.
How I satisfied that craving: A Shellac manicure in Tropix (one of my fave Shellac shades — yes, I’ve already had this nail colour before).
How this nail colour make me feel: With a mojito in hand, I could maybe, just maybe, fool myself into believing I’m lying on a chaise longue by the ocean.
Love it or hate it: Love. Except for when people compliment me on it, and then ask if I’m going away and I come crashing back to reality that nope, I’m here in the cold for the long run (and soon heading to even colder Montreal, brrrrrrrr!).
The Weekly Nail Report
Nail-job craving: Glitzy and celebratory.
How I satisfied that craving: Two coats of Nicole by OPI in My Sleigh’s in the Shop.
How this nail colour make me feel: Today’s apparently Blue Monday, aka the most depressing day of the year. But I wouldn’t know it, as my nails fill me with joy. In fact, my sister caught me examining every nail (“Pretty! Pretty! Pretty!” she guessed was going through my head – which it was) before I gazed at both hands with much satisfaction.
Love it or hate it: Love. It’s magenta (a fave colour!) and glittery (which I love right now!). “It’s very cupcake!” said one friend. Indeed.
The Weekly Nail Report — the blog’s birthday edition
Nail-job craving: Something festive — Health & Swellness turned two years old this week!
How I satisfied that craving: Two coats of Nicole by OPI in Disco Dolls followed by two coats of Rainbow in the S-Kylie (also from Nicole by OPI).
How this nail colour make me feel: Wowzers. I feel pretty bling-ed out — the pic above doesn’t do justice to the level of shine and glittery-ness coming off of my fingertips. My nails are practically bejewelled.
Love it or hate it: Like. I realize that there is such a thing as too much glitter :)
