Happy Friday! Yippee! So, today's post is going to be quick because I'm heading out in a few for a weekend getaway in Maine with two of my girlfriends!
I'll catch ya up on yesterday as there were a couple exciting things that occurred throughout my day!
This made my day.
As many of my friends know, my territory for work is primarily the Bronx. I'll say up front, the Bronx gets a bad wrap. Sure, there are some not so great sections (like everywhere!), but there are some wonderful areas as well. In my opinion, one thing that makes the Bronx very special is their abundance of nail salons. Every street has about 5 salons (2 of which are probably adjacent to each other!) and because there is so much competition, the pricing is VERY competitive. You can get a mani/pedi at most salons for 19.99 on any given day. I have been trying to be smarter about my spending (I will post my strategies in a later post), so I wrestled with paying the 45 dollars plus tip it would cost me to get my nails did in Jersey City. When I walked by this salon yesterday, I hopped right in. I'm happy I did because it was one of the best mani/pedis I have EVER had. Ladies, I know like me your favorite part of the pedi process is when they give your calves and feet a nice rub down. I get angry when they skimp on the massage portion of the program. Well, let me say they rubbed my legs FOREVER! It was awesome. Question: To ensure the pedi person knows how much I love the massage I usually drop my magazine and close my eyes so that they see I like it and keep going. Does anyone else do this? hahaha. Hey-maybe the cheese stands alone, but I've found the tactic to get me a few extra minutes!
Check out the chairs. Only in the boogie down Bronx would you see mani chairs covered in cheetah print! Fabulous.
Lunch: Salmon wrap (salmon from dinner the night before!) on spelt and sprouted grain tortilla with power greens and fancy champagne mustard. Delish. I also had some sliced (and salted!) veggies on the side.
Then this happened...couldn't get through the day without my fresh "green" juice. This one had all green veggies, beets, heirloom tomato, and a shot of flaxseed oil. Darn good.
Random gifts from one of my customers! Hahahahah. Check out that pink diamond! I told PJ he was out of luck as I had unfortunately already been spoken for :) I think these gift were perhaps originally for the individual's granddaughter. It gave me a good giggle for sure. **NOTE** Check out that manicure. Did I mention I only paid 20 bucks for a mani/pedi?!
Random: I knit (I more knit just long strips aka scarves) and this cute little spot just opened up at the end of my block! Awesome!
Last night I took a phenomenal yoga class, enjoyed a little sushi with my man, and hit the hay.
As I write this post, I am following the news of the shooting that just occurred at the Empire State Building. My heart goes out to those wounded/killed and I am thankful my city friends are safe and sound.
