I haven't been here in awhile due to Dr appointments, being sick and just life in general. For the last couple a week's I have been getting a push in life, I guess you could say it's from the universe. My bestie and I were hanging out and decided that the following weekend we would go to the shadow nightclub. She wanted me to do her nails and I told her that I haven't done any acrylics yet but if she got her fill in I would do her design. She loved her nails, the accent design was a hit. We went out to the shadow had a wonderful time and just this past Saturday she hit me up for an appointment to redo her design. She was so pleased that she gave me a $25.00 Amazon gift card. I redid her design and I'm quite sure she will be back for another one because she loved this one too!!!.
I used the gift card to buy myself a nail drill for acrylics and gel nails. If it wasn't for the nail tech I had refusing to do a certain design I wanted I wouldn't have turned to YouTube. Once I did get there (youtube) and typed in "acrylic nails" I saw so many videos with so many ladies doing their own nails at home I felt stupid for going to the salon all this time.
I wanted to do my own nails to save money for myself, I never thought I would be doing anyone else's nails. I did tell her that I wanted to do acrylics on myself first before anyone else and when I got the science down then I would do hers. I have to shout out all the ladies I am subbed to on YouTube....especially vianneylu1 she makes it look effortless and I know no one is perfect, watching her and all you ladies gave me the confidence I needed to give this a try and I'm glad I did because now I'm being helped I guess by "the universe"
I also have something else going on I started using a Rainbow Loom with the bpa free rubber bands. I found them on YouTube as well and started doing designs just for fun (gotta mention vianneylu1 here as well because she was the first one I saw with the loom), I threw a few pics on my Facebook page and two people I know want me to make 2 apiece for them and they are willing to pay....now I'm starting to ask myself some serious questions, maybe going back to school to be an accountant isn't what I should be doing. Seems as though I am being "directed" onto a different path (that universe again lol).
I bought a kitchen aid stand mixer some time ago because I wanted to sell cookies, I became afraid that people would not buy them and that went off to the wayside for a minute however it's back now because I'm starting to look at this whole world through different eyes. I'm turning 50 next year and certain things are falling into place. I also found a school where I can go for nails and catering it's just I would have to go for each thing one at a time so I'm going for nails first then catering. I do believe it's time to break out the sugar cookie recipe and get to baking again...I can make friendship bracelets in between.
I'm going to do my best not to spread myself too thin at all but I'm so excited because my confidence level is on the upswing~life is groovey right now and when you live with lupus that's more than you could ever ask for.
