Hola! 

So today I come to you all with a new nail post, as you guys may know, I love doing my nails so it's no surprise I'm so quickly updating a new look. I've decided to go natural and drop the acrylic nail look since the glue was crushing the health of my natural nails so in today's post I will talk about nail care and how I painted my nails these pretty colors! 

Nail Care Routine:

I used to always make the mistake of cutting my cuticles. I've always been obsessed with clean, nice looking nails and ever since I have a conscience I remember always cutting and filling the places around my nails where I had cuticles, and I just always remember getting more and more after every time. After a minor injury, I stopped cutting my cuticles off, and in a wonder, my cuticles have now gone down a little. In an attempt to save your eyes from looking at gross finger nails, I edited out the ugly cuticles I do still have from my picture. Don't mind that. So, back to the subject, I've always had memories of tearing the cuticles off, and since I stopped, my nails look a lot better. Lesson learned, NEVER CUT YOUR CUTICLES! 

A tip I have for all of you, cut your nails, and when you get to the filing stage, file your nails inwards towards the middle, never go on a straight line. The straight back and forth way makes your nails more fragile and a lot easier to break. File them only until you reach the desired height, and only the top. NEVER FILE THE WHOLE PART OF YOUR NAILS! You will erase two layers instantly and it'll make your nails fragile!! IF you must go through the top, take a nail buffer and buff with a soft side. They do a much better job!  

When you're done filing, take some cuticle oil and run it over your nails, this will help them grow stronger and a lot more beautifully. Also, the oil helps soften the skin that usually grows into cuticles and it kills them! 

So, after you've completed all those steps, wash your hands and come back, apply one layer of base coat or strengthener to your bare nail, and then carry on to apply your nail polish, and then use another layer of clear nail polish to strengthen the nail!

My song of the day:  

 

See you soon!
Much love,

Hi again, everyone! 

The days are fresh and my body too! So, I've been meaning to put my workout routine on here since I started, given that it's probably one of the most asked things by the people surrounding me, and those who follow me on my social networking sites. So, without further a due, let's get to the works! 

  

I've always been very fond of spirituality and calm, collected type of things. Recently, I discovered yoga and pilates in a small, temple-like house near my place, and I've fallen absolutely in love with it. After a very long time of doing strict regimens of intense swimming routines and gym hours, it resulted in psychical exhaustion, in which my skin developed allergies to all sorts of things, including excessive sweating... (which is absolutely terrible, because where I live, the humidity is terrible, and sweat is a characteristic in everyone *sad face*).  I'm usually accompanied by my best friend and her sister, both whom I adore and cherish. (Shoutout to my lovebug Claudia. ♡) They do the entire class with me, and we usually get a laugh or two out of the whole time.

So... - my trainer always asks us to free our feetsies from our shoes, socks, flip flops, etc; and leave them outside of the room as a sign of respect. We take our mats, lay them down on the floor and carry on to sit on our fun exercise balls, and then we are given a series of none-exhausting exercises in which we work core, arms, legs, and almost every muscle you can imagine. We use little weights that help us keep our balance and also work on our arms and abdominal muscles, which I find fabulous! After a long class of relaxing workouts, I think I can say I'm in oblivion for more than a few minutes. My entire body is relieved of stress and I would definitely recommend these activities for everyone looking for any type of relaxation. As I'm right about to start university, I can say this is helping in every way!!

After the long absence of psychical activities, I can say I feel renewed in every way whenever my bare feet touch that mat, and it's as if the worries and heaviness find themselves relieved of me for just an hour and a half.

And for today's song, I've been absolutely addicted to a beautiful song from Kodaline, that has helped me fall asleep every night for two weeks now. Enjoy this gorgeous melody, my loves! 

So at the end of the day, as usual, I hope you guys found this post helpful. Remember, be happy, be helpful, be grateful, and most of all, love yourselves!

With love and peace,

Pea.
