An Indulgence.. That Is Not Food...

I have a nail tech license... I love it. I love to do pedicures... It's funny to because I never liked anyone to touch my feet. Feet to me were gross and yucky and the idea of having my feet touched was horrid.
I am also not one for the indulgence of having a manicure or pedicure. I also found that indulgence a true indulgence. there is more I can do with my money than spend it on myself with something so ridiculous than myself. This is how I felt...sometimes, well most of the time I still do.

Anyway last year I went to school to become a licensed professional in the Nail business. It was great. In school believe it or not, you have to use your brain, so this was good for me because as stated in an earlier blog, using my brain at work is not something that I do to much...it's just not needed. So I learned all about fungus, anatomy, nail growth you know the entire gamut that goes along with the profession of toes and fillangies...

So I work at a hotel that is deemed five star/ five diamond by some companies that do a hotel survey...and would love to work in the spa there doing Pedi's and Mani's. I would love to be trained. I would love to 'engage with they guests' in the salon. How exciting, and how exciting for them to have an English speaking woman sitting across from them doing their nails that they could actually understand...incredible. No jobs available at the moment so we stay in retail...

BUT, so excitement....my private clients are great. Comfort of their own homes or girls parties or vacationers. Birthday parties for kids. I am telling you it is fun.

Some people even send me home with dinner. They want me to stay for lunch. They bake me cookies, tech me Italian. I become their sounding board, their masseur for their feet and legs. I make them feel pretty and take them away, out of the real world. Out of the humdrum life that they may lead and put them someplace else. I love it...I never thought that my days as a bartender would come in handy... (if you were ever a bartender than you would know just what I was talking about.)

I wanted to post a picture of one of my favorite clients....Gave her a Mani and Pedi one time and she was so excited she almost jumped out of her own skin to have hot pink nails and toes.

It was the most enjoyable client I have ever had.

If I could do her nails every day I would.. We had so much fun. I look forward to many more. I hope she does too....
