Weekend Pampering

Since I discovered the neighbourhood salon a couple of weeks ago, I had been wanting to go back with the girls. Anissa needed to have stuff done in preparation for prom and Sabine's bangs have been desperate for a trim. Last Sunday was the perfect time, plus Mama was in our house the whole day. 

I made an appointment for all of us and at 4pm we showed up and they got busy. I swear, this salon is a heavenly convenience for me. I can't believe it's taken me all this time to discover it, when it's a mere 10 minutes from where I've lived the past 17 years. 

This time, however, I opted to bring one of my own bottles of nail polish. From OPI's South Beach Collection, this is On Collins Avenue

It's a really bright orange-red shade, but more orange than red. I like it because it stands out without necessarily calling too much attention to my nails. I'm so glad I bought my own bottle. 

And that's how we girls spent our lazy Sunday afternoon without breaking the bank. 

P.S.

I miss having work done on my hair. I know, I know. Soon.

Pink Nails on a Slow Day

Since Sabine was home today, she naturally wanted to do stuff with me. At first, she wanted to be a teacher --- again. So I played along and answered one "quiz" and that was it. Too bad it didn't occur to me to take a photo of her. She always dresses up when she role plays. As a teacher, she was wearing a floral blazer, printed tee and tutu skirt plus my 5-inch Aldo nude stilettos. Haha. So cute!

After that, I thought of doing our nails next. I haven't tried using the OPI Pink of Hearts set that was given to me recently. This is OPI's Breast Cancer Awareness Collection for 2012. I first did Sabine's nails

I swear I didn't teach her to do this haha. It's monkey see, monkey do obviously!

Then it was my turn. I love how super easy it was to apply both. I needed just one coat of each. The colors are also very forgiving, you don't really need to clean up much after you apply them. I did my nails in the afternoon and my toes right before dinner time. :) 

Tadaaaaaa! Our mother-daughter Breast Cancer Awareness Month nails. 

Shiny, shimmery, splendid!!! How I wish Anissa had stayed at home, too. I'll do this with her this weekend. 

And speaking of splendid, my 6-year old Sabine always manages to look bonggabelles even when we're not going anywhere special. We decided to make a random visit to my SIL this afternoon and this is what she put together as outfit

So fasyon!

Taken in Serenitea where we made a quick stop for milk tea and their famous chicken chops.

It's almost the weekend, folks. Two more sleeps!
