I was feeling a little uninspired this morning. Actually really uninspired. I didn't get much sleep because of some major back pain so 8am was feeling more like 2pm. Everything was a struggle...washing my hair, getting dressed, getting my body on the bus. No fun at all.
As I was sitting quietly on the bus I looked down at my nails and started obsessing over the fact that I need a manicure. Like pronto. It's been 5 long days that I've been walking around without anything on my nails and that's a lifetime for me. I don't mind going nail naturale when I'm at the beach and my hands are all tan but now that I'm back in the cold city everything's starting to look a little nasty so the time has come to paint those babies and whip them back into shape. Nasty nails. See when I'm tired, cranky and in pain I tend to obsess over things to focus my mind on something. So as I walked by the nail salon on my way to work I vowed to make a mad dash back to the salon at lunch to get them taken care of. Goals help on days like today and I figured that might help perk me up a little.
And since I was feeling uninspired this morning, I had no idea what to post about. I hate days like that. Gloom, doom and nothing pretty. Put me back to bed. But then, much to my delight, I just happened upon this layout from the March 2010 issue of UK Harper's Bazaar. And things instantly started to turn around because:
a.) it features my favorite model of all time Yasmin le Bon (I was a huuuuge Duranie back in the day and she's been my idol since I was 12 years old).
b.) YLB is getting a manicure in the first pix so I thought GREAT! I have something to write about!!!
and c.) as I was looking at the rest of the photos I immediately started drooling over the gorgeous gems. Hello lover, come to mama! Instant delight!
Emeralds, sapphires, diamonds and OMG that multigem floral necklace!!!. I can't pick a fave, although if I haaad to I guess I'd lean towards the tanzanite and diamond dancer ring on her left hand in this photo...
or the white and black diamond choker or white and black pave diamond ring in this one...
Which one would you choose? Hard choice, right?
Ah and now I have something new to obsess about. Goals and obsessions will help me through this. It's gonna be a good day after all :)

I need a manicure something fierce -- my hands get messed up with chemicals and tools when I'm making jewelry so the cuticles HATE me. And pedicures -- winter is heck on me.
Great post!
Love that green ring. Love getting my nails done too.
Yasmin is gorgeous! I would take any of the above, of course, but that emerald ring is to-die-for. Love the diamond ring in the fourth picture as well.
Oh my, those gems are fabulous and so is Yasmin. I must post some of her editorials I have tucked away.

There's a lot of misunderstanding about what is going on with ObamaCare, and one of the things that I've noticed in discussions with clients, Just Keto vis that there's an underlying set of myths that people have picked up about health care reform that just aren't true. But because of all they've heard in the media, people believe these myths are actually true.
