Entering through the spa doors to polish my nails recently felt like a treasured treat to myself.
I choose my nail colour decisively and sat in the chair
I was offered.
As I lowered myself into the chair, I felt the tiredness of the day wash over me and I settled in for my toe pampering.
In that moment I wondered "Why do I even bother to polish my toenails at all?". I wear closed shoes for work five to six days a week, so it's not really for show.
The honest truth....
I like looking at my nails when they have been polished. I love the options of colour and I often bask in the sight of them.
It provides me with a moment of pure joy and happiness to see my toes happily dressed in these wonderful colours. A moment infused with sunshine for me.
I find sometimes I would slip one foot out of my shoe and glance at my toes and smile. Fascinated by the glow of smooth shiny colour.
This I do for me
For my personal enjoyment.
A secret pleasure... just for ME (wink).
