Lately, I’ve been learning to slow down and really give myself permission to rest, even in small, simple ways. After two straight months of keeping up with regular nail appointments, I decided it was time to let my nails—and myself—breathe for a while. This time, I went with GEL BIAB (Builder in a Bottle), a strengthening treatment that helps my natural nails grow healthier and stronger. I picked a deep red shade that feels classic yet grounding, almost like a quiet reminder of my own strength. It may seem like a small thing, but for me, this has become a little act of self-care. With all the deadlines, side hustles, and never-ending to-do lists, it’s so easy to forget to check in with myself. Taking this moment to pause felt like hitting a reset button—not just for my nails, but for my mind, too. It reminded me that caring for myself isn’t always about doing more; sometimes, it’s about slowing down, taking a breath, and finding calm in the simplest of rituals. #Selfcarae #Mentalwellbeing #MindMatters
