It seems as though this year has been our busiest yet at Off The Wall. In addition to our faux finishing business, we created our own line of custom made picture frames to the mix over two years ago. And with our biggest show coming up, it’s harder and harder to take the time for the little luxuries we women should treat ourselves to every now and then.
There are two things I don’t go without no matter what the day is filled with…
First, or I guess I should say last because this is a night time routine, I treat my cuticles to Sally Hansen’s Cuticle Oil. I’ve always had a hard time having long and healthy nails, but even more so now that my hands take a regular washing in paint thinner and brush cleaner. I started using this little bottle of oil a while ago, and it is truly the only thing that has ever made a difference!
Another vital part of my day…

Jaime, you’re too sweet:)
Fifi, I agree, it wasn’t hard to get us moving. A little difficult though to keep our bottoms in a seat to paint though!

I’m hooked on those fudge bars, too. I’ve been eating them all summer. Never tried that cuticle oil, but I’ll have to check it out! -Julia

I love a drop of castor oil which may be ingested… I find it at the health food store and I love fudge in any form! Little luxuries make life fun!
patricia 09.03.08 at 7:29 pm
Sorry, let me explain, the castor oil may be used on hands for smooth soft skin and cuticles.
