Exercise Without Baggage



It’s happened to everyone at some point. You go out for a walk, jog or a bike ride and you encounter some sort of situation in which you need some flow. Perhaps for a cold Gatorade at the gas station; a smoothie from that smoothie place; or just a sit-down snack/coffee with your friend. It’s not totally surprising that someone who is on a walk or a bike ride wouldn’t have their wallet on them. Unless you opt to take a bag with you (how convenient is that?), you can pretty much only fit your keys (and - not really) into your leggings or shorts.
 
Someone out there found that situation annoying enough to invent a solution. It’s called the VITAband, a pre-paid VISA debit chip in a bracelet. You can use VITAband at any store that accepts Visa debit cards (Find places near you). Also, VITAband also functions as an ID and it stores emergency contact information as well as medical history incase of any accidents while you’re out and about. Coo’.

Nail Stickers from FabulousNails


A couple of weeks ago I got a special online deal for nail stickers from FabulousNails.com. I had actually been wanting to try nail stickers/wraps because I saw that one my best friends had put some on. She told me that it doesn't chip off and is not bad for your nails at all. I decided I wanted to try a solid color nail sticker. Get a long-term manicure along with a little bit of protection for my nails. Good deal. When I saw that there was an entire site that dedicated itself to nail stickers, and there was a deal running, I was sold!

I don't know where things went so wrong...

I got my two sets of nail stickers in the mail (I couldn't decide on just one color) and I decided to just put them on my toes first. I followed the instructions to get them on. Used a blow dryer to seal them on and everything. Ay, papa.

It was impossible to get those flat nail stickers on the natural curve of my nails. I looked like I had some sort of special rippling water texture nail polish on. I "sealed" them on with the blow dryer and repeatedly burned my poor little piggies. But they still wouldn't stick!! ::Clip, clip, clip:: I shaped around my nails perfectly with a pair of nail scissors and cuticle cutters. I decided I had done everything I could and it was time to get into bed.

I kept feeling slightly embarrassed every time i felt myself scratch my boyfriend with my toenails. He was not in the room when i was putting them on, nor did I even tell him I had ordered them...so he probably thought I had some crazy hang nail going on.

The next morning I went into work and kept looking down at my wrinkly-colored toe nails. Sigh. The big toe was the worst. While I was standing at the entrance of my coworkers office, she told me to come closer so she could see my toe nails. Fabulous(Nails)! They're calling attention with their "super cool" water texture. I immediately went to my desk and pealed off every one of those bitches at my desk.

Project Nail Wraps was a failure.

Has anyone out there flawlessly applied nail wraps before? If so, how!?!
