The Azure cure

I have been trying to elude falling sick for a few days now. I stayed positive, telling myself the sneezing fits wouldn’t grow into anything more. Yeah, I was wrong. I woke up at 7 AM yesterday morning with this huge lump in my throat that forced me out of bed and kept me awake terribly early before work.

I have been pretty grateful for not even being able to remember the last time I was sick. {Side note: Did anyone watch Unbreakable? I always reference that part when Bruce Willis’ character starts to see that he’s different and he traces it back from not remembering when he was sick, and actually realizes he was NEVER sick before, and thus a superhero. Not that I’ve never had a fever before, but this is my favorite hint that maybe I’m becoming a superhero :D}. So yes, I couldn’t go back to sleep and was still in denial so I decided I was going to make myself feel better – by painting my nails. Obvi.

I found this gorgeous teal nailpolish that was in my Spa Week gift bag from the night before, LCN’s Azure Blue and painted a few coats that dried rather quickly. I felt like it had almost a gel-like finish to it too.

After that, I wore my best striped skirt and black shirt, threw on a gold chain, heels, and a blazer and walked to work. If I didn’t feel good, I decided I might as well fake it. At the office, I was getting compliments on my outfit, my perfume (Lavanila Pure Vanilla Perfume, which one of my co-workers said, and I quote “It smells so good…I kinda want to eat you.”), and yes the nails. I like to think it carried me through the day.

Right now, I’m in love with this aqua-teal shade – it’s a pop of color that’s not obnoxious, and still sophisticated enough to wear to the office.

LCN is a professional nail color brand, so I figured I dig some other colors up in the same family that are a little more accessible!

I did actually last the whole day OK, until it got to about 6 PM and then I couldn’t focus anymore and went home. I went straight to bed with the rest of my night consisting of drinking soup and hot tea. I guess I’m not a superhero after all.
