Nails

So.. remember this? Yes, my nails were a horror. For about nineteen years, sadly. You would think it's hard to get over a habit after nineteen years of doing it. And it is. But persistance pays off, always and everytime. Take a look at this;

I can be proud.

I feel like a princess!

Because I got my nails done! I've wanted to have acrylnails for a while, but had a lot of doubts about it too..:

1) Can't wear them while I am goalkeeping
2) They look trashy on a lot of people
3) Will they look fake?

But I also wanted to finally for ONCE have long nails, since I bite. This is why I went to the salon wednesday, since my hockeyseason is now over. I asked for the most natural and shortlooking nails. And am I happy or what? I used to be ashamed of my hands and nails, now I feel like waving to random people just to show my nails, HA.

And they aren't hard to live with either. I used to have fake glue on plastic nails, but you would always feel the pressure of it on your nails whenever you would do ANYTHING. I was afraid it would be like this too, but after a few hours your body kind of realises these are your nails, and since they are glued on so well you realise there's really nothing that can happen.

I can SO recommend this to anyone if you have to money, and know a good salon. I know one, and she is pretty cheap also. But hey, that's only in my town :-)

Summer is here? Please?!

So, yep, when the sun is shining, the nails are happy!

Ps. Currently out for dinner with my mom, dad, sister, lover, grandpa and grandma. I love that so much :)

Nailbiting progress!

Well.. making progress! But am currently biting a little bit again, temptations!

So I feel ashamed to write this story...

...since I feel this is a new way of opening up, and really having to look at the cold hard facts. But also something to improve and be excited about the future.

So.. THIS is the problem..



I'm a nailbiter. Not a terrible one, but pretty bad yeah. I've tried to stop it... not once, not twice, more like a hundred times. Yet I keep failing, and I'm trying to figure out why.

Science (I'm defenitely a sucker for brain science!!!!)
It's a habbit. And habbits are proven to be situated in the brain. Habbits are survivalmechanisms. Your brain has learned them as a standardprocedure to operate in certain situations. It's proven to take at least thirty days to change your brain, thus your habbits. It all has to do with brainpatterns. That standardprocedure is a brainpattern. Sometimes though, they don't serve you. Like nailbiting.

I've tried anti-bite stuff, but I quit that because it got all over my food, and that went a little overboard for me. I've tried polishing my nails beautifully so I wouldn't bite them, that actually works... but after three weeks I fall back into the biting pattern. I've tried miracle growing stuff, which does absolutely help a bit, but still doesn't stop you from biting.



So I tried to figure out WHY I bite nails. That answer is: because I'm used to it, it's a habbit. Then I figured out WHEN I bite nails. There's a few answers for that: 1) there's a little hook that need to be taken off, 2) I'm bored, 3) I'm nervous.

So now I decided a different attack. I put on the growth support, which is mainly support. And whenever I feel like biting I need to get something else in my hands, or to do. And then maybe hold onto that for as long as my brain needs to change.

Then, I promised myself that I could buy a cheap nailpolish once a week or once every two weeks, and paint my nails beautifully, because it makes me want to stop biting them :). So... I'm almost at a week now.. monday I can buy my first nailpolish! And I've been inspired by Catrice's new nailpolishline!





Aren't they soooo pretty? I put an arrow under the ones I really want? Obviously I need to choose between the thousans grey/brown ones, ha! I love them. I can't wait for a summer with pretty nails!

Sorry for the long story, just needed to share!

Pretty nails y'know

How I wish these were my real ones...

One of the features of my body I love most are my hands. They are feminine, thin, long fingers, they are beautiful. And yes, sometimes those things need to be said.

One my most disliked habbits is the one of nailbiting. Last december I tried to stop biting for the 475589th time. It was succesful, for three weeks. Then my little growing nails got little hooks, and things, and I got stressful, and well.. that's not a good combination.

The past few days I've been hating (and really hating) my normal shortie shortie nails. So I decided to glue on my plastic nails. I usually think french manicure is tacky, but frankly, with myself I don't think so. Weird.

Don't you just love my ring? Got it for my birthday back in September. At first I didn't like the ring so much, only what it looked like on my hand. Now it seems my man knows me better than me, because I've not taken it off since...

Omygod, it's been ages since being in the USA. Seems like last month, it was August.

Allright, I'm gonna hop in the shower, hoping the nails won't come off (no chance cuz I have to wash my beautiful goldenblonde but thickashelllllll hair)

And then....internship. All that's on my mind. Only 23 working days left! Or well... 22, because I have one day off left!!!!

Hugs and kisses,
I hope to check back in more often!
