The last two weeks have been crazy for me! Saturday I had an all day event with my son for scouts, and next week is going to be just as crazy. Sunday was my only free day in two weeks, so I took some much needed time for myself after church. My husband agreed to keep the kids occupied for an hour in the afternoon so I wouldn't be interrupted.
It's been a while since I had time to do my nails, so that's what I decided to do for my hour alone. I have a homeschooler and work from home, so I don't get an hour alone at home very often. Actually, I haven't had time alone at home in two years. Along with painting my nails, I exfoliated and made a cuticle oil recipe because my cuticles are still dry from the brutal winter.
I really wanted to treat myself, so I picked up some things at Walmart to indulge. I knew about Skinny Cow® Frozen Snacks or Treats, but I didn't know they have drinks and candy bars too! I found them in the milk cooler and the candy aisle respectively.
I tried the Skinny Cow® Blissful Truffle Candy Bar, which comes in two flavors – Milk and Dark Chocolate. Since the weather is finally getting warmer, I also indulged in the Skinny Cow® Vanilla Almond Crunch Bar and the Skinny Cow® Mocha Latte Creamy Iced Coffee to drink while I do my nails. The drink is a decadent blend of rich roasted coffee whipped with creamy milk.
Skinny Cow® is hosting in-store demos at Walmart from May 7 to May 10. Check here to see when your store is hosting theirs.
At Home Manicure
My hands needed some serious love after being neglected because I've been so busy lately. I use my sea buckthorn body butter every night, but I still needed to use a scrub to exfoliate. I used my Pink Sugar Body Scrub because the smell is amazing.
My cuticles get really dry in the winter, so I made a strengthening cuticle oil recipe to use before my manicure. I like to add some lemon essential oil to my oil because it helps keeps my nails bright.

Since I wanted to paint my nails right away, I washed my hands after a few minutes. If you're not painting your nails, you can let the oil soak in longer.
I chose this ombre set to paint my nails. It's so easy to use, and it looks amazing!
After my nails were done, I grabbed the book I'm reading and headed outside to finish my childfree hour. It's finally getting a little warmer here, so I indulged in a Skinny Cow® Vanilla Almond Crunch Bar while I read. I'm definitely going to have keep this on hand for this summer!
