My Weekend :)

Friday night I was quite the bore.  I was exhausted from my work week so I decided to stay in for the night. 
I poured myself a glass of Senor Sangria and hung out on the couch watching TV all night.
I’m really into making my own sangria but when you’re in a pinch store sold bottle sangria will have to do.
I’ve tried “Yago Sangria
yagosant27gria
& to be honest I’m not crazy about the taste AT ALL!  I couldn’t taste all the different flavors you usually taste in a great glass of sangria.  I actually ended up pouring the whole bottle down the sink the one time I purchased this.

Señor Sangria in “Classic Red” has been my go to store sold sangria!  If any of you ladies is looking for a great Sangria to try, this is your bottle!! Señor Sangria is sweet, satisfying and has just enough kick to remind you that you’re drinking.

~ Saturday ~
Lately I’ve been getting a Shellac manicure at the nail salon.

Not a fan of regular manicures, but don’t want to ruin your nails with acrylics or gel nails? Well, a couple weeks ago I found a solution for all of you manicure lovers out there! This past spring CND came out with Shellac nail polish. You might be saying Shellac, hmm what is this exactly? Shellac is a cross between gel nails and traditional nail polish.  It gets applied like regular nail polish, but dries like a gel. Shellac gives your manicure a little more stability than the usual manicure, allowing it to last longer.
Shellac manicures take slightly more time because after each coat you have to put your hand under UV light. You are not getting as much UV light as you do with gels or acrylics. It is totally worth the few extra minutes, because immediately after you take your hand out of the UV light for the last time, your manicure is completely dry. I walked out of the salon a little hesitant, as I’m used to having to sit and let it dry for awhile before touching anything. I put my gloves on and when I took them off later, no smudges! It was a miracle; I could go about my regular business immediately after getting my manicure.

This is 4 days after my salon visit.  Still no chips.

Some people say they get bored of their color and wouldn’t want the same color on for two weeks.  I can see their point, but two weeks isn’t that long to me, and I just love looking down at my polished smudge free nails!

Late afternoon on Saturday my best friends Heather, Kim & I went to Toms River, NJ “SailFest.” This sailboat regatta, street fair and shore party includes food, craft vendors, music and dancing. The girls and I had a great time!

After “SailFest,” the girls and I ate dinner at Wharfside Patio Bar & Restaurant. I always enjoy going to Wharfside in the summer when the weathers warm because the restaurant has a live band that plays great music, delicious food and its located right on the water!

I love Shellac! It’s seriously the best invention since sliced bread! Okay… maybe I’m pushing the envelope a bit in saying that but seriously… SO much better than getting a regular manicure!
