How did you discover your love for nails?

I've always loved having my nails done. When I was in university, I would always get acrylics done and then moved onto shellac. I would paint my nails myself sometimes but as I worked in a demanding field, I usually didn't have the energy to paint them even though I had a small collection of nail polish. I moved to San Diego a week before California shut down due to the pandemic. Since I couldn't go to a salon to get my nails done, I started doing them myself. I found doing my nails to be so therapeutic and fun. It's really helped me get more in touch with my creative side as well.

 

What are some tactics you use to overcome obstacles and crush your goals?

I think being organized and knowing how to prioritize are key in overcoming obstacles and achieving your goals. Make a plan of action, tackle things one at a time and go at your own pace. I find it always helps me to make a plan on how I want to approach certain things so I don't feel overwhelmed. Having a notebook to write things down to so I can visualize what I need or want to do is helpful. Mental notes work well for me too.

 

What does self-care mean to you?

I think self care means taking time for yourself to recharge and to do things that you enjoy and that make you feel happy. We all need time to unplug and prioritize our own well-being and mental health.
