This weekend things have gotten interesting enough to warrant a blog post. Got another chance to attend
Barrioquinto's latest one-man show just a few days before I head to Boracay. Before the SO and I attended the event I thought to myself my toenails looked crap!
I'm pretty low maintenance compared to most girls I know (I've heard of people telling me to go to finishing school, too, a few times). I only go to salons maybe three to four times a year, in fact.
On the day before the event I went to Nail It along Pearl Drive. Heard it was opening again after a month long renovation, and since I was already within the area I figured why not drop by and have my quarterly nail fix. I'm pretty spontaneous-ish that way.
I like this Orly nail paint's pale shimmer. It's called "Catch the Bouquet".
I tried Nail It's Pampering Hands service where the nail specialist soaked my hands in a tub; applied a minty, exfoliating scrub; and applied a layer of mud mask before a quick massage. The entire service was slightly soothing, though I had hoped it would happen a bit more slowly. I was hoping that the mud mask should remain on my hands and upper arms for a few minutes before rinsing. So I would not leave the salon with unkempt fingers and toes, I went ahead and tried the Coloring Manicure, Simply Pedicure and Coloring Pedicure services. (Here's the Nail It Price List.)
The following day I knew I was ready for the first item on my Saturdate with the SO - The Sony photography workshop #SummerGoals which happened to include a fashion photography segment.
Here's a nice steal from SM's Surplus Shop - a zipfront linen dress.
Ended my Saturdate with a little fine art. We went to Shangri-La at the Fort for Provenance's grand opening. Gallery opening coincided with renowned contemporary artist Andres Barrioquinto's one-man show entitled "Nocturne".
Just look at this!
Maybe someday I might be just as awesome as Andres Barrioquinto. Until then, I'll just take comfort in my little experiences with life and art.
