Favorite Things | Manicure Mondays

So today I found myself in Taft, with the most terrible chipped nails. I delivered a couple of things to my good friend and editor Akire + had coffee at McDonald's (because that's what broke people like to do). And then because I couldn't stand the unsightly condition my nails were in, I decided to treat Akire to a manicure at this place in UM (University Mall) that I'd only ever glimpsed from the outside. It's called B.A.R. (Beauty & Relaxation) and is bar-themed. It's really, really clever what they did: they've got cocknails, eyes bucket and other quirky services. Hilarious. :)) And I spied a couple of bottles of Absolut behind the counter so I'm guessing that you really can have a cocktail to go with those fabulous cuticles. :)

Here are a couple of snappies from Manicure Monday!

 I cannot express how sick I am of Taft Avenue and how unappealing the thought of seeing it everyday again this coming week is--but that's life. :))

 Akire's bag of goodies! :)

 Spent today listening to The Academy Is... while it saddens me that they've split up, I'm also so glad that William Beckett has decided to 1.) record his own album 2.) come to Manila. Yay!

 Hello, Luncheon.

I had my nails done in a pale, understated pink.

Akire, on the other hand decided to go for a more vibrant shade of pink which I also found very pretty. :) They've got a wonderful selection here--if you're ever in the Taft area go check it out!
