Happy Birthday Aunt Lynda!

Today is Aunt Lynda's birthday. I pray her day be filled with the joy of simple pleasures!

Here's a funny story, somewhat in honor of "Hot Lips" Lynda. (For those of you who don't know her, she loves to wear bright pinks on her lips and nails!) For my birthday, last April, I received 2 gift cards to a local salon (one from Arthur and one from my mom). Last week I had a manicure and pedicure. I called Lynda to tell her about it. I was getting a margarita pedicure. I asked the salon to explain what that meant. I was served a strawberry mango margarita during my pedicure. Along with the "typical" cleansers and oils, my legs/feet were treated with tequila and a lime rub. Yep, I smelled severely of alcohol by the end of the night. Lynda said something to this effect, "You aren't gonna get a boring brown are you?"

"Well, I was thinking of a soft pink or an American/French manicure."

"Get you a bright pink for your toes. Pick something, I'd pick. Just think of Aunt Lynda's lips when she shows you the color wheel of nail polishes."

So, in honor of Aunt Lynda, I went with the brightest color I thought I could handle. It was WAAAYY out of my comfort zone! Enjoy the pictures:

Here are a few of the bright pinks!

Finally picked one: Pompeii Purple (thought it looked like hot pink!). Lynda also got this in her mailbox in a pretty pink sparkly package!

Yummy. It was a really good margarita! I was sitting in the pedicure chair getting ready for the leg/foot massage! My nails are done at this point. There were cute little touches in the room like a tiki torch, string of lantern lights, bright colors, beach decor! It was cute.

Empty glass! I told ya it was yummy!


Hot towel wrap! One of my favorite parts!

Final product....still wet!

The nail technician who tolerated all of my picture taking and learned a lot more more about my Aunt Lynda than she ever wanted to know.

When I got home I asked the girls what they thought. Ella thought they were beautiful. I asked if they looked like Aunt Lynda and McKenna said, "You are Momalicious!"
