You know that feeling when you just stumble across something super random, and suddenly your life is a fraction better? Yeah, so I was going through my August junk, thinking it’d be another uneventful month, but surprise, surprise. My vanity had turned into a kind of chaotic workshop of colors—pastel nail polishes peeking out like daring little rebels ready to paint rebellion on my nails every week.
Anyway, I can’t pinpoint how I got here, but my obsession with new beauty finds led me to a treasure trove of mismatched accessories too. Like, I found the oddest collection of anklets and rings (do people even wear anklets anymore? It’s not 2001). But it’s the perfect level of retro-chic that complements the lavender nail polish I can’t seem to take off. And the way it sparkles in the barely-there sun when I’m outside is worth the cringe factor.
Not gonna lie, capturing the essence of whatever-the-heck I’m trying to embody with these fashion choices leads me to explore corners of the web I didn’t know existed. I saw this bizarre little website about nails, and honestly, some of the things people slap on their nails could be at home in a sci-fi movie. Yet, here I am, contemplating if I should try galaxy-painted nails for my next virtual meeting. Probably a terrible idea, but whatever.
Oh, and let’s not even start on the myriad of perfumes! Who knew ‘Summer Breeze Fluff’ would end up being my go-to fragrance—not just for August but maybe for the rest of my life. Or at least until the fragrance company changes the formula, because life has a way of doing that, doesn’t it?
Anyway, life’s little indulgences are what get us through the mundane stretches, and these August finds have been an unexpectedly satisfying ride. Let’s see what sort of weirdness September brings—if my eyes don’t hurt too much from yet another pastel-induced hangover.
