Well, I get my hair done once a month, I give myself a manicure weekly and a pedicure monthly (too cheap to pay someone to do something I can do) and I get a massage monthly. All of that makes me feel good.
But the main thing that I try to do is reach out to others and try to help others. My Mom taught me that at a very young age and I have been volunteering ever since. When I know I've helped someone by them either telling me or flashing a beautiful smile, I sure feel good. It makes me feel like I'm doing something worthwhile since my family is all out of the house now.
Denise, do you soak your nails before you try to give yourself a manicure? Maybe take a nice hot soak in the tub and then trim your nails. Maybe that would help. I know it helps me when giving myself a pedicure.
