One thing I do for myself on a regular basis, is to get my nails done at my local nail salon. My nails never were in the best of shape, so I get acrylic overlays to protect them and to keep them looking good. On occasion I will get a pedicure as well.

While I was there relaxing in one of their massage chairs, I noticed, as I do [...]
