About me

Paging Dr. Gem
I try to pamper myself as often as possible because I mean come on, one can only take the stress of med school for so long. 

Taking some time out to give myself facials, manis and pedis etc. are very crucial. It is a great relaxing tool especially after long, long days at school and especially after a long week filled with quizzes, exams, and projects. 





I'm no expert by any means because sometimes my manicures look like crap but hey what can you do?

How amazing does that blue look on my feet though? Comment and let me know what you like to do to relax, and what colors you like. 

Who else gets overly excited about the weekends? I know I do!

The thought of not having to sit in class for 8 hours, or worry about a whole lot (noticed how I didn't say nothing/anything at all) is a good feeling.

I've deemed Sundays #SelfcareSundays. I like to relax, finish any cleaning I didn't get done Saturday evening, and just take care of me. This usually involves some kind of mani/pedi combo, a nice glass of fermented grape juice (sounds more responsible that way haha), and a few episodes of whatever I need to catch up on.

Side note: My friends got me addicted to Game of Thrones and I managed to watch 6 seasons in a week, and yes that included me going to lectures, studying and everything else. SMH help needed but its so good though.


Anyways, about a year or so ago one of my friends gave me these bright almost neon nail polishes from Charming Charlie and I had only used it once and never again. 

Well I figured since summer is here why not? The neon orange (can't seem to remember what it is called and the label is faded) is literally the best color against my dark skin and I received so many amazing compliments on it. 

Of course I had to go all out and do the whole pedicure experience with cuticle oil, pumice stone, base coat and all that. 


Products Used:

  • Charming Charlie Nail Lacquer
  • Seacret Cuticle Oil
  • Revlon Base Coat
  • Colormates Quick Dry Top Coat
