I am a back from Cancun and it’s back to reality. Back to work, to Atlanta and I have been on the go ever since I came home! You ever went on vacation and came back and it seems like everything has picked up and things have piled on more than usual? Well in my world it has! I had a beautiful time in Mexico for the first time, I will blog about that soon…but today I just wanted to catch you all up on something.
I have a confession. I rarely get my nails done anymore…like I don’t get them professionally done. First because I usually do them myself, and secondly I sometimes hate the cost of what a mani is, and for it to come off in a few days anyways. So I usually do them myself. But lately I haven’t had the time…I am always on the go! Sometimes I even try to do my nails and hope it dries in the car (I usally mess them up this way too). So I made a decision while in Cancun that I was gonna come back and treat myself to a mani! Let someone else do my nails and evn get a cute design.
Yay got my nails done! This is the first time in a super long time I have pampered myself with a mani + design! I love it. My nail tech did a great job, I told her to do what she wanted and this is what she came up with this festive aztec design that reminds me of my past Mexican trip! LOVE!
After my mani, I treated myself to some ice cream! Do you know how hot and humid it is in Atlanta?? I thought Mexico was hot…but ATL is worse I promise. So since I don’t have a beach to cool off to at the moment anymore, I decided to try this new . See even my food wants to remind me of my Mexican experience lol!
So a Mani and Ice Cream! Sounds like a good way to come back and unwind. Like I said earlier…I came back with email alerts and text messages from people checking on my return and my next business moves. I needed to literally chill out and get a mental getaway again…too bad I can’t just hop on a plane and leave again!
This new Nestlé® Häagen Dazs Artisan Collection is so rich! The Artisian Collection made it seem like I spend big bucks and a fancy resturant for my dessert option. Haagen Dazs has always been a great brand but they took it up a notch with this flavor. This is definitely grown and sexy ice cream! This is ice cream for adults (that doesnt mean it has to have liquour lol). It’s ice cream with a mature flair I love it! Chic!
Häagen Dazs Artisian Collection is a collaboration with My Sweet Brigadeiro (a NY dessert shoppe). Brigadeiro is traditional Brazilian sweet treat, similar to a cupcake but sweeter, and flavors from the Häagen Dazs line is inspired by these flavors! Once again I feel like I am back in South America!
Cancun take me back…but since I can’t just yet…I will just have some Tres Leches Brigadeiro!

So even though my work has piled up, friends and family need my attention upon my return, I still found a way to escape for some me time. Sometime simple as ice cream and manis can do the trick until you plan your next vacay. Stay tuned for my travel adventures and more to come…

I am LOVING the new Häagen Dazs Artisan Collection! It’s so yummy (and it doesn’t help that Häagen Dazs is my FAVORITE ice cream brand!) I love your nails. It’s so important t treat yourself sometimes <3
Ok, now I’m both craving this ice cream AND dying to get my nails done! I too have stopped getting them done for all of your reasons but yours are so cute!! Heading to the store now to seek out this great ice cream. Sounds like vacation at home.
I haven’t tried any of these new artisan flavors they look delicious. I’m going to have to pick some up and have some me time too. Your nails are so pretty, I love the design.
Your nails look fantastic! I need to get me some of that Hagan Daaz too. The flavours are so different and they sound delicious. Can’t wait to try some!
Oh, the new Artisan flavors sound so fancy… I must try them! And your nails are awesome! I’m usually just a french manicure kind of gal and think I’m too old to have any kind of pattern, etc., on my nails, but I should try it at least once. 🙂
I have not had a proper mani done in a while now because I am just too busy for it and when I do it myself I mess it up so need to schedule some time. I love Hagen daz ice cream and need some like now.
I’ve never seen Artisan flavors, but we rarely eat ice cream in my house. (I have a sort of addiction to it and if it’s in the house I’ll eat the entire container.) My favorite flavor of ice cream, however, is Pineapple Coconut, also by Haagen Dazs.
I LOVE getting my nails done.. but I normally just don’t have the time to go and get them done. I am taking my four year old for a pedicure on Friday ( my day off) so I’m sharing my “me time”.
What a great giveaway…. I love my kitchen aid mixer!!
Me time is always important but me time with a mani AND ice cream..now that is something I can get behind. These new artisan flavours look so good! I think I might need to have some me time with a carton of ice cream tonight!
I want to go to Cancun! But, if I can’t I guess I will settle for some of that Haagen Daas Ice Cream. That would probably help cool me off it is so hot!
Hey girlie! I too admit I don’t get manicures anymore either. Too expensive and much easier to do myself, BUT I WILL be going to pickup some of that ice cream! Those flavors look delicious!

Now that sounds like the perfect me time! I really need to stop wasting time and try the Artisan Collection flavors!
I actually picked up some of this at the store the other day. It is SO GOOD. I love it. I think I might love your nails more, though!
That sounds awesome! We eat ice cream every single day in our family!!
Your nails look great and the ice cream sounds good. I like to go bowling when I have some me time.
Yum the artisan I’ve heard lots about it but have yet to try it! Also, your mani looks amazing! So pretty.
Anytime is a good time for some ice cream, especially a classic like Haagen Dazs. Love the aztec design on your nails too!
I didn’t think Haagen Daz could get any better. But now they’re adding artisan flavors!
Oh that ice cream sure sounds good. Love the colors you chose for your nails!
Better and tastier. I can go with that,

I’m all for being pampered and getting nails done. It has been a while for me too. I like the Design .. It’s really cute
I love the cute mani! I usually do my own nails too to avoid the cost, but once in awhile I treat myself to a professional! I think I’m overdue!

I love to curl up with a good book and read. I also enjoy having my nails done – especially when a few of my friends make a girl day out of it.
I saw this in the store just last week and grabbed it! SO good! It was all mine, I didn’t even share a single bite LOL I am sorry, not sorry 😉
