Do "Over the top" birthday parties bother you?

I don’t bother with paying for a the mani…I do that myself since I’m likely to quickly chip my nails. But I do get a pedi twice a year, once around April/May, and again around July. I do get designs put on the big toes. LOL I use the same OPI color so I can touch up any small chips or to fill in growth. Usually I can make it thru the whole sandal season with just doing this twice.

What I’ve noticed is that too many young people are being raised to pay for services that “in our day” we did ourselves. My friends and I used to give each other manicures when we were in high school. Kids don’t even like taking a snack, drink, or lunch with them…they’d rather just buy whatever at a snack shop or fast food place. And, don’t even get me started on how many young kids are buying Starbucks on a regular basis. oy!
