I'm not a walking advertisement. Even if I want to be.

My hands and nails are not 'perfect'. 

Perfect is a big word, but you know what I mean...

Hand on heart, I am directing this statement to myself. Naturally, my love for MMN can make me put unnecessary pressure on myself, but this is something I need to change. 

I spend most days at the gym, at my 9-5 and then back to MMN in the evenings. 

But making time for family and friends is super important to me, so living such a busy lifestyle doesn't always allow for a 'perfect' mani 24/7. 

So I'm going to write this here and now, so I can read it on repeat whenever I need to:

- I am not a hand model. 

- My nails chip and break too. 

- It isn't a crime to leave the house with bare nails.

I may own and love my brand, but I am not my brand. We're human right!

I confess, I have been guilty of trying to showcase MMN on Social Media in it's best light, and this is something I will continue to do, but I also want to ensure the brand is represented in it's most authentic self. 

Some may say that the most gorgeous and long-lasting mani's happen when you aren't in a rush, and this may be true - but it is also important to find time for self-care, self-love and self-reflection - which is why I love doing my nails, as it gives me this opportunity. 

But I promise to share more snippets of my life with you, and continue to embrace those imperfections I speak of. So rest assured, I'm in this crazy world with you! 

Life is imperfect, so why would we be anything less?
