evil eye nails for @karenkaz.com 🧿

My gym got new treadmills and they feel like you're running on sand, like it's straight awful and I thought, "hmm maybe it's just me bc I'm coming off an injury" aaaaaand unfortunately the internet is nearly unanimously in agreement that they are cheap awful treadmills that suck to run on :(

When I was like 15 & vegetarian I lived off these (long-discontinued) black bean burritos that had zucchini & carrot from Trader Joe's and it's taken me ENTIRELY too long, like 10 yrs, to figure out the secret to replicating the filling is to just... not drain the can of beans. Incredible

Turned this wild chair into a set of nails last night

worked 11 hours today and between yesterday and this, I am e x h a u s t e d

Got locked out of my apartment today. Called property mgrs "after hours" line, only to be told by some outsourced representative to call a private locksmith because my bldg "isn't included in peak properties' after hours policy" which is WILD bc they charge me a $45/mo "service fee." WHAT THE FUCK

Pet insurance has decided they will no longer cover prescription dog food and my apartment rent is going up *another* $60 this year. How the fuck is anyone existing? How the fuck is anyone paying for anything?

party shrimps (how is this my job??)

did I *need* heart-shaped glasses? def not. however,

rejoined the yoga studio bc apparently this joint injury really put the fear of god into me

Grand total for seeing an ortho sans insurance incl doctor visit, Xrays & 2 rx: $380. Feel like I got off cheap, honestly; my coinsurance doesn't kick in til I hit a $7500 deductible (and requires I see a primary before a specialist--so, 2 OOP dr visits) Insurance is (for me, currently) a scam.

Not osteoarthritis!!!!!!!! Fuck yeah we're so back (in 1-3 weeks of medication + a lifetime of forcing myself to focus A LOT MORE on stretching and core strength)

Paying out of pocket bc my healthcare is an actual joke but!!!! I am seeing an orthopedist tmw for my back and I am so excited to hopefully find out what's wrong with it and how to fix it

FYI northwest side diners

Do democrats think we're falling for these mild ass statements that, everytime, slyly refer to it as "Trump's ICE" Like oh, okay, you support it in concept, just not who is at the helm. Fuck off.

I swear to God if my back stops hurting I'll never make an excuse to not go to the gym ever again

Having a very bad time with a strained left rotator cuff and strained right lower back. So tired of being in pain and so frustrated not being able to move normally

wallpaper --> nails.

a sports bra being 84 dollars is fucking insane

Did my own last night.

did a cool set tonight

WAIT A SECOND I didn't tell them ONE N!!!! HOW DID THEY KNOW

I bought a bag of chex mix for the first time in a while this week and found it to be noticably more chex-y so googled and found that the company did indeed reduce the amount of non-chex pieces in the mix, much to many consumers' (but not my) chagrin (I am thrilled).

one of the coolest sets I've done this year ft @foxyjewishmama.bsky.social

Slipped on my apartment floors while walking in socks and fell real hard. My glasses cut my face and i immediately (like 25 seconds after sitting up) got an aura migraine + headache. Hurts to raise eyebrows. December is really trying to kill me.

In 2024 I did 219 nail appts, this years total is 432. Last year i spent $2300 on nail biz stuff, this year I spent $6800 😳 Stress is different these days but it absolutely rules not having a "Slams laptop shut til ____" job

rhinestone polka dots for me bc I did not feel like spending 5 hours painting before / shortened +shaped + base / color / after

maybe in 2026 I become the type of lady who wears matching satin pajama sets when lounging at home

really slogging through the holiday season with the hopes of 2026 being a new, better year (delusion), but these are pretty cool imo

Well I think I have ruled out shoulder dislocation but if this hurts as bad tmw as it has today I am going to get an X-ray :(((((

Ok my shoulder hurts so bad I'm googling "did I break my arm"

Slipped on someone's unshoveled, iced-over sidewalk and fucked up my shoulder, hope they enjoy laughing at me yelling at the ring camera they prob have. O U C H

I've been super sick this week and actually took two full days off of everything to rot on the couch and I truly can't remember the last time I took a real honest to god sick day like this. much to consider

Superdawg mentioned on Gossip Girl????

Love getting paid by paper check in 2025, flawless system no notes not like I have rent to pay or anything

this is a long shot but do any of y'all have any experience w the CoreChair? doing nails full time is, unsurprisingly, very hard on one's back, but all of these "good for your back" chairs are a) VERY expensive and b) not sold in any brick and mortar place to see what they're like

Four years of doing @karenkaz.com 's nails tonight! 11/23/21 (a little-wonky looking gel-x set that popped off pretty much immediately) --- 11/24/25 (her natural nails lookin very Xmas ready). Love that this is my job. Thanks, Karen! 🥰

Lmaooo I am pretty sure this was my friends and I, cannot believe *this* is how I learn they have faces on both sides when I've been going to this Superdawg since I was a child

I also did these today and really love them

just two slugs going on a slug date

cursive - the ugly organ

turns out learning drums, like many other difficult things I have attempted to master, is yet another instance of me repeating "goddammit!!!" as I become increasingly frustrated

why are so many brands announcing that their black Friday sales start *today*?

redid mine today 💅🏻✨

I am obsessed with this cursed creature that someone in my neighborhood made for their lawn. Absolutely love it. 10/10
