However, after my last day of beauty routine changes, I did immediately look up the phases of the moon for upcoming important dates in my life, so maybe I am entering a new phase in my relationship with astrology, after all. At the end of the day, I’m still interested in astrology, but I’m not necessarily any more of an expert or believer than before this week. As much as I enjoyed the new and old beauty rituals, what was arguably more interesting was seeing how my overall mood corresponded and shifted with the lunar phases. During this week, I was reminded that sometimes slow and thoughtful self-care is best, and other times, I prefer trying out something new, exciting, or different.Īdmittedly, though, I’m not completely convinced that the changes would have been less effective or enjoyable had I done them on different days (thus during different moon phases).

I also was happy I bought more than one set, because I experimented with another in a different shape and style later in the week, which gave me yet another boost of confidence. They made me feel great, and I woke up the next morning feeling more confident than I had in a while. Ultimately, though, I was glad for the excuse to take a chance. Fake, self-adhesive nails were admittedly pretty new to me and I had worried I would hate using them - I thought maybe they wouldn’t feel like me, or they’d be impossible to apply (or worse, remove).
