Fly Winter 2011-2012

Holiday Hands

by Meredith W. Sullivan

I

had a hard time getting in the holiday spirit this year, but that quickly changed once I got my spirit fingers. I recently made a visit to AQUA the Day Spa to let Keisha Alexander show me the hottest shades for the holidays, and let me tell you—sparkles get me every time. It was too hard to choose just one color so she showed me how to layer polishes, and she even painted me an accent nail. If you’re like me and need help getting in the mood or you just want a top-notch manicure, I say book an appointment with Keisha (or your favorite manicurist) pronto!

I Believe in Love

by Meredith W. Sullivan

V

alentine’s Day often gets a bad rap. Some think it’s too sappy, and others think it should be called “Singles Appreciation Day.” Regardless of whether you’re in a relationship, I believe Valentine’s Day is a day to acknowledge love—love for yourself, love for your family and friends, love for your significant other and love for life! Happy Valentine’s Day, y’all.

What Happened to Winter?
