{LOL, ok, that is probably no surprise to most of you anyway….}

I know I’m not the toughest guy in the gym {OK, truthfully, I don’t remember the last time I WENT TO THE GYM}

But when I go to get a manicure {STOP LAUGHING} I don’t want to be sitting in a big PINK salon, in a big PINK chair…

And more importantly I don’t want to be in a toxic environment and come out with high gloss nail polish on…I want to look trimmed and well groomed…

And so should the groom on his wedding day – the grease from working on the car and the rough dry hands from landscaping just don’t cut it in ring shots and EVERYONE will want to see both of your rings…

So at the advice of Rebecca {and everyone who met them at last year’s Soiree in the City} I went to see Karina at Tierra Mia Organic Nail Spa off of Rittenhouse Square – 17th between Spruce and Pine

It’s a great space, organic décor – {they are pioneers in the organic nail care movement} and isn’t all PINK – just comfortable, relaxing and there are no toxic odors either…

All of their products are organic – I opted for a gentleman’s manicure with a fresh coconut scrub they were actually grating the coconut to mix with the coconut oil … they also offer several other seasonal options to battle dryness or cool your skin {cucumber in the summer sounds great!}

They cleaned me up, massaged my hands and buffed my nails… they look great and no “too shiny’ clear coat…

For the ladies they offer all water based nail polishes…..

The spa offers manicures, pedicures, waxing and massage – they have hosted lots of girls spa days for bachelorette parties or pre wedding pampering ranging from 5 to 20… you can bring in your own platters and cocktails …

Katrina, Justin and their staff could not have been nicer and my hands look MARVALOUS!
