DIY: American Flag Nails

For a few years, I worked in two different positions that required me to have either clear or french nails, no variety. Once I moved on to a position where I had more freedom to decorate my fingers as I pleased, I decided to start experimenting with different designs and colors.

I've dedicated my time and efforts towards eating clean since January. I technically started over a year ago, but took baby steps. In January 2011, I began to cut out fast food restaurants from my daily routine. Then, I started portioning my desserts and snacks. In January 2012, I began to count calories and make a diligent effort to stay around 500 negative net calories each day. If you're looking to do this, sites like Calorie Count and My Fitness Pal are great resources to use. While I have grown knowledgeable of most calories values in certain foods and no longer feel the need to watch the numbers, I still use the former website when logging my weight monthly.
