Ummmm......yummmmm! If you're a South Sider, (or happen to be on the South side), you've got to check out the new coffee stand at Murphy round about! Convenient location, great service and freaking delicious coffee!

From the deepest parts of my heart, I express so much gratitude for the love, friendship and blessings that have been given over the last few months.

My last post was announcing a hiatus while I took care of my mother, who was battling with leukemia.

We brought her and my dad to live with us on March 28th and had the most amazing of homecomings! My Dad, siblings and I, our spouses and kids surrounded Mama with love and laughter, food and bonfires, movies and snuggles. We had a great week.

However, our time was cut short. On April 4th, my beautiful mama passed away, surrounded by her children and holding her soul mate's hand. It was beautiful. Though she was taken too soon, we are grateful for the big life she lived and that she is no longer suffering.

I've taken some more time to try and work through my grief, support my family and children through their grief, and just BE together. Big thanks to so many of you that have showed me love and grace in this time.

My mama was my biggest supporter, my loudest cheerleader and my ultimate fan. I made her a promise we'd be ok, so it's time to get after that.

I will be opening my books again in mid June, exclusively at Esther. Due to family events, I have limited availability during the summer, but will be back full time in September.

Life is short, make the most of it!

To all my amazing clients:

I will be taking a hiatus from my chair for at least a few weeks. I know I have been a little slow on responses and communication lately and I ask for forgiveness on that.

Since July of last year, my beautiful, amazing, strong and feisty mother has been battling an extremely aggressive form of leukemia. Many of you already know the struggles that we've been through since then.

This last weekend, I was blessed with the ability to move my parents into my family's home to help in her care.

We don't know how much longer we have together in this journey, but I do know that my priority right now is caring for her and my family during this time.

In the interim, there are great nail techs out there! Check out www.estherbend.com for availability at Esther.

I will be back at some point, and I look forward to catching up with you all.

In the meantime: Courage, Humor, Grace & Love

Loving my new decor I just picked up from 💕

Like so many others with school age kiddos, it's been a crazy time trying to figure out how to balance work and home schedules.

I'm blessed to have a great studio space at my home that I can provide one on one services at the same high standard for clients. I love being able to make it more & more cozy!

I continue to be at Esther on Tuesdays & Wednesdays, working from my home studio Thursdays-Saturdays.

I cannot express how much I appreciate your continued support for my passion!
