The Princess and Her Pedi

Once upon a time, there was a stylish, smart and resourceful princess. As fairy tales go, she married a handsome, funny and ambitious prince. Together they had a child, then another and then another.
The princess’ favorite time of year had been the holiday season. She loved the feasting, frolicking and festive gift-giving. She tried her best to pass on her love of the holidays to her children but somehow it just wasn’t the same.

Feasting became cooking, frolicking became cleaning and festive gift-giving became check-listing. Even though the princess was organized, she became worn out long before December 25th.

One year, she looked at her nice and naughty list (who says Santa gets to have all the fun?) and realized she hadn’t bought gifts for her mother, her sister or her girlfriends. “Yikes,” she thought, “what is a princess to do?”
