To Never Do...

(Even though this is about reaching goals) I'm going to state an anti-goal.

1) Always have a professional remove acrylic nails.

First off, doing it on a Friday (date night) is a very bad idea. It takes HOURS if you're as ineffective as I am. AND the results aren't so glamorous. Secondly, the magic potion is so strong it could have saved Jon and Kate (plus eight, if you need the rhyme to get my reference)... it is nothing to be scoffed at. Third, it is painful! I'm a klutz so there is no reason I should have taken on this endeavor!  Bottom line... Professional nails = Professional declawing.
