What WAS I thinking? Having worked in many countries & lived in quite a few of them, I have co-erced my husband to move with me to Argentina, to make our permanent home there. Neither of us speak Spanish. Therein lies the greatest challenge ... here are my observations during the 1st year.

Queenies Salon!

Oh what joy!!
We found a real nail salon here in BA. In our street too! Now we won't feel so deprived of life's little monthly luxuries :)
It's only pocket-sized & recently opened by an Argentinian woman who's been living & working in Los Angeles for many years, who seized the opportunity to start such a business here. For a culture that is so focused on their bodies, it's odd that this boutique business has not reached here sooner. She's doing very well & is looking for a 2nd premises already.

I had my Christmas mani-pedi there on Xmas Eve - long overdue after 3 months of neglect - & am very pleased to report it was 'top drawer'. There are no custom-built soaking chairs available in Argentina yet apparently so it's a little old-fashioned with soaking your feet in a shallow pail of soapy water but it works just as well. Of course, that means no inbuilt massage machine in the chairs either.

Hooray for Queenies!!
