I have always hated getting manicures (I get so bored trying to sit still), besides there’s no point putting on polish when you’re just going to dive your hands into the kitchen the next minute and make a massacre of the paint job anyway. Still, I believe in good-looking nails. Well, have I found the perfect solution for manicure-hating cooks! I was milling around a pharmacy in Regensburg and found these marvellous neem nail oil “markers” by Dr. Hauschka. Cuticles disappear with one little rub and your nails stay nice and hydrated and healthy. This and a nail-file and I’m good to go in five minutes. (Not sure if the “markers” are available in Canada, but I am quite sure the same product comes in a small bottle. Same thing, really.)
