I think I am growing accustomed to treating myself to indulgences. Pedicures top my list and now I'm thinking this needs to be reclassified as a necessity. Face it ... I can't see that well and it's getting harder and harder to reach down that far.
My sister is here and we have been giving in to luxury items. Facial. WOW! What a difference that made in my skin! So I scheduled two more before I depart my island. Hey! That's about the only part of my body that anyone else sees. Which brings me to hair. Since Mr. Ralph died in early May, I have been having my hair cut every 3-4 weeks. I used to postpone until I was nearly crazy trying to get it to cooperate (6-8 weeks). Definitely a luxury. In December, my friend from Portland (who works at a VERY upscale salon) gave me a more updated cut which gives me a lot more bounce and curl. Wash and wear.
And tomorrow is a massage! Totally decadent but gosh do I feel great after. Maui has a massage school where you can go be a guinea pig for $25. I think I will indulge in a monthly treat. It is good for my soul.
Now ... how to get rid of the age spots on my hands.....
For me, too, pedicures are a necessity. I can't bend that far anymore and to think when I was in my teens I used to bit my toenails! (Laugh all you want, I still do. I wanted to keep my fingernails bit free and I did.) Getting a pedicure was the first indulgence I did after Don passed away and it was the first time I'd ever gotten one in my life.
ReplyDeleteGetting a massage is on my bucket list. In fact, going to a weekend spa is on my bucket list. All that stuff---I'm thinking---is good for your morale.
