Feeling pretty

After not falling a sleep until 2:30 this morning (yes, I was very happy and excited) I know what I had to do today. Call my hairdresser for an appointment ASAP and get an appointment at a beauty salon for a facial, having my eyebrows and lashes coloured and getting my eyebrows plucked. Going back to the workforce and making money again means that I can treat myself with things like that. It is a luxury to be able to do it, but it sure makes a woman feel good about herself.

I got a bit annoyed at my last visit to the beauty salon in October last year. The woman there just kept pointing out my flaws. Probably her way making me want to try more stuff, but instead it backfired. I’m very well aware of my flaws, thank you very much. I do not need another woman to point that out.

Jessica had recommended me another salon not very far from here. When I called she had just gotten a cancellation, so 20 minutes later I was all snuggled up in bathrobe having a facial with very relaxing music in the background. Outside I could hear the rain and wind, which made me feel even more pampered. The woman was just great. Being very attentive to if I had any special needs or requests. She really knew how to treat her customers. And still she was a lot cheaper than my old salon. I think she has gotten a new customer. Me!

So here I am now, just feeling pretty and good about myself. Ready to take the working world with a storm. Just like the strong and confident woman I am.
