Don't get me wrong here: as a Mumma to three little tackers, I had blessed little time before Charlie's accident. (Some would say fuck all, to be frank).
But amazingly, I did used to manage to wash my hair and shave my bits and have a weekly appointment for "nice things that ladies like" kinda treatment, with the gorgeous girls down at Body By Sharon, my local beauty salon, in a nearly suburb, aptly named, Paradise.
Anyway, now that Charlie is home, and things are returning to their more normal and predictable groove, my weekly appointments can resume! Yay!
- Nails
- Feet
- Chinny-chin-chin wax
- Hair cut/re-style
On the one hand I feel shamingly superficial for getting off on my grooming, but these days I adore the tizzying. I really do love it.
(It took me about 38 years to realise I was worth pampering. I am now making up for lost time. Superficial it might be, but if sparkly feet make me happier, then money and time well spent I say!)
As I was typing this, I got a real sense of déjà vu.
You know why?
'Cos of this post here!
Can you tell I am addicted to grooming?!
Are you? Tell me what makes you feel like a goddess groomed?
Lucy-
ReplyDeleteI just love your blog! This post was right on for me. I have 2 boys ages 6 and 8 and I'm only now just getting back to the grooming thing. I'm so glad your Charlie is home again!
Wishing a speedy recovery-

I think it's worth it to feel good about ourselves. I plan on going to get my nails done this weekend. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Lucy! Sounds like heaven to me!
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not I've never had a pedicure! That is one of the treats I've got planned for myself when I reach my first 100 pound mark! I can't wait!
Debbie, hon, if you were closer, I would treat you to tha pedicure when you get to your first 100.....you will LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteLisa, beautiful lady, thank your for popping in.....and enjoy those nails. xx
Megan, thank you! And can I say, what a brilliant little profile thumbnail you have?!
I love my pedis and getting massages.
ReplyDeleteI get my acrylic nails done every two weeks. For a while, I decided that this was too extravagant and that I would just have to take them off. I was miserable!! Everywhere I looked, it seemed, beautiful nails surrounded me! I also missed my "salon time" that you described here! So, a few months later, I went right back in and got them all done again. It feels glorious!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your resurgent "girly time!"
Visiting back from my blog (tx to flogyoblog) and happy I did. Your post today is absolutely spot on, I have very rarely in the last 13 years (age of my son) done this for myself... you just motivated me...tx!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely way to treat yourself!!
ReplyDeletePS - glad Charlie is home.
Good for you have managing to get some time to look after you. Glad you enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha Hee heee heee, I'm finally catching up on my blog reading - we ARE spookily parallel.
ReplyDeleteYou will be pleased to know I plan on winning lotto next week!
