I have always loved to pamper myself. What can I say - I like my comforts! I take pleasure in the little things in life.
- A steaming hot cup of strong coffee.
- An hour or two at the spa.
- Cool and crisp sheets at the end of a long day.
- A nice hot bath (or shower).
The list can go on and on. However, I never really paid attention to the things that a woman "must" go through to keep herself looking nice. I always held the belief that appearances are way overrated.
Then I discovered doing things for myself. The rest, as the cliche goes, is history.
I discovered that the agony of having tiny hairs stripped from your skin results in being more comfortable. (Don't ask me how or why - not prepared to share that much.)
I discovered that the discomfort of having your nails scraped and shaped results in prettier feet and hands. (Yeah, too girly, but as it turns out, a lot of fun as well.)
I discovered that the pain of a needles and creams and whatnot on your face gives you a glow and helps you deal with chin acne, among other things. (Never mind the tears that come with it.)
We do go through a lot of pain - some of them voluntary, some not. It seems to me, though, that pain - in whatever form it is manifested - simply makes a better person out of you.
No, I am not masochistic.

I have endured a LOT of pain over the years all in the name of beauty and vanity. And, I am proud of it!
ReplyDeleteThat's interesting...I'm also making new choices based on me--like buying lots of thing. (I usually only buy things for the family and prefer old, used, cheap things for me.) Yeah, it's fun to do stuff for yourself even though it can be uncomfortable (or even painful)!!!
