Pamper Thy Self!

I have been having a really REALLY rough time lately (as you guys know). Next week I will be having a hydrodistention on my bladder, so I know next week I will be pretty miserable. So... today, after having to do a 2 hour drive and having my bladder scream at me all day (and yesterday), I pampered myself. Today I got my hair trimmed, got a toner/glaze done to make it softer, and then eyebrows waxed. I am going to get a facial on Friday! It feels good to take care of myself, especially when I have been feeling so crappy. Hopefully you guys will give your bodies a reward for all your hard work (but also when you need to let it rest).

Hi Alyssa - I am sorry you are still feeling crappy. I am going to do something for myself as soon as I hit onederland - a full day at Elizabeth Arden's Red Door spa down near the Jersey Shore. I hope I hit it soon. You are right though, it is a great idea to pamper yourself as much as you can. Feel better!

Alyssa - I'm glad you're taking some time for yourself. You absolutely should! It's been a tough ride...but you're tough and you'll come out even stronger from the ride. Keep up the great attitude and I'm sure it will work out for you! Beth.....Please fill me in on your Red Door Spa. I'm heading to Harrahs this weekend and they have the Red Door Spa....and I have a nice coupon/discount through the Harrahs Rewards program. I sooooo want to order the massage (they do it in room....) but am so not comfortable w/ stripping down for a stranger!! I always plan to do it but never do! At best, I'll settle for a long hot whirlpool bath in the room. I really, really could use the professional massage!!

Oh honey, I assure you, massage therapists have seen things that would curl your eyebrows. If you are clean and have all your body hair properly taken care of, they aren't going to care what shape your body is! Get a massage and ENJOY it!

I haven't had a professional massage since I was a hard body soccer player. Been afraid to.

Well get out there and get one! I can recommend someone, as long as you don't mind going close to downtown. She does 1/2 off all her services the first week of every month too!

My husband got me a gift certificate for Christmas to see a massage therapist/aesthetician I've seen a few times. As soon as my incisions will let me comfortably lay on my belly again, I plan to make an appointment for a nice facial and a massage. And as soon as I FIND my colorist, I'm getting my highlights touched up! She left the salon where I usually went to see her and they are one of those places that don't like to tell you where to find people that leave. Grrrr.

I'm sorry that you still aren't feeling well... That said I am thrilled that you pampered yourself. You deserved a day of pleasure.

Good for you, sweetie, you needed some pampering! I got out and went to my Bible class, and that always, cheers me up! it's SO cold here, the car doors were frozen shut, at first! Lovely, winter, I tell ya!
