I decided I needed a pedicure...and a manicure BADLY. I really can't even say for sure when my last pedi was. All I know is that my toes (pre-pedi) look like this:
UGH!
My nails...well that's another horror story. I decided to stop getting refills a long time ago...I took the acrylic off myself. Awful! They went through their ridiculously flimsy/splitting cycle...and now they are stronger, but still ugly. I knew that I should totally get a mani so that other people wouldn't have to suffer at the sight of them, BUT...that would mean one of two things. Either I would have to let one ladybug work on my toes while another worked on my nails leaving me no hands to read a book OR I would have to be at the salon twice as long. No thanks to either...or um that was my thought process when I walked into the establishment. Upon completion of my pedi, I just knew I couldn't leave the premises until my nails looked presentable.
Onto the massage. I just develop such tension in my body - primarily my upper back, shoulders, and neck. I have a membership at Massage Envy - one that provides me with a massage a month for a very reasonable cost. More often than not, I go twice a month. I wonder how people go without...are they secretly suffering and don't know it? Do they have someone to provide this service free of charge (husband, boyfriend, etc)? Are they stress/tension free? Do tell! I decided I should get one before I go embarrass myself at yet another race ... you know ... to relaxi taxi my body before it goes through (deserved) hell.
I also stalk Groupon and Living Social deals for spa-type services in the Houston area on a daily basis. So far, I've purchased a hot stone massage (haven't used YET) and a facial.
So, yes...I'm spoiled and yes, I don't deserve it, but that's how my cookie crumbles.
Oh and here are my toes post-pedi:

What do you mean you don't deserve to be spoiled? Of course you do...regardless of who is doing the spoiling. Plus, manis/pedis/massages are all considered maintenance just like going to workout.
Good for YOU taking some time to be ince to Kim!
I was never one to do things for myself. Ever. I wasn't playing the martyr, just never really spent money on me!
That has really changed I. The past year. I've started getting massages when I need them or picking up soemthing fun. It's OKAY to spoil yourself sometimes! And yes, YOU deserve it!!!
