Today is self care Saturday for me. (This may be TMI, fair warning. I’m not shy about it, except with my family and they won’t read my blog even if I asked them to.) I got up early this morning for my waxing appointment (down there). The last time I got it done was right before the wedding, that was my first time and let me tell you, it was worth it.

For the last three months, I didn’t have to worry about grooming. I didn’t have to worry about my monthly friend making it worse. I didn’t have to bother with much besides my legs. This is a luxury for me. 

Ellen, my waxing lady, makes it such an easy and welcoming experience that it makes me feel comfortable in her office. I already booked my next appointment in May. 

I got up at 8 am this morning, showered, had alvocado toast, and left with plenty of time to get to my appointment. I sat there and read a chapter of my A Court of Thorns and Roses. Then she was ready for me. 

After I got home, I put a face mask on and now I am writing my daily blog for the day. This feels like a regular journal for me, I look forward to looking back a year or so from now anad reading about my daily adventures and daily thoughts. (Only a journal strangers will read, that’s okay to me). 

I plan on trying to curl/wave my hair after I am done while watching our shows together with Brandon and try to make sure I drink enough water for my intake before I allow myself a “fancy drink” (Fancy to me, probably gross to you) of a poppi or olipop soda. 

Since I have started making my body go to bed at a earlier time, waking up early (I say early, but it is like 8am or 9am – which I know maybe considered late by other people’s standard) and I have been making sure I put self care and self love into my routine, I have genuinely felt better at myself and I am proud. 

Well, I am off to wash this mask off and do my hair for fun while we relax until we go out to dinner tonight with my in-laws.
