Take Care of You

by

face.jpgI know I’m about to piss off some people but here goes anyway. Why is it that women will pencil into their budgets regular hair and nail appointments but balk at the idea of paying for a person trainer? Oh they will pay, but not what the going rate is. Now you may be inclined to think that the going rate is unreasonable, but who’s to say. Trainers charge by the hour, hair stylists and nail techs charge by the job. I guess it all depends on your priorities. And I’m certainly not bashing hair stylists and nail techs. My daughter is a stylist in Dallas and I want her to have all the business that she can handle. My point is that there should be balance (there’s that word again).Pampering is a good thing and I think everyone should do it, in whatever form pleases you and that you can afford. Pampering doesn’t always have to mean the girly kind of stuff either. It can be a walk in the park, reading your favorite book, music, meditation or just watching the game uninterrupted. Me time is preventive medicine. Too often we get caught up in the hurry up and do everything at one time game and forget or neglect to take care of ourselves. Forgive me, I digress.What good is a slammin hairdo if you can’t climb a flight of stairs without huffin and puffin? And those perfectly manicured nails will look really great while you’re clutching your chest because of the pains you’re having. Balance and self care, that’s all I’m saying.
