Day of firsts

Today I had my first ever facial and foot spa. I was feeling low and thought it might do me some good. And it did!

I had never had a facial nor had my toes cleaned by someone else so this is really something to write about. I consider both activities as vanity, but I realized otherwise after having gone through it. It dawned on me that they help rejuvenate parts of my body that works a lot for me.

My face is what I show to the world. It is the first thing that people see and the last thing that they will remember. I have underestimated the need to take care of it, or pamper it once in a while. I realized that a facial does just exactly that. It pampers the skin and gives it the special attention it deserves. The dermatologist said it would make my skin glow, and it did.

But you know what? I think what actually made my skin glow was the good feeling I got after the facial. I knew that I deserved it and that I have done something to make me feel good.

As for the foot spa, it is a luxurious experience that I found both fun and refreshing. I remember I used to tell myself that I would not have anyone scrub my feet. But today is a day of firsts, and for today, I had to set that statement aside. It was a good decision.

The warm water felt great and having my soles scrubbed was both ticklish and relaxing. I can actually feel my feet getting refreshed while being scrubbed and rubbed with aromatic lotions. It felt wonderful!

I walked around today a little taller and lighter. With my face and feet scrubbed and refreshed, I was ready once again to face the world with a renewed spirit. And I think it’s time to start saving a little budget for it from now on!
