Invest in yourself in these hard times!!!

All of this talk about our economic crisis has gotten me a little down hearted and rightfully so, might I add. I know it is effecting all of us and our wallets!! So, how then, in a time like this, can we actually pamper ourselves and not feel guilty when we reach to pay and then tip??? I must interject a side note here: I am a little bit of a girlie girl in that I love manicures, pedicures, eyebrow waxing, shopping, delicious and nutritious food, and do have, if I might say so myself, great taste in all, but not limited to, the aforementioned.

Anywho, here's my point. We're all trying to stretch a dollar these days and have to skimp on things we used to splurge on. Hence we have quite the conundrum: how do we invest in ourselves when we can hardly invest in the bank? We MUST make ourselves a priority and take care of our heart, lungs, brain, legs, joints and we CANNOT neglect the largest organ in our body- our skin. I had to do it. . . get a facial and so I did with the most lovely woman you would ever want to give you a facial right down the road from my house. Sanna Sammons is her name and she greets you so warmly when you walk in. I was expected to be torn to pieces as that gross blackhead mess oozed out of my pores, but she was gentle and the music, armoatherapy and candles made me feel quite euphoric. Skin Care by Sanna (as her business is called) is reasonably priced and such an experience. My face feels rejuvenated, hydrated (still, one week later) and my complexion so much clearer. I know that by doing this, I'm saving myself big bucks in botox down the road when wrinkled skin becomes my daily dread.

I strongly urge you to check her out if you can, relax and unwind and part with a few dollars to invest in yourself! It was amazing and my face- like a baby's bottom:)
