Mint makes me feel pretty and fresh.
Minty lotions, gum, candy, soap, candles, etc... Ginger does too. and lemongrass. Oh, and cotton nightgowns with little flowers |
baking makes me feel sexy.
so does time with my femme friends. even the ones that would punch me for buying a $1200 purse. :seeingstars: |

When my back is having one of those days, I'll soak in a hot bath until the water starts to get cold. Sometimes it even involves bubbles.
Tinkering with almost any kind of bike can make me feel good too. |
-having a pedicure -getting my hair cut -wearing my favorite jeans and boots and a great cleavage inducing shirt jewelry -dressing up to go out on date with Erin or to an event in town -being with/celebrating with my with Femme sisters |

today I was out in my yard doing ..well..yard work.
I was covered from head to toe in soil, mulch, sweat and blood. (rose bushes) My buddy Jean came over to cut the grass for me. She walked up to say hello and smiled as she looked at me. I felt like I looked a sight. The weekend was so hard on me...I created a massive disaster in my kitchen last night by forgetting to turn off the bathroom sink. In 10 minutes, I destroyed my kitchen ceiling. This was on my mind as well..and well, I felt like I looked anything but pretty. I felt I looked frazzled, worried, scared, ashamed, (memory loss caused the mistake that destroyed the ceiling) and messy. she said to me " you look really happy..your yard agrees with you. You look good..." wow. Talk about a suprise pick me up! I felt pretty. Not just pretty beautiful but pretty damn good about myself in general. She was right. Destruction comes and goes in my life. If not my ceiling, then my hopes and dreams are always on the line up to be shot at and destroyed. But destruction isnt the only thing that comes and goes in my life. I am stubborn. I am relentless. And I am in denial. I refuse to let my back injury destroy a single moment that I have left in me to STILL DO. Someday I wont be able to STILL DO but right now, in my mulch/soil/sweat/ and blood moment, I was able to STILL DO and my buddy Jean recognized the beauty in my stubborn willfulness. and other ways I feel pretty... refresh my nail polish. My nails are always painted. Its the one thing I love to do and makes me feel good about myself avon. Can you believe it? I am shocked myself. But no one makes a better face moisturizer for the price. (look at consumer reports) and I can afford a $2 lip gloss every once in awhile walk my dog. Getting out and moving can make me feel alot better about myself and walking my dog helps her feel good too condition my hair. Ever since I went silver I have such volume and curl. I rarely need to "treat" it anymore because its not burnt by dyes, curling irons, chemicals, etc. But sometime I just do it to feel pretty Tattoo. If I had the cash, i would get a tat to feel pretty. Or a piercing. one of the best ways to get me out of a myopic funk, is to see myself the way my honey sees me. I pick well. I pick people who can see me as beautiful and appreciate my inner and outer beauty. So when I see myself the way they see me, its a real pick me up. I look at my daughter and because I know where she got the genes to be so beautiful, I can get a pick me up that way too. looking at my sister as we age, and seeing how incredibly beautiful I think she is as she matures, I acknowledge we come from the same gene stock too remembering my mother, who in her simplicity of looks, was an incredibly beautiful woman. I know my father fell in love with her the minute he saw her and I never saw him not look at her without total adoration. He is who I model my expectations of a partner from. If they cant look at me like he looked at her, I dont want to get involved... there is more but I am tired... |

And no, I think buying a bra is a perfect way to inflict self love. I do it often. |
I don't go out and buy anything or pamper myself ...
I do go sit on the shore, looking at the sea, listening to the wind, feeling the sea air on my face ... That's my therapy. Give me a day at the beach, and I'm a happy bunny! |

I pamper myself with a ..... scented spa ... ... clipping finger and toe nails, sometimes getting a pedi/mani. Sometimes, I have clear polish applied... so fucking what!? ... nothing like a facial from a professional to take stress away... .... and I buy new underwear for a small up-lift! Some silk boxer briefs (don't like the long baggy ones, don't like all that fabric clogging up my pants and ruining my figure!!! Got good hips & thighs, show 'em off!) and a few regular women's cotton thigh hi briefs. (Just try to make something of this!) ... getting my hair trimmed sometimes is pampering to me and having it highlighted. And, I grow phenomenal roses and love fresh cut roses on my table... just for myself! Frankly, going clothes shopping and finding something that looks good on me can lift my spirits. |

Mani/pedi
Getting a new hairstyle Working out Gussying up and hitting the town with friends Solving a problem Dancing around in my skivvies Getting a good night's sleep and the stretch that follows Unsolicited compliments (two points for those from strangers, five points for those from trusted friends) |
I love taking a hot shower, deep conditioning my hair, lathering on a rich sexy lotion then dancing around the house singing with no clothes on. Something about being free in the moment just does it for me.

Lupus and chronic pain really drains me... and I'm allergic to most "girly girl" skin products. But I like to: *splurge on Arbonne International products bought from my best friend (everything is all natural, no harsh chemicals, no un-natural fragrance or dye ingredients and not tested on animals.) *Wear my very well made, beautiful and comfortable corset & thigh highs hidden under my business suits. (it "improves" my posture ;) ;) and makes me feel sassy) *splurge on my favorite vanilla honey scented bath products, almond butter lotions or Hugo Deep Red perfume. *Dance barefoot in my kitchen. *apply a little makeup to add color to my pale face and make my blue/hazel eyes stand out. *get decked out for work and wear my "kick ass boots" *straighten these G*D Awful curls! *wear an outfit that's my lover's favorite and smile coy like when I get their attention ;) *enjoy a candle lit hot bubble bath to wash away the pain *day dream about my lover sneaking up behind me in the kitchen, wrapping their arms around my waist, nuzzling my neck and whispering "Ummm you smell so good baby." *having a GOOD hair day!! LOL *finding a blouse that I don't need a bra with and show off my hourglass curves (scars from my surgery make bras unbearable!) *seeing the pride in my would-be lover's eyes when they are out with me and their attention is focused on my eyes, smile and laughter. And "airdrying" after a very hot bath. |
