I STOPPED GOING!
It all started around last summer...I was sick of my hair. Sick of going and getting it cut, and not happy with the style...and not happy with the color etc etc etc.
So, I said screw it, and just took the scissors to my hair and just cut it all off. I really go into it, I even shaved it down to the scalp. It was liberating....I liberated myself from my hair....
Next...I had acrylics...the kind that is all white and they do the gel thing on them? Out the window with those....got sick of sitting there and had them all taken off...I felt free...not to mention I'm saving a nice chunk of change.
I took it another step....no more pedicures. Why bother?
I'm even letting a slight roll of fat take residence in my mid section....however thats where I draw the line.
Some people might say I'm letting myself go....Not me, I feel like for the first time in my life I'm accepting myself for just the way I am, plain and simple....
And its liberating!

I'm a slave to my hair, but I did let the acrylic nails go a few years ago when I started planting flowers in my garden. The nails couldn't keep up, so they had to be left behind. I tend to chew my nails and cuticles, but I've noticed since I got these veneers put on my teeth the other day that I can't bite my nails anymore. So maybe they'll grow a bit. Or at least not look so ragged. I still don't want them long, though.
Obviously, the fat around the middle is really nagging at me, though. I just can't lose it like I used to. Used to I could just cut out bread, pasta, and sweets, and that would do it. But now, that doesn't do the trick :-(
I am NOT a beauty shop gal. That's why I let my hair go gray when I cut it short. I dyed it again last week first time in a long time. Doing exactly what you want with your body and clothing and hair - yeah, liberating. I cannot liberate myself from makeup.
The last time I had a pedicure (about ten years ago) I got a terrible case of athlete's foot that required actually taking oral medicine to finally get rid of. That was my last trip to a "spa", needless to say.
I don't dye my grey hair, rarely wear make up anymore and I *refuse* to wear pointy uncomfortable shoes. I think it's called gaining wisdom LOL
