A Gift to Yourself

Not long ago, I was looking at some old pictures.

Lovely overalls and short hair, right?  I thought that would hide the baby weight I was still carrying.  I guess I was wrong.  And I always heard if you want to look thinner, put a baby on your hip.  That wasn't working either.  Or maybe the 10 pounds the camera adds was counter-balanced by Elizabeth as a baby on my hip.  Either way, none of it was working.

But what I really noticed and want to take a minute to discuss are my eyebrows.  Wow, they are huge, right?  Back then, all I did was pluck the strays underneath and between them.  This was obviously before I had them professionally shaped.

About 10 years ago, I finally wised up and got them shaped.  And they look so much better now.

(I'm in a beachy mood and would like to be at the beach, so I went back and found a beach picture to show you...... man, I'm not a fan of the cold....)

I knew my big, bushy eyebrows always bothered me and with the gene pool Elizabeth was coming from hers would bother her too.... one day.

Last year when Elizabeth mentioned wanting to do something about her brows, I knew I needed to take action.  So, first we just took care of the strays, but I knew she was wanting more.  So, a few months ago I asked her if she would like to go to my brow girl and get hers shaped.  She jumped at the chance.

I called, made the appointment and now she loves her brows......

I love how our brows look so neat now..... and they frame our faces.... and they aren't the first things you notice anymore.

We are not big makeup girls.... I don't wear much at all and Elizabeth very rarely wears it.  So, getting our brows done are the one little "happy" we do for ourselves.

What's one little "happy" you do for yourself?
