I'm Doing This For Me, Because I'm Worth It

I got my hair highlighted and colored. Not too much of a change, just a little lighter. I took a picture but didn't like the lighting. Hopefully I will get another picture of me. My husband loved the change. That's a positive.

When I do myself up on the 29th I will have my husband take a picture and I will try very, very, hard not to critique it and just put it on here.

Today I did wear lipstick and somewhat did my hair. I also bought new hair care products that were a bit pricey but I know I like them and I hadn't had them in forever. I'm trying very hard to accept how I look and not beat myself up. It didn't work too well today. At least I am still thinking hopeful or I wouldn't have bothered with the hair products.

Here is a picture of me with my son hovering in the back ground. We did one with just me but I think I look happier in this picture as my son is messing with me.

Oops forgot the picture. lol Freudian slip?

Not sure why it loaded sideways.

I bought colorful shoes, blue and yellow, to work out in. And I bought decent headphones to listen to the tv or music with while working out. My working out is walking on a treadmill. But it's a start...as soon as I start it that is. ;)

Yesterday I ordered berry colored wedge pumps. I think they will be very cute with plain jeans and a simple top and then can also be used for a little black dress (if I ever have the bravery to wear one).

Today I am going to get my eyebrows waxed. Just in time for school starting tomorrow.

I've been doing lots of self care and looking after myself.

I am still going to aqua fit, which I love. I started swimming but because I swim like a startled turtle (head out of water) it hurt my neck. At the gym, there is a lovely member of staff who does swimming lessons. She is going to give me some help next Wednesday.

I've also enjoyed treating myself to new shoes and sandals. I am also going to buy another swimsuit and some cropped trousers for going to Florida at the end of Feb.

I found a fabulous pair of shoes, clogs, that are not in my budget. So my husband said, at my suggestion, that if I lose 10 lbs we can buy them. I hope I can do so. I think they are wonderful!

So happy I got my eyebrows done. So much better looking.

@Britt.f7 I've never really been into clogs. My mother loves them and always tried to get me to wear them when younger. I love boots, flats and wedges.

These one's look like boots under pants. Dead Link Removed

I like shoes I can slip in and out of. :) Oh, yes, those are the shoes I am in love with right now!

My fingernails are in a terrible state. I don't bite them but I have ridges running from nail end to root. This causes weakness and the nails split down these ridges to where the nail is attached. I am going to call in at my hairdresser and see the lady who does nails and see if she can do anything to help.

I have 5 weeks before my Florida holiday, and I'd like nicer painted nails.

I got my new shoes yesterday. They came really fast!

175 dollar shoes, that I got on sale. :D They are comfortable and very cute. The heel isn't too big or too small and the color makes them really stylish. When I put them on with the skinny jeans I was wearing my husband said they are really nice and cute. Which is odd for him because normally if I wear heels he asks me why I am wearing them mostly becasue I tend to walk awkwardly. But these are so cute and they fit great. I am able to walk with no issues.

I hope I can wear them soon. It's still a bit to cold for pumps right now. I have seen some women at the nail salon wearing pumps, very glamorous women. Not sure how they could stand the cold.
