Yesterday was mother’s day here so I eased off on a little and let Thomas take a lead role in parenting duties: all the nappies, cooking, wiping, bathing, preening, feeding, getting ready to go out were taken, mostly, out of my control! I didn't have to ask...he just did it - lovely to have a break! I sat out in the sunshine a little and painted my toe nails and my daughters first time - It's lovely to have a daughter to do girly things with. I am not a high maintenance kind of girl but i do like to paint my nails now and then and put on a little makeup on most days - just a bit of light definition - and not just for the benefit of the people who meet me - it makes me feel a bit more awake, ready and girly. A few weeks ago i got my hair done for the summer and felt very pampered. It cost a small mortgage (twice the price of a UK hairdresser but that's how hairdressers roll here) and, at the moment, this is just about the only thing I pay for when it comes to self maintenance. I went to a new local Salon, in a boat house, by the river in Umeå ( http://test.harizont.com/?page_id=127 ), which was great to support and chatted to a really nice hairdresser about loads of stuff and left with a free goody bag. I look forward to returning in the Autumn! It's good to have a treat like this and reaffirm your girlyness or women hood once in a while!...even if it cost allot of pengars and you look crazy in the process!
FOR ALL THE GIRLs, WOMEN & MOTHERs!
