High maintenance

I just realized today that I've become high maintenance. Nearly every other day, I'm at the indoor tanning place, working on getting a teeny bit of color before I go to Honduras. Yesterday, I put down money for another month AND bought some more of that special lotion one must use.

Today, I had a cut and weave, which I do every couple of months, now. I keep it my natural color, just with most of the gray gone. Fortunately it's somewhere between wavy and curly, so I can just style it with my fingers. Lots of scrunching.

And then there are the nails -- every three weeks, like clockwork. I'll have the toes done before we go to Honduras, because flip-flops are the standard there. Can't be having raggedy feet!

And make-up. I wear make-up all the time now. Mainly the eyes. I only do foundation and blush for going out. And I'm really bad at remembering lip color. I usually just use a colored gloss for everyday.

Used to just pull my hair back in a braid and go. How times have changed!

But you're pretty, no matter what you do. I'm glad that runs in the family!

Mom, I'm glad you've gotten higher maintenance. It shows you care about how you look!
