I'm getting a massage and a facial tomorrow and I'm kinda freaking out.
I purchased a groupon that allowed me to choose between a 90 minute massage or a 60 minute massage and facial. I really wanted to get the combo with the facial, but was really hesitant because I have no eyebrows or eyelashes. I eventually said, screw it! I don't want to NOT get to do certain things in life that I enjoy because of my stupid trich. So I made an appointment for the massage and facial.
I am so nervous though. Obviously, my fake eyelashes and eyebrow pencil are not going to hold up with everything they are going to do to my face. So what should I do??? Should I mention it before hand so that he isn't unpleasantly surprised? What would I say? "Excuse me, but just wanted to warn you that I have no eyebrows or lashes because I pull them out" lol.
I feel like I have to say something. But it's just so awkward!
I'm starting to think this was a bad idea!

Hello- I am new to the group
-
My therapist really knocked some sense into me last Friday about my spending. She said that there are needs and there are wants. She said that there is always going to be cheap stuff to buy, but do I need it? The answer is mostly "no". So today, I am taking back some things that I bought online at Kohl's, namely a 9 x 12 rug and a quilt for my bed. I also bought sheets that I don't need...
You're there for pampering!
Best wishes!
It was the most wonderful hour, incredibly relaxing and retoring.....may be time to spring for another!
