Superman is pretty sure I've lost my mind...

Well, I mean, I guess I did for a minute...

But...

In the eight years we have been married,

I rarely got my hair cut,

I kept it long, long, long...

I rarely did my hair in anything other than a wet bun or ponytail.

I stopped dying my hair the month before we got married.

When Phil and I met, my hair was short and bleached blond.

When we got married, 

my hair was shoulder length and brown.

I rarely wore make-up.

I would put on the occasional mascara and eyeshadow,

I never wore base or concealer, etc.

I never spent any money on nice make-up...

I never did spa treatments of any kind.

mani-pedi's

facials

etc.

It was never from a lack of want.

I love love love beauty treatments, 

lol!

Especially when there are good results of beauty.

Still I never did any of these things.

I worried about a lack of money to spend on these things,

and I worried about the effect they might have on future babies,

current babies,

or nursing babies.

For the last eight years there has always been that baby possibility.

So I avoided any and all chemicals.

I was hard pressed to even take Tylenol for crying out loud.

I am sure that any of said beauty treatments would have been fine to undergo,

but I still refrained.

There was too much worry that went along with them.

So now.

I am not pregnant,

I am not nursing,

I don't have any current babies,

I don't plan to have any future babies...

At least not for a few years,

and then only if I can convince Superman to have another.

So without that worry...

Beauty treatments have become a possibility.

I want massages,

I want facials,

I want to cut my hair to my hearts content.

I want to dye my hair,

I want to paint my fingernails,

I want to buy lots of clothes because I know that next year they will still fit me.

I want to buy expensive make-up and facial care products.

Not because I've gone crazy,

but because any reason I ever had to avoid these things are gone.

There is no reason not to...

:D
