The mornings are brighter, the evenings a little longer. It is time for us to defrost, leave hibernation and evaluate the person standing in front of the mirror – Yes, Its Spring.
So here I am sat on my laptop in a corner of the salon which is currently having a paint job and a face lift of its own and I find myself doing just that, analysing my exterior! WHAT HAPPENED I cry inside?
My six pack is heavily snuggled beneath a layer of winter feasting, pale is not the word – 50 shades of beige springs to mind. 3 months of hiding away eating carbs and drinking far too much red wine has left my skin and face looking like the Churchill dog!
And now suddenly I’m meant to be ‘summer ready’ or have a beach body. This brings me to my feet… hard skin and quite frankly a sight that make mice throw themselves onto the trap. Is all this starting to sound familiar?? It’s time to take drastic action.
Enter…. The Creations Glam Squad (Heather and Louise).
First step. Hair!
As I write this blog I am sat having my own hair done (a real treat). People assume us ‘lucky’ stylists can get our hair done on tap…. If only we cry!
Having just had one of our busiest few weeks I truly was in dire need of a little spruce up. (Well full maintenance and magic wand treatment). Sitting here looking at my pale slightly rounded post winter blues face I feel lost for inspiration. After all im no David Beckham.
There is a point to all my goings on I promise…. And it’s a simple one.
Having your hair done is and should be one of the greatest feeling. To be enjoyed at every step from the shampoo, the coffee, head massage and inspiration. Heather works her magic and I am left feeling spruced up and dare I say, rather dapper!
Next step… Beauty. Louise transforms my mono brow into 2 perfectly formed eyebrows. A microdermabrasion facial follows, buffing and plumping my fine lines and leaving my skin glowing. Looking about 12 years of age (if only) she then sets to work on my feet! Having just taken stock of a new callous peel treatment Louise sets to work and I am left floating.
I guess the answer is simple, don’t like what’s in the mirror? Change! Next week I even start an 8 week boot camp with the lovely people at Core Fitness, god help them!
