Indulgence

Yup! i've been spotting a new look for pretty long so figured it's time to change my photo on my blog. Finally got sick of my long straight hair about 2 months ago so i asked the hairstylist to suggest something different.

I wasn't actually thinking about curling at all. Din wanna dye my hair cos i hate it when the black roots start growing out so i thought maybe i'll cut it short. The hairstylist then persuaded me to do a ceramic perm instead since my hair was sorta at the right length now. He said if i cut it short, i may hafta wait a long while before i can attempt perming. Oh whatever... so i emptied almost 200 bucks outta my bank account instead of 20 which is what i would've paid if i stuck to just cutting my hair short.

yeah yeah... i know i'm so easily persuaded... so weak-minded...

anyway, i kinda like this new look. So far, reviews have been ok too... except now i hafta take extra care of my hair. You won't believe this but i hafta wash my scalp and the dry ends of my hair with 2 different shampoos, slather on rinse-off conditioner at the ends, apply moisturizing mousse and blow dry my hair before i leave the house. What a bother right? well... see how long i manage to sustain this. If you see me with frizzy cannot-make it hair one day, u'll know tt i've gotten lazy and ditched all these high-maintenance stuff and please, pretty please, remind me to go cut the curls away. haha!

More on my vanity...

Went for this foot reflexology thingy in Beijing and the supposed-to-be expert mentioned that i've some calluses and hard skin on my sole. He said they prevent toxins from dispersing outta my body (??) so i should try to get rid of them. Don't really believe that la... but i decided to take more care of my feet and get rid of the calluses anyway. Anyway, like many magazines advised, we depend so much on our feet so it's always right to give them a nice treat when we get home. So there... now i hafta file my feet and scrub it hard at least twice a week and apply moisturizer every night before i sleep!

Also signed up for a spa package... consisting of body massage, scrub and steam bath each session. It's totally relaxing and helps me get rid of those tight muscles after a long week's hardwork.

Not to mention those frequent shopping sprees to upgrade my wardrobe and shoe rack!

Absolute indulgence for the financially-abled women of this age huh? I think i've fallen too deep into the trap... the lures of the expensive lifestyle. It's so difficult to get out once we've stepped in. sigh...
