Yoga was tough today. All around. It was definitely a day I felt like I might just have to NOT do one more forearm plank. The message was good though, it was all about how uncomfortable any change was, and how even the changes you want to make, need to make, or are otherwise totally welcome, come with the uncomfortableness of making the change and losing your old patterns. We all gravitate toward what we know, good or bad, and that makes the "new" inherently tougher to embrace. It was a good reminder, and I for one need constant reminders.
The big news....I've got an appointment for microblading Saturday morning. I'm super excited, and I'm really, REALLY hoping that it looks ok. In my head it'll be great because my brows will always be perfect--no maintenance needed. As it is now, I usually grab my eyebrow pencil and do them in the car rearview mirror at a stoplight and then inevitably they look a little wonky in some way or another. Maybe if we did them in a real mirror each morning and took some time it would be fine, but that NEVER happens. So here's to hoping they will look amazing. Downside is that you aren't suppose to do any super sweaty workouts for 4 days (so no hot yoga), AND they look freakishly dark the first few days until they flake off and mellow out. So it may not be my best looking weekend unfortunately, but that's the price. Come Tuesday or Wednesday though, look out...I'll keep you posted.
Lastly, my mission is to start stock piling light and airy things for summer that will protect my skin. We're going to Greece and Turkey, and it's going to be warm and sunny--really warm, and really sunny. I'm not sure if its and age thing or what, but last summer was a freaky intro into pigment malfunction. I do not need even ONE more sunspot, and I've now spent all winter trying to get rid of them so I'm going to do everything short of carry around an umbrella this summer (and I'm not even totally opposed to that). I'm looking to find light and airy
fabrics, with as much coverage as possible, AND hats. The new Margaret O'Leary skirt caught my eye--perfect example of coverage, yet light and airy. I also want one of the Shebobo hats (super silly name, cute hats). I'm going to pop that brim out and protect my face (along with 10 layer of SPF). I'll admit, I'm super jealous of all the women I see who have gorgeous olive skin and tan perfectly the second they are out in the sun. I'm just a sea of sun spot freckles. Ugh.
