Getting in touch with my Inner Girl.

There's no ill a hot bubble bath with peppermint oil (for lightening the mood and clearing the head) and a chat with your mum can't cure. And if there is, a good hot cup of tea will see it off. ;)

Especially when said bath is had in conjunction with the cleansing face masque, removal of the stubble from your legs, and doing the first coat of your nails. I would have added a glass of red wine, only I have enough trouble putting on nail polish straight in the first place, and who knows where it might have ended up. Just too bad I never have any nails to speak of, what with karate and their habit of breaking once they reach a certain length. And I don't like those stick-ons - that's getting too damn fussy, if you ask me.

Just about to do the second coat, having had dinner (early, but then again I didn't have lunch). It's this lovely bloody shade of dark red, perfect for this character I'm getting into tonight. The preparation is actually becoming a bit of a production, but I'm enjoying it. It's been so long since I last put this kind of effort into what I looked like, and even though it's for a costume, not actually me, it's still gratifying.

Besides, I need to feel good about myself, and looking damn good is part of it.

*giggles* The sight of my nails on the keyboard is very distracting - they're all red and shiny...

Hmm, ought to get to that second coat, and then get dressed. Later, all.

Have you ever tryed miscable Lavender oil in the bath?
It's great for head aches. I very rarely get the chance to get all dolled up though!
Have a good time!

*nods* I have indeed used lavender before - it's what I use to de-stress. Peppermint to wake up, lavender to wind down. :)
