Ok so I've been wanting to make this thread for a while. I've also been wanting to start a "random thoughts" thread...but I figured I'd separate the categories so that at least the "beauty" one is on the front page, rather than hidden in off topic. So, have a beauty-related thought but don't think it's worth starting a thread about ? Post it here !

 

today I got a facial at an extraordinarily nice spa. A real treat. And the results were immediate and truly great. But guys: she pulled out a clarisonic and a foamy cleanser for that first initial cleanse, and I nearly had a heart attack. Great for a lot of people but most of you know how I feel about those things !!!!!! Overall, as I said, it was great and my skin is happy. But sheesh.

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY

I certainly didn't think I was going into a facial involving one. I'm paying her the hands of the facialist ! But then again I also believe a tool like a clarisonic should be used by professionals rather than consumers, if at all. Heck, I dunno, I don't love them, and I'd have been PISSED if the rest of the facial hadn't made up for it in its awesomeness 

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY

So after 7 years, I am divorcing my husband, and I am so relieved with my decision. I have too much I want to accomplish to be in a meh relationship. So two great things are happening because of it:

 

1. I am buying a house for me and my two pooches (pic below)

2. I am going on a women-only hiking trip to Spain over Christmas

 

I am now going to do all the things I have put off because my husband wasn't interested.

 

Did I mention I'm going to raise chickens, too? It's a horse property (I'm not getting a horse), so it's zoned for livestock.

 

So exciting!

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY

That house is amazing! I'm sure there are many women who are in your position and are too scared to move on. I applaud you for being brave enough to do what's best for you and what will make YOU happy! Girl Power 🙂 

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY

Thank you! I feel very strong!

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY

Best of luck and what a beautiful home! You will be (and probably already are), an inspiration to others! 🙂

Every time a story ends, a new exiting chapter of life opens up before you! I hope you find everything you are looking for as you set out afresh to explore and adventure! 🙂

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY

I love the exterior design elements of your new house, and wherever you live seems to have gorgeous weather! The quality of the light in the picture is very atmospheric- it reminds me mediterranean sunshine 🙂  

 

I wish you happiness in your new abode, as well as many exciting new adventures.

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY

Thank you!

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY

Your new home is so cute and cozy looking!

 

Here's to new beginnings.  I wish you a lifetime of happiness from this moment forward. 😉

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY

Aw, thanks!

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY

Life is too short to be unhappy! Your new home is adorable...you will love a home that is all yours!

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY

My divorce was the best decision of my life.  I always say that we only mourn what we wish we'd had not what we did have.  Onward and up...you'll do great!

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY

Thank you so much!

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY

While I am sure it was a difficult decision, I'm so happy that you are happier because of it and freer to do what you love!

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY

Here's to new beginnings... cheers!

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY

I'm happy to hear that you have so many great things to look forward to!  Here's to owning a great piece of real estate, a fantastic trip to Spain, chickens (and fresh eggs?!), and many more exciting experiences to come!  🙂

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY

As hard as this must be, I'm happy for you and your future. While I have not been married, I have been in a completely draining and unfulfilling relationship for 4 years, so on a lesser sense, I understand how much of a relief it will be to finally breathe and find passion again. 

 

The house looks lovely. And hiking in Spain sounds fantastic!

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY

Your words are exactly how I have felt for 7 years. I was tired and frustrated most of the time. And by the end, I just wanted to run screaming from the house. Now I feel very much at peace. And I actually feel grateful.

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY

This is a positive and inspiring change for you! I'm happy for you! I love the stones on your home too, and am envious that it's zoned for chickens! Eggs are so healthy! I bet you'll see positive changes in your health and appearance once you've really had time to settle into your new life!

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY

That's awesome lecia!  Congrats on getting your life back.  That house is beautiful!
