If there’s one thing that us women can all agree on, it’s that we are ALWAYS maintaining ourselves – lashes, nails, hair, sugaring, waxing, you name it, we do it! Whether we feel we are maintaining some unattainable societal standard of beauty or not, at the end of the day, we do it for OURSELVES! (I don’t know about you, but I know I certainly feel a helluva lot sexier after saying “bonjour!” to my Sugar Ninja and say “au revoir” to my muff). While the calendar may say otherwise, Winter is here (UGH) and, as your friendly neighbourhood Sugar Pot blogger, I’m here to remind you that the holiday season is just around the corner. So, listen up ladies: it’s time to schedule some self-care/self-love into your calendar!
Do yourselves a favour: don’t get caught waiting last minute to get in with your esthetician. The holiday season is a busy time for the beauty industry, so it’s not as easy to hit your girl up and say “can you squeeze me in?” – be respectful and mindful of their time and book in advance to ensure you get that little bit of TLC that you need. Whether your holiday prep involves a lash lift, brow tint, or full-on landing strip, make the time for it! While the holidays are all about spending time with the ones you love, spend some time showing yourself some love too, okay girl? We all want you to show up to that office holiday party feeling smooth, fresh, and flawless!
If you’re someone who likes to swap Calgary’s frigid temperatures for something a little more tropical, you may want to consider seeing your fav esthetician before you leave, too. PRO TIP: Prep as close to your departure date as possible!! I speak from experience – taking a razor to the bikini line while on holidays was the biggest regret of my life, and that says a lot for a 90’s kid who fell victim to the then-trendy hairstyle of cutting two strands of hair as “bangs” to frame your face.. Maintaining ourselves is just as important as those extra five pairs of underwear we pack “just in case”. Want to ditch the efforts of applying makeup every day while on vacation? Treat yourself to a lash & brow lift/tint! Not only will your skin thank you for the makeup vacation, but you can say “I woke up like this” and mean it!
This holiday season, just ask yourself: WWBD – What Would Beyoncé Do? She would obviously invest in making herself feel #Flawless! So – get out there you little Beyoncé Queens and show yourself some LOVE!
