check that off the list

Today I ventured a little further into physical maintenance... If I am guzzling green juice and attempting to stick with yoga, I figured I might as well dabble a bit further into self improvement.  So I booked a mega-peel at the medi spa down our street.  I just got home from this appointment.

First off, a Dutch mega-peel is the equivilant of microdermabrasion in the states.  Never having it there, I really didn't know what to expect... but I had somehow conjured up visions of an intense, yet still enjoyable facial.  I have read about the procedure, and I guess all the talk about the "little crystals dancing across the face" really lulled me into some serious optimism.

Ummmm... ouch!  The reality is that a mega-peel is just about as bad as it sounds.  Kind of like industrial grade sandpaper is quickly being swished across your face in short little bursts.  My eyes watered - nonstop.  I had to enlist some breathing techniques to get me through a few spots.  And although I am very pink at the moment, I am still hopeful that this will be a miracle procedure well worth the discomfort (and disrobing!)
