Birthday Makeover

Today is day 26 on my workout makeover...... But yesterday I got a hair makeover!
:-)
For Christmas my wonderful hubby got me a gift card to this real "classy" place where I got manicure and pedicure~ both as a spa. Being the sweetheart he is, he also purchased the same treatment for Gesa. Gesa is a older German lady who is a BIG part of our Ministry... She is awesome, a hard worker, blunt, heart of gold and frugal. She would never purchase such luxury on herself, but deserves every minute of luxury! So, Sim surprised her with gift card to Malia, for a all out day of pampering! We went together a last month and let me tell you........ I felt like royalty! We sat on this high, silk, cashmere, and velvet pile of cushions and pillows, or feet in porcelain jet sinks, flavor coffee in hand and great company! We sat, talked about faith about serving Him, friendship and had a massage that made me forget mid sentence with my roll my eyes in my head......
Last night I went back for part 2....... I got my hair highlighted and cut. She was amazing..... I looked in the mirror and thought....... "Who is that?" At one point when I got over the initial shock of my hair, I began to focus on my too big nose, until I noticed my smile that even reached my eyes. I ignored my nose and let the feeling of peace within my skin settle in. I had one of my teens and a woman from our women's home there in the lobby waiting. I was embarrassed yet thrilled with their faces when I walked out... I felt beautiful.
On the way home we laughed, talked about what God is doing in our lives and had a blast!
This morning I did not feel like getting up.. Was tired... But I got up anyway. I worked out this morning again (did yesterday too by the way)"walking off the pounds" I got my "Core" package today.. And am excited about working out on and with it too... Hmmmmmmmmmm I am really starting to like this workout thing!! Me who LOVES sleep.... Amazing.... There is more than just a physical makeover being done in my life!

Corina, I just found your blog. I see you on Girls Write Out often and thought I'd see what you were up to. I love this. You're honesty humbles me.

Maybe I can be inspired and get to work on myself. You go, girl!
