The most amazing thing happened to me the other day. I realized that I needed to slow down, this very hectic, demanding life I live, to "stop and smell the roses". And while I was at it, get a pedicure, manicure, hairdo, a really nice bubble bath and a few brand new nighties ( oh, one can never have enough panties, or so my mother always says). A cucumber mask and a few hair highlights wouldn't hurt. And to top it all off,a triple brownie hotfudge sundae. These are the moments that make life bearable. The important thing is to make time for you, pamper and cherish yourself, otherwise life will run you down( and sometimes it can be physcially seen) . When we look and feel our best, we not only feel good but are enabled to do our best. Everyday we are responsible for the care of so many people and tasks. Sometimes we have to be pampered (after all we are Queens, that's in the contract!!!
