Omg may you are too funny. And guess what? I also got Botox for the first time after BD!!! Lol!!!! Although I didn’t plan on doing it, I was in the drs office for a laser skin treatment, but they ended up recommending Botox also. I was feeling brave so I agreed. I have to say I’m not a big fan of it yet, my forehead area sure felt kind of strange for a few weeks lol. But I totally am there with you that I wanted to do something for myself. It is superficial and shallow? Sure. Can the money be used somewhere else with more significance? I think that question itself is you judging your own decision. Doing something good (donating money to a cause) and self-care are not mutually exclusive. It’s not either or. You can do both. It’s like feeling guilty buying a $7 latte. You shouldn’t feel guilty. It’s your own money, do what you want with it. The value you derive from it will not be the same for somebody else. You are caring way too much about how he’d perceive it. (Wasn’t the whole point for you to do something for yourself and not care what he thinks?)
I told my H about the laser skin treatment (couldn’t hide it really, i had scarring on my face in the beginning) but I didn’t tell him about the Botox. But I also didn’t tell any of my girlfriends. I was a little embarrassed and I didn’t want to be perceived as one of those women on real housewives (which I am so not lol!!!). But frankly it’s nobody’s business. I don’t feel guilty for not telling him, and I don’t think there is a need to tell him. If one day he notices and asks I will go with the flow and let him know. I think of it as...if you buy a really expensive moisturizer, would you give that much thought about whether you should tell your H about it or not? If money is not an issue, who cares? Pamper yourself. Love yourself the way that you want to. It’s probably safer to go to a drs office for Botox than going to a grocery store anyway. Ha.
Another thing I kinda wanna try is eyelash extensions. But I think there’s a lot of maintenance and upkeep and I’m too lazy for that.
I’m so glad we’re talking about something fun for us ladies!! Lol!!
