Some of you may cringe at the sight of needles and frankly… I don’t do well with them either.
EXAMPLE NUMERO UNO
Every time I have to get a blood draw for health reasons, I implore the nurse to know that without fail, if she (or he) decides to keep me upright, that it will indubitably ensure my limp body will collapse to that bland white linoleum tile flooring below me there, under that school desk we call a professional medical chair, and I just don’t know how long it will be until I wake up. Although, in the past smelling salts and those Hershey’s Gold Nugget chocolates seemed to work quite well! Brought me right back! Who doesn’t love chocolate! Am I right? Freaking Yum!
Except when I’m getting plugged with fillers! What?

Circling back. Ah. Gotcha. You know, the cow botulism! At least that’s what I think it is. Hmmm. I actually don’t care what it is; I just LOVE it’s fountain-of-youth effects. And before you so kindly think, “but Rita, you are already so youthful in appearance” (*curtsy, thank you to a lifetime of exercise and fairly good habits for that), I hate wrinkles or the parts of the face that do that slight dip bc the collagen wants to run away. Now, I’ve had a procedure called Ultherapy and I wish they did it at more day spas because – the short and sweet version – that procedure takes ten years off your face – practically – instantaneously! And that one can be done annually, or every three years.
I’m overdue.
For me, doing these things to myself – while some people think it’s absolutely nuts – I look at it as a form of self care and really self love. If I feel good about myself AND can stave off the aging process…. well, HELL! I’MA KICKING BUTT!
DON’T get me wrong. There are people out there who have treated their minds and bodies horribly who do these procedures too. But, I feel it shows. Like no matter what they’ve done to “fix” the vanity issue on the surface, it’s prevalent that there is more going on underneath. DRINK YOUR WATER, PEOPLE! EAT SOME VEGGIES!
No bandaids!
Exactly.
