• i tattooed my face

   I've always been really self conscious of my spider veins on my legs, but never resolved to actually take action until there was a 50% off coupon for vein treatment on Groupon.  Oh, Groupon, how you have changed my life!  I took the plunge and went last month for my first round.  It was super easy.  The aesthetician just gave me 1/2 a million little injections all over my legs where the veins where showing.  I had to wear these god-awful support tights for 2 weeks, but the difference I noticed was worth it.  I felt so empowered! I scheduled my next appointment and added on "micro-pigmentation" aka tattoo. 

  I've always loved this one mole on my face.  In dance in college I used to darken it for good luck.  I half planned to go and get it darkened for my 30th birthday, but what with all the funerals and drama it didn't happen.  I'm so glad I waited and went here.  Darkening your mole is just like dying your hair!  They blend colors, match your skin tone, apply and voila!  Then, for a while, it is really dark and then settles a bit.

  

  There you have it.  I think this marks a new era of confidence and happiness.  I used to be pretty harsh and judgmental of people who "got stuff done."  Now, I really don't care.  Within the limits of sanity, safety and fiscal responsibility people should just do what makes them happy.  I think I can credit my attitude change to the pilgrimage in Japan 2 years ago.  I learned to give myself a break.
  Mole time!
