Beauty Boot Camp 2009

Early springtime, and that means its Beauty Boot Camp phase 1 season for me! Here is my list of accomplishments thusfar. Remember, phase 1 is moreso preparation than result driven!

- Started using sensodyn to prepare my sensitive teeth for whitening. The full whitening will take place in phase 3. Before the whitening, and after the month of sensodyne is a trip to the dentist to get a full on cleaning.

- Got my hair colored and lightened. It won’t really be the color I want until june-ish, but by then the weather will be warm enough to offset the lighter color with some sun.

- Got some Patricia Wexler at home microdermabrasion, again DIY style.

- Got some Surgicream hair removal for my ‘stache, again DIY style.

- Started using my Jergin’s gradual tanning daily moisturizer. I don’t want to suddenly be ‘orange’ with a full on spray tan, so first phase consists of a gradual color application, like the Jergins, which allows minimal streaking and just a touch of color to kind of transition into full spray tan mode. Plus it’s cheap, and I can DIY it.

- Increased my cardio per week. Time to work on burning off the cold weather comfort food weight gain. And I’ve gained around 15 lbs since last summer. Can you believe it? Believe it.

- Make last minute appointments to get my spider veins zapped with Sclerotherapy. Since these are small veins, they will heal in about 4 weeks, so good maintenance and will not be bruised by warm weather months.

- Started swapping out my winter cozy scents around the house with fresh and revitalizing springtime scents, more in the fruity zones rather than the spice realms.

and there you go, phase 1 almost is coming to wraps, and preparing for phase 2.
