Vanity, Thy Name Is . . .

. . . well, . . . me . . . these days.

Today, as every Thursday for the previous three weeks, I'm heading to the Day Spa for my 11:00 a.m. appointment with Angie for my microdermabrasion treatment.     Or, in easier to explain terms, having your face bombarded with a contraption that resembles a sandblasting tool, shooting out tiny grains of a sand-like substance, only to have it then vacuumed off with a suction device that feels as if it is pulling your skin off of your skull in a way that would make even the Marquis de Sade proud.

The sessions last for approximately just over an hour, as the process is repeated three times each visit.     After six consecutive weekly sessions, then you are "allowed" to reduce your sessions to once a month for maintenance.     And, at $75.00 a session plus tip, once a month sounds like a bargain!

When I scheduled my first appointment, Angie and I discussed what I expected and why I wanted the treatments, and she was curious as to why I would feel I needed the treatments at my age.     When I asked what she meant, she said she didn't see any real problems, other than a few freckles that may be a bit darker than others (my Irish heritage showing) from some sun exposure, and said she usually didn't have clients as young as me.     I asked how old she thought I was, and she told me what she thought.     She was off by ten years!

Perhaps at that point I could have said, "Well, maybe you're right.     Maybe I don't need the treatments."    But, that only solidified the reasoning for having the treatments.     If I already look ten years younger than my age, and I refresh my skin with the microdermabrasion, I can fool Mother Nature (and everyone else) for many more years to come.     (Thank you, Daddy for these wonderful Irish genes!)
