Sorting myself out

Saturday, November 10, 2007

I must admit during the period of my pregnancy, I felt totally inadequate. I had limited clothes to wear to start with. Let's face it, maternity clothes aren't the fanciest you can find. Plus they're terribly overpriced so I didn't wanna buy too many. Shoes wise, I was wearing what i term as 'auntie' shoes. No heels whatsoever, just boring, ugly maternity shoes.

Now that it's all over and done with, I'm slowly ironing out my so-called inadequacies. I've started going back for my facials. I also spent a bomb on my skincare products which now comprise some extra items for eyecare (I'm worried I'm gonna have a perpetual 'panda-eyed' look). I did some massages (post natal ones as well as a relaxing back massage), bought new clothes (because I couldn't fit into most of my clothes anymore!) and finally today, got a much needed hair treatment and a trim too.

I cleared out my shoe racks and wardrobes. My next mission is to clear up some junks I've been keeping for years. I've changed from being a 'collector' to a minimalist. I now subscribe to the belief that less is more. I'm really into a spring-cleaning mood in the last couple of weeks. Only thing is, it isn't easy with baby around. I just can't get things done in one straight sitting.

I guess the clearing up will be an on-going project for me. But for today, it's time to call it a night.

Things will get better.. and you'll find a routine.. that you and baby will be comfy with. I think after having a baby.. we are all minimalist.. :)
