I got a pedicure because I will be wearing sandals. That’s it. I don’t need to “prep” for vacations.
I used to be young and poor and have been late on a bill before. I’ve never heard of anyone having their electricity shut off due to being a week or two late. Must be some strict utility company!
Depending on the trip I may get some new clothes and shoes. I try to get a haircut two weeks before a trip because that's usually when my hair looks at its best. I do my own nails. My eyebrows are apparently a wonder of nature and don't need a thing ever, not even so much as a pencil.
I have to come home to a clean house or I will be cranky and it will spoil all of my happy vacation glow.
I'm so jealous of your brow situation! I can put on a full face of makeup (I don't contour much or anything fancy) in much less time than I can do my freaking brows. I have a scar on one side that I'm self conscious about so it's not really something I want to skip.
I actually feel as I get into bed for every vacation—Is it all worth it? I even have a passing feeling of not wanting to go. I asked dh if he ever feels that. He said, “Yes. There’s a lot of s*** to get done.” Going is always worth it, but the self care is the vacation. It doesn’t start until I’m on holiday.What's self-care? lol
As a mom of 4 I spend the days leading up to vacation doing laundry, packing clothes for the boys, myself, and DH. Working a full time job, doing the weekly commitments (scouts, etc.), cooking, tidying up the house, and then IF I have time I might paint my toe nails. Really, I'm just happy if my clothes and toiletries make it to the vacation.
Apparently my brows are my good feature. I shall brag about them to make sure their self esteem stays healthy.

I’m actually trying to get away with dh for a night next weekend. We’ve been so busy and with my dd’s new school schedule, we have not vacationed enough this year. It’s taking moving heaven and earth to make it happen. But I’ll do it because it’s good for us.
