A Blessed Wednesday of Self-Care ✨

Happy Wednesday, SugaPops! 💕

Today turned out to be such a surprisingly beautiful day. I started off with work in the morning, and around 1:15 I left for my mammogram appointment. Now, let’s be real—mammogram appointments are not something I ever get excited about. Usually, I go just to appease my doctor, check it off my list, and move on.

But today? Something was different.

This appointment was at a new location (still Lenox Hill Radiology, just not my usual spot), and the technician I had was absolutely amazing. From the moment she greeted me, she was kind, sweet, and so empowering. I loved her energy completely! She even mentioned it was her birthday today, which made it feel even more special. I wish I had caught her name (the memory at 45 can be a little tricky! 😂), but I’m going to check my chart so I can remember her.

Mammograms have never really hurt me, but they’ve also never been something I looked forward to. Today, though, was the first time it felt like a truly positive experience. May everyone’s mammogram technician be as wonderful as the woman I had today.

After my appointment, I decided to take my daughter’s advice. She got her hair done yesterday—trimmed and colored, and it looked absolutely beautiful. She told me, “Mom, you should get your hair done too.” And you know what? She was right. Since I wasn’t exactly thrilled about my mammogram, I thought—why not treat myself afterward?

So, I did. 🙌🏾

Shoutout to Ofelia (you can find her on Instagram!) for blessing my hair today. She trimmed away the dead ends, brought life back to my strands, and left me feeling fresh and confident. My hair looks healthy and vibrant again, and I couldn’t stop smiling walking out of the salon.

When I got home, I kept the self-care going. I took a lovely shower and wrapped myself in a towel that had been warmed up in my towel warmer (highly recommend, by the way—such a small luxury but makes a big difference). It truly felt like a reset day, even though I started it off at work.

Now I’m here, cooking dinner. I had planned to make pork loin ramen, but I forgot to put the pork loin in the slow cooker this morning. Oops! 😅 Don’t worry though—it’s on high now, and in about 20–30 minutes, dinner will be ready.

All in all, today was such a blessed day. A mix of responsibility, self-care, and little joys that left me feeling grateful.

So if your 40 and up schedule your Mammograms

So yeah, happy Wednesday, loves. 💖 How was your day, SugaPops? 😘
