Isn't is wonderful how a little self pampering can put a lift in your step?
I usually take the inexpensive route and color my own hair.......nothing fancy, a little L'Oreal or Nice and Easy in a warm shade of brown......
But my hair had gotten so long and I was just dreading the whole process. So I made an appointment with my hair stylist and had it done professionally. What a treat!
I did take my my own books to look through while I waited for the color to set. But, for a little levity, I ended up browsing through the gossip magazines the salon provides loaded with photos of Hollywood's finest in their skimpiest swimsuits displaying their plastic surgeon's latest work...such a fantasy world they live in...
Now the gray has magically disappeared, I feel 10 years younger....well, maybe 5....
I left the salon a new woman........I feel rested........refreshed and I'm walking a little lighter in my shoes. I hope this feeling lasts a few days anyway.......maybe it will get me through to spring! :-)
Joy in a little self pampering!

So glad you were able to pamper yourself! You deserve it! Got to go to Walmart to get ingredients for peanut butter fudge. Your a bad influence. Ha ha! Have a wonderful weekend.

ReplyDeleteThank you eddunsmore and Faith! :-)
ReplyDeleteA little pampering does feel good doesn't it? I love to get my haircut and feel someone else brushing my hair and playing with it--one of the most relaxing things. I color my own hair too but it's short so no biggie just lather it up, wait and jump in the shower to rinse the stuff off. Glad you were able to enjoy being pampered a bit, you deserve it. Have a fun, relaxing weekend. :)
ReplyDeleteHope the weather has gotten better over there. We had mostly blue skies today and temps were nice.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a morning person but that first cup of coffee sure is good. Once I'm up, I'm good to go! But I sure do like those days when I don't have to be on a schedule.
I love going to my hairdresser. She is from the States and used to work for L'oreal -- she has a salon in her apartment which is not even 10 minutes away by car. I used to wait a whole year to get my hair cut each summer in the States -- but now I pamper myself every 6 weeks. Definitely needed now that those touches of gray keep popping back up. :/ Best wishes to you, Tammy
Its always a good feeling to have the hair done, I like going and having it cut and she straightens it because it feels so good and bouncy and I look totally different with straight hair lol BUT the next day Im back to my normal self because I dont have the patience to do it myself :o) Im glad you had a YOU day!
ReplyDeleteThank you Lynn, Tammy and Sharon Marie. :-) I hope everyone enjoys their weekend.
ReplyDeleteGot the fudge made wow is it delicious!
ReplyDeleteHi eddunsmore, glad you liked it and it turned out well. It's one of our favorite holiday treats. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt always feels so good to have a bit of time for pampering. The coloring I finally let go and now am mostly white. It was a bit of a transformation but I think its the right time for it, however a trim may be in order. Does feel so good. Think may find some time this week just to do that. Off for my morning coffee and prayer time. Blessings to your day.
ReplyDeleteAlittle pampering is always so nice :)
ReplyDeleteI need to get to the hairstylist soon too. Thanks to you I'm going to go this week, just knowing it will indeed pep me up just like it did for you.
ReplyDeleteHi Heather. Oh my gosh. I have been putting off getting my hair done for way to long! I just hate sitting. It does feel nice when its all done. Must make an appointment. So happy to see you at Tangled Happy! I am always happy to hear from new visitors. Hope to see you often. :)
