Girl talk

So... I saw D's post on in the Fellowship Lounge and I wanted to comment on hair coloring. Thought maybe we'd spare the guys that convo.

Anyway, I got my hair professionally colored for the first time this week. Dang -- it turned out really well! I can't believe that I feel better about myself because of it, but I do! I had colored my hair twice before using over-the-counter stuff. It covered the grey a little bit, but also seemed to leave my hair flat. I don't know what stuff my hair dresser uses, but it is GOOD. My hair actually *feels* and "moves" better than it did before!

Being as I am on the older side (at least, among the singles I hang out with), I was actually starting to feel embarrassed about my grey hair. Now I feel like I'm me -- only better! Anyone else feel this way about a beauty treatment? Geez, who knew?

I did the same thing a few months ago. I had some color I had bought a while back, but it doesn't expire as long as it hasn't been opened, so I went ahead and did it! (I was bored!!) I was really impressed at how good I felt!! I can't afford to have it done, but since I was a hairdresser at one time, I figured I could do it okay. My boss used Clairol in her shop, anyway, so I figured it would work!!

Yay for girly stuff!

Jen - I bet your hair looks great! Yours, too D!! Like GnG, I color my own hair. I have been doing it for 17 years (this blonde was meant to be a redhead ). My stylist says I do a great job...and everyone usually freaks out when they find out I'm not a natural redhead.

I love all things that make me feel feminine/girly. I worked for a company that has a well-known spa in Palm Beach and that was where I got initiated into the world of facials, pedicures, massages, etc. I think it's good to pamper ourselves. It de-stresses us and helps minimize the effects of aging.

I have never had a pedicure. My feet are too ticklish!

This is probably going to sound really funny - but I love to have my feet lightly tickled. It's very relaxing to me.

Yeah, that does sound funny!! It drives me absolutly bonkers!

My mom started it with me when I was little as a way to try and calm me down (I was a very, um... active... child ). She enjoys it, too, so she tried it with me and it worked.

Just one of my many quirks.

I colored my hair Red several years ago and I could not BELIEVE how many people thought it was my natural color!! I stopped doing it, because it just became a chore. I am brunette naturally. At any rate, I can testify that redheads DO indeed have more fun!!!

I have been coloring my hair off and on since I was 17 and people always are surprised to learn that I'm not a natural redhead. In fact, I get asked quite frequently if I am Irish. (I have green eyes)

 

[SnowBelle]

Well I have irish blood flowing through my veins...so only natural for me to be a redhead!

Even if just from a box!

Georgette Mosbacher would say that you were "born to be a redhead" then.

 

[SnowBelle]

Works for me!

I am off to work shortly...you have a great day!!
