In the beginning, you dress to the nines all the time. Always made sure you wore your best lingerie and of course you wore sets. Hair was always done, toes and nails were perfect, etcetera etcetera. Let's just say you never walked around your mate looking a hot mess for a looong while.
So now fast-forward later on in the relationship. He's heard you fart, saw you pick your nose and teeth, saw you first thing in the morning and has caught a whiff of your morning breath a few times. So now you're wearing sweats even when you're not out for a jog, you have hair curlers in your hair for days, basically not the woman you once were.
Ok, maybe that's just me. My husband claims to love me anyway, and find me sexually attractive all the time. But I know he wished I tried a little harder. My over comfortability (whoa, that's a word!) made me, not him feel very uncomfortable with my appearance. As I said in the previous post, I was more concerned with my kitchen than myself. So what's the point of complaining if you're not going to do something about it. So I did.
Recently we got some extra money, and I asked if there was room in the budget for Mommy Time. He said go for it, which I believe in man-language means, " Please do you'll stop complaining to me!"
I didn't do some massive makeover. I just got my hair done--for the first time in YEARS-- and some new clothes. I also got my eyebrows threaded for the first time. Whoever said threading wasn't painful is a LIAR. OMG I was praying for the end. I hope it lasts!!! I'd rather deal with the quick sting of waxing!!!! But if it lasts, I'll endure the pain of threading!
So here is me in my home attire:
AAAAAH!
After:
Honestly, I would never buy this normally...or have my hair this color. So that's why I did it :)
I doubt I will be able to keep it up. We'll see...
You'd look great in a trash bag, Som! Cute outfit and the hair color looks good on you.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I love threading. The key is finding someone who can do it with minimal pain/effort. I went to someone once...omg...I just knew my face was bleeding. I wanted to throat punch her, it hurt that bad. But the ladies I go to now at this Indian hair shop - fabulous! It doesn't hurt any more than waxing. Did they have you stretch the skin around your eyebrows?
Thank you, Tam!
ReplyDeleteNo, they did not. Just felt like rug burn on my face! There was no redness or anything like that. I for sure thought there would be, though! I think I will go again, because this woman did an excellent job! She broke out the scissors and tweezers, too! I usually have to fix my eyebrows after I get them done just to fill spots, but she did a great job. The pain was worth it I guess :)
I've had my eyebrows threaded twice and I'm NOT a fan. Congrats on your mini-makeover. Every mommy deserves it.
ReplyDeleteLove the look. Straight out of bed on with the breakfast and the hat...about to pop out for that missing ingredient;)
