It’s Time Out for Theta Mom Thursday! For those of you visiting for the first time, the goal is to grab one hour of time within one week to do whatever you want…without the kids. It’s such an amazing proposition, I know! On Thursdays, post how you spent your “time out” (add my button from the right side bar or link to me) and be sure to stop here to link up and meet other Theta Moms to see how they spent their time out!
I am so excited to say that I actually had 3 hours of time out this week! That is a total record for me Theta Moms! Especially since it’s been hard for me lately to squeeze in that one hour, I guess I was able to make up for some lost time.
Although I don’t post a whole lot of pictures of myself, I can tell you that my hair is quite blonde and every time the cooler weather hits, I always go through this cycle of “I need a change.” I sound like such a girl here, but it’s true. I always want to be the slammin blonde bombshell in the summer with crazy light locks, but as soon as autumn arrives I want to take it down a few notches. I find myself doing this every year. Every single year. Seriously.
I spent my time out in the salon this week getting my normal highlights, but I also had my stylist add in some lowlights to my hair. It is just enough of a darker color to offset the crazy blondeness. After sitting with the foils, my stylist also toned my down my entire hair color slightly so it looks more natural. She used this awesome glaze stuff that also gave my hair a sleek shine! I am still a blonde of course, just not so blondie I guess.
I absolutely always look forward to taking a trip to the hair salon. There is something so relaxing about having your hair done, isn’t it? It’s a total non-mommy-all-girl-time for me and I love every second of it! I enjoy reading magazines while sipping a hot cup of coffee, relaxing under those lights as my full head of foil does its thing. It’s fun to socialize with the other women and chat with my stylist. And I always manage pick up a new trend when I’m there, including a couple of products. Going to the salon gives me that beauty boost that I need and it’s a time out that is always well worth it!

It is always so nice to take a visit to the hair salon. I always feel the prettiest after they fix my hair. I want to take my hairdresser home with me. Wouldn't that be great!!

i went shopping with a friend on sunday…. got some slutty boots at payless shoes.
Sounds like you had an awesome hair appt. Glad you were able to get away and get some you time.
I HAVE A TAG FOR YOU ~ YOUR IT!
I love my salon lady too.. lots of gossip and a snooze in the chair. (I go after a night at work)
But still I feel guilty every Thursday as I have had oodles of hours to myself..
See you next week for my guilt trip.

aah, the salon…a place that i don't go to enough! yeah, we're talking like every 8 months! its bad! awesome on the 3 hours!! woo hoo! no time out for me this week, again! son was in the hospital for 3 days! now i'm trying ot get caught up on, um, everything!! lol
I am a hair dresser (very part time) and I always enjoy seeing my customers feel/look like they got that pick-me-up that they so needed….not only with their hair, but like you mentioned…..the time to just sit back, relax and get a little pampered.
Now also, I am the painter whose house needs painting and should treat myself to getting my hair done…..and my eyebrows are totally out of whack too. Thank you for reminding me that I am worth grabbing an hour for myself too. Gonna call my boss this afternoon and make an appt.
Peace

That reminds me that I need to get a haircut! I usually chop it off once in a while b/c it grows out too long and scraggly.
You should post a pic of your new cut! Have a great week.
Everytime I go to the salon I wonder why I have waited so long i between appointments! I always feel so uch better when those highlights are touched up!
Great time out! I feel like a new person eveytime when I get my hair done

That's Great. It's always nice to go to salon and come home looking beautiful.
I don't get the same atmosphere when I go to the salon. My Aunt's my hairdresser(she does it out of her house) and I color my own hair.
I love going to have my hair done. It is so relaxing. I have a hard time staying awake when Im getting my hair done. Glad you got 3 hours and your hair looks fab!
What a great idea! I plan to use my hour checking out your blog!

What are your kiddos going to be for Halloween?
Glad to hear you got some time to yourself! The salon is always a lot of fun!
Glad to hear you got some time out! I plan to make a trip to the salon next week. I know what you mean about wanting a change, I'm thinking of going dark and short.
I'm so glad that you got your time out. I just got mine. A little late but I got it in just now.
I'm due for a hair appointment soon… as soon as this weekend is over. As soon as this weekend is over… As soon as this weekend is over. That's the mantra I've been chanting all week. Can't wait!
I am still feeling a little under the weather this week so I skipped my workouts but I did go to the grocery store myself-gee, I am depressing! Stop by my site for an award
I love the hair salon, too. I go for 3 hours every 8 weeks and it is a time where I can't do anything but relax and read a magazine. I look forward to it!
I love spending free time pampering myself. Hair salon, nail salon, massage, facial…they all rock!
3 hours! Good for you.
A picture would have been perfect! My hair is so blah, I'm jealous! Would love to be trendy if it would actually cooperate, LOL.
Thanks for the comment earlier!
