Semi-Me Day




I had a semi-me day yesterday. Hair got dyed--by my AWESOME mom. I did take my kids with me so they could play with my nieces. Then I took myself, Z and H for haircuts. H went first and just got a trim--thank goodness because she first talked about cutting it short again and with bangs. Z went next and ended up with spikey hair--he looked so handsome. Then it was my turn. I took your, my blog friends, advice and took the back even shorter this time. It looks great (pictures taken by H and remember that this is morning hair--I have not combed it or anything)!! Can I just say that I LOVE my hairdresser?! Sheena--YOU ROCK (if anyone would like her info--contact me through e-mail)!! Then she waxed my eyebrows. My kids were really excited about seeing me in pain--RUDE!! (0: It was a great day and the best part is that I feel great. It's always a good thing to pamper yourself (I should really take my own advice--I hadn't had a haircut or eyebrow wax in 2 months)!!

Lucky girl! What I would give to get my children in a barber chair! My 12 y/o son is into "skater" hair...he is a leo and does have GREAT hair...My daughter HATES to have a brush within 500 feet of her hair...ahhhh...they're just going to have to look like ragamuffins...

Thanks for stopping by!!!

Have a fabulous weekend!

Mommies are always last for some papering, aren't they? I just had a cut and colour job this week, and that was the first time since October.

I have curly hair so picture Krusty the clown. A straightener is a girls best friend.

It's really adorable! I love the color, too! You're reminding me that I am a little desperate for a haircut myself, unless I want to live in ponytail land again!

Love it!

I think it has been 9 months since I have had a haircut. No extra money. (-:

But your hair looks cute! And I wish I could find a hairdresser around here that I love.

Leslie said...

Blog hop and I keep coming across your blog! So I thought I'd better just stop and say hi. Cute haircut and I love the color! Eyebrow wax.... never done that, sounds too painful!

Bonnie the Boss said...

It looks great! I always feel like a new woman after a cut and color. Too bad I only get one about every 5 months. My kids think it is funny too when I wax.

It looks great. I love the color. Very pretty!

Bobie said...

Cute hair. We're almost twins. I really need a wax. OY!!!

Lee said...

Your hair looks great! I love the color!
I had my hair dyed a similar color to that before.
It was a tiny bit closer to fire engine red, but had enough darkness to look right.
But yours looks so nice! And the cut is great!

Unknown said...

My eyebrows are, sadly, getting scary. Ugh.

You look gorgeous on the other hand. Yay you!

Paige said...

It sure is nice to have a maintenance day isnt it? odd how we put it off for so long.

I am due on WEdnesday for the hair and brows, and I bad need a pedicure, which I better schedule

Your hair looks good

babbler said...

The color and cut are great! You make me feel brave enough to do some chopping on my hair, it is as long as it has ever been. The next place I will go stalk from here is your friend Annette's blog to see the jewelry to go along with a new look! Have an awesome week ahead! Love from "Mrs. Slug"

Wendyburd1 said...

Agh your eyebrows look good, I SO overpluck mine and can't stop I think it is an illness!

That is almost my current hair color but more reddish, but I do Miss my BRIGHT red, just need some happier me first.

Cute hair! Pampering yourself is always an important thing to do every now and then. Good for you! :)

Sheri, RN said...

Sounds like a great you day! :) My mom also dyes my hair, mine is much too long to ever be able to get it all without missing places. :) Hope you are having a good day today too!

A haircut. Jillene, you are an inspiration to us all. Not only do you look great, but you managed to do so while you have your kids with you. Nothing short of amazing.

The last time I tried to get my haircut with my kids by my side, I ended up looking like Alfalfa from the Little Rascals. I had to end the appointment before the stylist had finished!

I love the way that turned out! I like the color too. It took me ten years to finally find a stylist that I like. Hang on for dear life!

Visiting from Blog Stalkers Unite (newbie over there). Love the new "do" and the color is awesome! Love it!

Teresa Jordan said...

I love the cut and the color! You just reminded me that I haven't been to see my hairdresser in about 6 weeks. That's probably why I'm feeling so down-in-the-dumps. I'm calling her tomorrow :0)

Tara Bennett said...

Oh I LOVE those days! Well-deserved I'm sure. And congrats on being featured! Hope you don't mind one more stalker on your blog! ;O)

Ilianna & Baby Jayson said...

GOOD FOR YOU! I treat myself to one of those days at least every month & 1/2 or so. Love your hair color, wish I had the courage to cut it differently. It looks great!

Just SO said...

You look great! I wish my morning hair looked that great. Mine is more like Mourning hair. ha!

I'm glad you got a semi-me day.

Jo said...

Wow! If your hair looks like that right out of bed, you got a great cut! Rotten kids for enjoying your wax. Glad you got some time to yourself.
