Like I said earlier, I wish I could say the "hot wax" incident was my last beauty shop boo boo. But there was that one time when I was doing my own highlights, didn’t set a timer and got distracted. This accident, if you really want to call it that, led me to a talent I like to refer to as “art”. I was able to artfully separate the pale blonde strands with just enough dark strands to get a really attractive effect…kind of like a halo! “I look great!” I told myself. Just. Great.
Another time I thought I’d try acrylic nails. But they just weren’t me. So I removed them myself at home. Two words: “ouch” and “ooh.”
Speaking of nails, I’d like to offer you one of my “artistry tips." Often I find I need a quick nail polish touch up on my toes. While getting dressed, I slip on my open toed shoes, and proceed to paint only the toenails that show!
Later you can paint that last little piggy. Yeah…I’m pretty much a beauty artiste.
Wanna hear what beauty treatment I gave myself just last week?
Then come back soon!

I want to have my friend do my highlights but your stories have made me a little nervous : ) I am getting my hair cut tomorrow. Maybe my hair stylist will be running a special...B

You are so funny Melanie. I'm with you on the put your toes in your shoe and paint only the toes you can see. Yep! I've been there and done that.
ReplyDeleteThe nail story did me in. I cannot imagine how painful that was. If truth be known, we probably all have at least one story to share like yours. I like your honesty.
ReplyDeleteThere are great. :) Thanks for sharing and for the word up on the WW. ;) Congratulations to you on losing 16 on your own plan. That's awesome.
ReplyDeletep.s. That's me. :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I've had my sister give me highlights. I HAVE cut my own hair...not too bad...but not too great..lol. I have cut both my husband's and son's hair. Not too hard. Still like the professional job better. I have even done the lazy toenail painting..are we related? Love your posts!

Melanie,
ReplyDeleteYou are scaring me! I am now afraid to attempt any "at-home" beauty treatments and since money is tight I am truly afraid what I will look like come the 15th! LOL! I better have a quick yardsale for some extra beauty treatment cash!!
