This week has been a long one! Nate and I are both feeling stretched pretty thin right now. Not fun, but definitely something that will pass. While Nate takes to the road for a 10 mile run when he feels in need of a “refresher” … me? Not so much. I’m more about the stuff going on in the above photos. Ha! So tonight while Nate was out running, I was in the bathroom dying my hair (finally! oh my, I don’t think I’ve ever let it get this bad!) and soaking in my garden tub with a book. I even watched Teen Mom afterward, shamelessly I might add, while giving myself a pedicure.
(I also did laundry intermittently. So, it wasn’t all fun and games.)
Believe it or not – I rarely ever slow down for the details. I’d rather not have to clean the dust out of the bathtub when I can just take a shower instead and be done with it. I’d rather wear shoes that hide my toes instead of taking a moment to fix my polish. I’d rather wear a hat every day to cover up my roots vs. dying my hair! I am the laziest person you’ll ever meet when it comes to taking the time to do nice things for myself, and I NEVER watch trashy television any more. I live a sad, sad life. ;] But I’m trying to slow down a little bit and keep up with some of the “little things”. Anything that encourages me to relax is something I should take full advantage of right now! Even if it is MTV.
Have a good night my friends and remember to indulge in the simple happies of life! It really is worth it!
Yes, so worth it! Getting caught up and forgetting to take time for myself gets me running on empty.
what color do you use??!? i like it! i have the whole red thing goin, but i like how yours has a little tint of pinkish in it 🙂
I totally agree with you, when I need time to relax and de-stress, I head right into beauty pampering. I'm glad you got the time to do some nice things for yourself 🙂
