Team High Maint

So you know how when a big event comes up you have to totally get everything done? I'm talking, "nails done, hair done, everything did"? (Oh yeah, cuz I'm fancy, huh) So that's pretty much what I've been doing since Thursday. I have an awesome team of girls who keep me at my high maint best. 

On Thursday I got my hair did. For the summer I usually like to have blond highlights with a nice caramel-y brown undercolor. (In the fall, I usually go darker and become my "Evil Twin" muahahaha!!) This summer, was no exception and it seemed that my hair was even blonder than usual. Great, except for the fact that my dreaded roots would come out with a vengeance after a few months. (Why does it look cool on celebrity hair?!) Since it's now August and summer is slowly (quickly?) coming to its inevitable end, I decided to still have the blond highlights, but just toned down. Not so "California beach girl". My hairstylist mixed a wonderful color and we both congratulated her on her excellent colorizing skills. (I say "both" because she was pretty impressed with her own mad skills. LOL. Note: Nora! Write it down!) Anyways, we were discussing how I definitely needed to upgrade my hair straightener and she told me about a new straightener that was really good. Here's how our convo went:

Me: So I think I need a new straightener

Nora: What kind do you have?

Me: Hot Styler. 

Nora: Uh...YEAH. You definitely need to upgrade! Chi is good...oh wait, there is this new one that's really good!

Me: Better than Chi?

Nora: Well, maybe not better, but really good...it vibrates. 

Me: What?! (LOL)

Nora: Seriously. See? But it only vibrates when you run it up and down the shaft...

Me: Aww...too bad. 

Both of us: BA HAHAHAHA!

(Oh dirty minds...) 

Anyways, she used the new straightener on my hair (ohhhh yeaahhhhh...lol. JK) along with this Big Hair powder that gives you mad teasing volume and I was done. Too bad I was just goin to my parent's house for dinner. (PS. Yesterday I was sitting on a bench outside of a different hair salon, waiting for some friends and I heard a knock on the window behind - it was one of the stylists and she was mouthing "I LOVE YOUR HAIR" to me. Aww, shucks.)

On Friday, I got my eyebrows done. I love getting my eyebrows done. Besides the obvious grooming and uni-brow stoppage, its like I get to have monthly session with my shrink. I lay down on this massaging table/bed with fluffed up pillows, and while Chawna applies the warm wax to my eyelids, one of us will tell the other about our latest deep dark secrets. I swear Chawna knows so much dirt about me, she could probably write a novel...I'd be worried, except that I know just as much dirt about her! And her dirt is better. LOL. Seriously, I have the best time in there. We get so wrapped up in talking that I don't even realize when she's pulled the wax off. (However, there was this one time we were in a discussion about something crazy and my eyes flew open in disbelief. She was like "Sweetie! No! Close your eyes!" but it was too late and my eyelashes got stuck in the wax and I was like "I can't! I can't! OMG!!" and seriously, I thought we were both going to die of laughter! We were howling and at the same time freaking out because I couldn't blink or close my eyes! Thank goodness she had the presence of mind to grab a wet washcloth to try and ease the wax off. Honestly, we couldn't talk for a good 10 minutes after that because we couldn't stop laughing and she was pretty much crying. That time, I came out of there with slightly uneven eyebrows (and a few less eyelashes) But man, that was one of the best laughs I ever had.

On Saturday, I got my eyelashes done. I absolutely LOVE having my eyelash extensions! I can never not have them though because I look terrible without them. The girl I go to is awesome. Tina has the steadiest hands ever, as she dips each individual lash in the glue and applies it precisely on my lashes. I come out of there with thick, long "come hither" lashes that I can't stop batting. And if I tell her I'm going to a party, she puts even more lashes on. She must've put on a lot extra yesterday because one of my friends was like "I could see your eyelashes from across the parking lot!" Wunderbar!!

Tomorrow I'm going for a pedi but unfortunately the girl that usually does it is away. BOO. and lastly, I'm going for a shellac mani on Wednesday...

Yes, I know...I'm extremely high maint. 

But how else do you expect me to stay so fab??
