For my birthday gift, my 2 great sisters took me out and made me over from head to toe! It was a really wonderful gift and a great experience so I thought I'd share my day with you.
6:15 am - Alarm goes off (not that I was sleeping anyway) and I get up and get ready.
7:00 am - Sister T comes to pick me up. We stop at the gas station for gas and then go to Mc Donald's for a coffee & muffin. Then it's off to Winnipeg to pick up sister A!
8:00 am - Arrive at sister A's house. We are very early. We go inside and finish our coffee's while we wait for her to finish getting ready.
My before picture
8:45 am - Off to the Hair Salon!
8:54 am - Arrive at Hair Salon. Go inside. Male assistant takes me in to "get me ready for my color". He leads me to a dressing/bathroom and asks me to change into a cape (this is done to protect my clothing from any color getting on it). He gets me a coffee and seats me in the color chair.
Stylist and Sisters discuss what color I will get. I choose not to be a part of this because I want to be surprised.
Stylist applies color and we make small talk. I wait 5 minutes then female assistant comes to work in my color.
10:00 am ish - Female assistant comes to get me to wash my hair. OH MY! What a relaxing experience. I could have fallen asleep.
10:30 am or so - I get seated in the 2nd waiting room.
10:45 am - Stylist comes back to get me. He gives me the most awesome haircut. He then spends 20 minutes or so blow drying/styling my hair for me. He makes my hair the softest it's been in a long time. It has so much body too!!
11:25 am - 'Ta da' The Sisiters finally get to see the new hair! They Love it!
Now, It's off to lunch!
11:30- 12:30 - Lunch at Joey's restaurant. Delicious.
12:30 - Let the shopping begin!
1st stop - Reitmans. The girls have an outfit in mind, so they send me to the change room and they bring me stuff to try on. I'm very undecisive so this is perfect! After all the trying on, I find a fabulous pair of jeans and it's off to the next shop!
2nd stop - Smart Set. I try on 6 (?) sweaters/shirts and find one that we really like but don't want to buy yet, just in case we find one that's better. So we put it on hold and go to the next store.
3rd stop - Ricki's. Again I try on a ton of great sweaters, but, don't find one that beats the first one.
We walked into a few more stores but didn't see anything that we liked. By then it was time for my make up appointment!
2:00 pm - Make up at Mac. Cosmetics. The girl who did my make up did an excellent job! I was a bit worried, but I had no reason to be.
3:00 pm - Shoes! Off to Aldo and Spring to try on shoes. Found a great pair at Aldo, but had to go to Spring just to make sure they didn't have something better ;)
Accessories!! Make a quick stop at Aldo accessories but they didn't have the right earrings. Stop at shoppers on our way past and found a great pair!
Now, time to drop off Sister A and take the after picture!
My New Look!!!
Now, it's time to head home and show my husband what happens when the girls go out for the day!!
5:15 pm - Pull up on driveway... get out of car... husband is outside...
... his jaw drops.
I kinda think he likes it.
I know I do.
It was a really great day and an experience I'm sure I won't soon forget. Thanks a million to the best sisters a girl could ask for!!
