This week is all about being pampered. Why? Well, for no reason in particular...it's just the way it turned out. I'm actually not one who spends lots of money at salons/spas/etc. I get a pedicure every once in a while...more in the summer, obvs. I'll go thru phases of getting my nails done...it's a lot of upkeep. The ONLY things I do that are constant and routine are getting my eyebrows waxed and my hair highlighted. I do my eyebrows about every three weeks and my hair typically every 12 weeks.
Everything just sort of popped up at once this week. My wonderful sister in law (and brother, but let's be honest about whose idea this really was) got me a gift certificate for a prenatal massage for my birthday. I received another from a friend, so I decided I would do one in December and maybe one at the end of January...don't want to wait too late in case for some crazy reason little Collins decides to come early. My back has started hurting a bit over the past two weeks, so I decided it was time to bust out the massage. I spent one heavenly hour at Occo Skin Studio in Columbia on Tuesday after work. It was amazing. The bed was heated, the blankets were incredibly soft and plush, and the body pillow was so comfy. Occo is fairly new in Columbia and it was the first time I had ever been there....besides the fact that the interior design is to die for....the massage was as well. I'd go back every day if I could.
Yesterday, I decided I need to get my nails done for the holidays. Back to Occo I went for a OPI gel manicure. Again, heaven. I haven't had a manicure in AGES, so it was very necessary. I can't remember the name of the color but it is very festive, cranberry with a bit of sparkle. Absolutely perfect for the next couple of weeks!
And TODAY...I am getting a little BLONDER:) Ah....one of my favorite times. I feel so much better freshly blonde. I used to be able to go about 4 months in between highlights as my natural color isn't that dark, but the older I get I guess the darker it is getting because I am now having to go every three months or maybe even less. Regardless, I cannot wait. The girl who does my hair is a friend from high school...I told her the other day it was time, and she said, "yeah...I saw some pictures on facebook and thought about calling you." Ha!!! I just don't like my hair dark....wanna be a forever blonde:)
I am also getting my eyebrows waxed today, which isn't fun; but definitely necessary. I may be like a whole new person tonight! It's the perfect week to get all this done though, as I mentioned before we have quite a CRAZY weekend ahead of us. We had our Supper Club Christmas party last night, Mikey has his work Christmas party tonight, which I will go to for a bit before heading to my NINTH annual ZTA girls Christmas party!!! YAY! One of my favorite nights of the year. We then head to NC tomorrow to celebrate Christmas with Mikey's extended family and then it's back to Columbia Sunday morning to celebrate with my extended family. And then....we go to a friends for a "friends" Christmas get together. WHEW! That's a LOT goin' on. And I cannot wait:)

Wow, you are one busy gal! So I just LOVE Occo ... it is my favorite spa in Columbia, hands down. In fact, that's where I had my bridal luncheon - they have a beautiful courtyard area and we took turns coming inside for manicures!
