Rumpled Blue Moon

Do you ever have those days where you just feel like a rumpled version of yourself?  I feel like I look like that shirt you wore one afternoon for a couple hours and then haphazardly tossed on the floor, and let sit there for a few days.  RUMPLED.

I love my curly hair.  I do.  But sometimes it not only contributes to the rumple, it is the cause of the rumple.  I'm wearing a nicely put together work outfit, but my hair is all wonky and it's throwing my game off.  Plus, my nail polish is seriously chipping off and it is decidedly not cute. 

This week has been so busy.  I don't even know why.  All I know is that I haven't had time to do laundry, to watch a single thing on DVR, or to really feel like I've relaxed.  Monday and Tuesday were trainer sessions followed up by the gym.  Last night my Abs class was cancelled so I went out for dinner and drinks with a friend, then hung out until about 10:30.  Back at home I was exhausted and decided to take that evening as my night off from the gym instead of Friday.  I went right to bed.

Tonight I have a happy hour event being hosted by my trainer I'm attending for a bit.  After that I plan to go to the gym and get my workout done.  This is why I'll be doing maybe one drink at the happy hour.  Tomorrow night I'll go to the gym and since it closes at nine on Fridays, I will get to come home after and maybe FINALLY catch up on some DVR.

No classes or training sessions this weekend, so I will get to actually sleep in on Saturday.  I actually have no set plans for the weekend yet, and I'm okay with that.  It's supposed to be really nice out both days, so I've thought about taking a nice long walk on a trail or something one of the days, just to be outside. 

I have a hair appt. at 12:30.  It's totally an indulgent type appointment, not getting it cut or anything.  Just a blowout.  I need some smoothness and sleekness in my life, just for a couple of days.  I need the nice head massage I get from the shampoo, and the feeling of being a little better put together.  Sure, I probably could use an actual BODY massage instead of pretty hair for two days, but this is what I'm choosing.  I'll take a hot bath this weekend with some epsom salts and call it a spa day.  :-)

  1. I abolutely understand this feeling - I've been feeling this way for the last three weeks. I've just been in this funk where it feels like I'm totally spastic and not really accomplishing anything.

    And sometimes we just need to indulge! Looking put together can do a lot for making you FEEL like things are in order.

    And enjoy your "spa day" this weekend!

    1. The hair appt. helped. :) It was nice to just be pampered for an hour, and my hair smells wonderful, and I feel better. :)

  2. I feel like I look like a rumpled version of myself every. single. day. of the week. I just can't get it together and my hair air dries - no bueno. Days/weeks/months like this just happen. Hopefully it will pass soon for you. And good for you getting a blow out! If I had super curly hair, I'd do the same :)

    1. That's probably because you have a million things going on! :) I don't generally feel this way, it was really just how I felt yesterday. I've actually felt pretty good in general lately because I'm working out so much and it just radiates nicely, LOL.

      I do love my curly hair, and I'd never get rid of it permanently, but it is nice to have a couple days of smooth, easy hair. :)

  3. I bet its because of daylight savings time. Especially the feeling of not having time to do anything.

    When my hair is ruining shit, its generally because I need a haircut. Although, I always need a haircut, my hair is hippie wild.

    Perhaps you should set up some goal rewards? Like when you reach 15 pounds lost, get a massage? I do that, I generally buy yoga things I've had my eye on and need a reason to buy... Nothing like good fitness habits to justify my spending.

    1. I'm actually trying to grow my hair out a tiny bit, and I just had a cut about 4-5 weeks ago. The blowout was nice and indulgent, my hair smells so good! :)

      Ah, it will be so exciting when I reach the 15 lb. mark! Maybe that can be when I allow myself to buy some new pants? :)

  4. I totally get where you're coming from. Some days I feel rumpled, my hair is an insane riot of curls and fuzz, I've probably spilled coffee on me, I did something stupid like put on eyeliner but no mascara. I get it. Some days you just wish you never got out of bed.

    1. Today is one of them, too! Yesterday I looked rumpled, today I FEEL internally rumpled, LOL. I am so grateful it's the weekend right around the corner.
