With spring comes glorious weather, beautiful blooming flowers and a chance to dip our toes in the water in anticipation for that first swim in the ocean.
But I say screw that.
It’s time to give myself a makeover.
Totes over the past 3 months of coughs, colds, flus, asthma, sinusitis and spew, this past week I went for it. I decided it was time for a spring makeover. A chance to shake off the winter grime and embark the road to fabulousness.
A new nail salon opened up the road from me and being a great supporter of local businesses, I was there on grand opening day.
Just as that was serendipitous in my plans to welcome spring, so was the matching pedicure and sandals. Score!
Next was to tackle the problem of the annoying gap in my right eyebrow with a brow brush.
Still yet to master the fine art of applying perfectly aligned and filled eyebrows, I’m still modelling the Charlie Chaplain look.
But hey, at least I now I have EYEBROWS.
What’s a makeover without new big hair complete with highlights? My hair is never this light unless my greys are showing.
I trust my hairdresser Craig implicitly and so when he kept begging me to try something new, I knew he’d make me look more J Lo than a lion.
And to complete tres chic, one needs to go boho chic.
Luffing my Veronica’s Closet purple dress. Her shop is up the road from me (next door to the new nail salon…how super is that?) and I’m forever popping in for a chat and even a debate. Lucky she’s my pal and still loves me. If you’re looking for some fashion inspiration go check out her out on Facebook and Instagram.
Thus, I conclude my tips for a transition.
Now, tell me…have you started your spring makeover? And don’t tell me you haven’t! You DESERVE it!!!

You look amazing! Love the hair and that dress and hot pink earrings look gorgeous on you. I seriously need a make over to shake the stress and sickness of the past few weeks away!

I’m pretty sure there isn’t one area in my life at the moment that doesn’t need a huge spring clean. I’m off to the hairdressers today to take care of the 10 inches of grey regrowth and also having my nails done. Just need to convince the rest of the family to spring clean the house while I’m gone and perhaps I can do a bit of online blog spring cleaning while I’m having my hair done.

Lovely make over Grace! You are rockin it! I am thinking about the Spring makeover. Your post is a great reminder to get one with it! 🙂 Thanks!

You’re a stunner, Grace! I don’t generally do seasonal makeovers, but I have had a little mini cheapskate shopping spree to get the ‘in between’ clothes as the baby weight starts to fall off a bit faster. Lots of colour to cheer me up – and lots of belts to keep the pants up! x

No there will be no makeover here! Unless you count my transition to full blonde last week which I’m not sure I like at all. I’m just biding my time till Christmas to get my hair back to normal and then maybe update the wardrobe a little

love your pedicure and LOVE your dress! Desperately needing a make-over over here … haven’t bought new underwear in months for a start. Might have to start by waxing my legs. Seems that hasn’t been done in months either!

Love the pink nails! I just had my hair cut from below my shoulder blades up to my shoulders. So much lighter!
Love this idea. I am long overdue for a facial, massage, hair colour, eyebrow wax… sigh. I put everyone else’s needs before my own and this has got to STOP!

Gorgeous Grace. I went for a pedicure last week (miracle) and took up their offer to get a manicure at the same time (genius!). Shame about the hairy legs above my nicely polished nails.

I haven’t yet, but I have informed T that I want the full package treatment at a day spa for my birthday present – full body massage and a mani & pedi. I have only ever done it once in my life and after having a baby I think I deserve it. Whether or not I get it remains to be seen, but if he knows whats good for him he will get it! I would love a new haircut, but reality is I spend most of my days with my hair scrunched up in a bun so it would probably be a waste of time and money at the moment.

Love the spring makeover! The eyebrows are interesting…I say that as someone with reasonably thick eyebrows and proud of it! 😀 And umm, no I haven’t started my spring makeover…I tend to wait till the new year for a makeover as it coincides with my birthday that month…

You smile is infectious lovely! Great photos. I think my makeover will have to wait for awhile, I have a few more pressing things that deserve my attention – PLUS – I got a wee big carried away over PB and have bills that need paid 🙁 I wish I could get paid to blog – oh well, dreams are free right!! xxx

You look fabulous Grace! And there is no better excuse for a little makeover than spring! I am going to waiiit till next year for any sssort of makeover for myself but that won’t stop me form doing a little indulgent pampering… I have some gift vouchers for the fancy day spa down the road and I plan on making the most of them with a nice long facial and something else, haven’t decided what yet but possibly a massage or pedicure.
