Yay! I love my new haircut! It looks a zillion times better””healthier and shiner with a nice, rich color. I feel like a new woman!
Check out these before and after photos””it’s amazing what a little color can do!
My hairdresser only cut off about an inch, but it made such a difference. My ends look so much healthier!
Lunch
Lunch was a random mix of goodies: scrambled eggs with spinach and bacon in a whole wheat wrap, sweet potato wedges, and a couple of Frosted Date-Nut Cookies. (Only one cookie is pictured, but I went back for a second one. They’re so good!)
Snack
A few hours later, I made myself a protein smoothie with banana, coconut milk, and a new protein powder that a friend of a friend sent Mal and me to try out. (FYI: Mal loves this stuff, and he has been drinking it almost everyday since we received it.) The “Fortified” variety that I tried this afternoon is a whey protein derived from grass fed, free-range cows.
The chocolate was really tasty and blended well with the other flavors in my smoothie, and it didn’t have a weird, chalky taste or anything like that. Sweet and smooth. The chocolate was also a nice change from my usual vanilla protein powder.
Off to walk the pug and then CrossFit! Wish me luck on 12.3!

I love getting hairs cuts, definitely so refreshing! I myself need one badly haha, but I am waiting to go home to my normal hair girl, I get a little picky/nervous having new people do my hair 🙂
Your hair looks gorgeous! So shiny and healthy looking. I love hair salon days. Enjoy the weekend with your new do! 🙂
Love the new hair!!
The color looks good, and suits you well 🙂
I love going to the salon, since I don’t have color i my hair I tend to procrastinate it, I should call for an appointment now lol
I love the way your hair feels after being at the salon!
Good luck tonight!
Love the new ‘do!! Gorgeous! 🙂
Your hair looks great!!!
yay for a haircut!
beautiful tina! you’re right, a little trim and some color does wonders! i’m definitely in need of a trim right now too…
Beautiful hair!!! Thanks for the links to the protein powder…I`m eager to check those out. They look great!
I love getting my hair done, it feels so nice to be pampered! I usually only color my hair once every 6 months to keep it healthy and save some money, but I love that fresh feeling when I leave the salon!
Like you just stepped outtttttt of a salonnnnnn….Salon Selectives!
Your hair looks great. It’s amazing what just cutting off the split ends can do. God, I never cut my hair, lol.
Love the new hair cut lady! It reminded me that I need to make an appointment soon.
The new color looks awesome and healthier!
Ooo! New hair feels so good! I love it!!
I love the new color and your cut! I agree, even just a little trim feels awesome. I love getting haircuts; it’s one of my splurge although now I’ll wait 6-7 months in-between cuts. I live my stylist, she’s the only one to make my long hair not look so flat and dull and I can go longer in between cuts. Enjoy your workout tonight!
Haircuts are possibly my favorite thing ever! I walk out feeling beautiful and my hair is so soft and silky!
Looks great! I love getting my hair cut 🙂 Those cookies look so good, I might have to make them this weekend!
Love the hair cut! That reminds me that I need to make an appointment. My ends are looking pretty bad right now.
I’ve been wondering about protein powders lately, which types people enjoy and the differences between whey/ plant/ rice etc. Glad to see a sustainably sourced whey powder, I’m going to have to look into that one. Have a blast at crossfit, looks like another tough workout!
Love the new haircut! It’s amazing what just a little trim can do for our mood 🙂
I love how something so simple like a hair cut and fresh color can make you feel so much better. I know when I get my hair done, I feel like a new woman for a good week or so! woo! 🙂
I don’t notice a difference in colour, but it looks much healthier. I like your natural colour though! Haha it’s like mine.
I need to have a haircut and color — but I’m afraid of coloring. Never colored before because I have a full head of black tresses. Anyone willing to recommend how do I tame those greys in between? Which color would work the best?
Yesss getting your hair done is the best feeling! Great way to start your weekend!
Hair looking good…I need to get my butt to the salon!
Cute haircut!!
EVERY TIME i get my hair done i think of salon selectives. what a catchy jingle…
I love your haircut! The layers at the end look really nice. 🙂
Love the hair! I got mine cut this Wednesday and it’s WAY too short. I’m not a happy camper!
It’s amazing how cutting 1 inch can make your hair feel lighter and healthier. Looks good!
Thanks for mentioning the Date Cookies again. I’m off to make them right now!
You look STUNNING. Your hair looks fab! 🙂
Haircuts are the best feeling ever! I always schedule them on days when I know I can go relaxed and truly enjoy it 🙂
My hair is the bane of my existence. I doubt I will ever make peace with it because I have a hug scar on one side of my head, thus I have less hair on that side and I have many cowlicks. I think my most embarrassing style was when I had a body perm on the top with layers and then long and straight on the sides. Ugghhh.
What a coincidence….I have been meaning to try whey protein for a while now and bought a small pouch of MRM chocolate flavored whey protein this morning. I know it’s high in glutathione, a powerful anti-oxidant. Going to put it in a smoothie for breakfast in the morning.
Your hair looks awesome! Now I think I’m craving some breakfast right now 🙁 But I already ate dinner, boo!
Beautiful! I just got mine trimmed too! Makes a huge difference!
I love Murpy’s expression!
@Debbie: Ha! He’s a goof, isn’t he? 🙂
*sorry…Murphy
I love your hair! It’s a nice color! The picture of you and Murphy is so cute!!!
I love haircuts!!! Except the few that have gone horribly wrong, of course 😉
Love the color- looks so fresh!
Isn’t it incredible that a haircut can completely transform the way you look at yourself??? Glad you got “sassy-fied”. Have a great weekend.
@Roz@weightingfor50: I love the word “sassy-fied”! 🙂
I love lunches that are a random mixture of goodies!! Those are my favorite!!!
Ooooh love the cut/color! Lookin’ good. Hope CF went well!
Your hair looks SO good! I really like the dark color. Little bit of this and that lunches are my favorite. I just saw your email- such a cute idea! I will try and get back to you by tomorrow 🙂
I absolutely LOVE your new hair color. Looks amazing.
howd you do on 12.3? it was a tough one!
@Laura: Really bad. 🙁 I’m going to blog about it later today. How’d you do?
@Tina: pretty good! i did 7 rounds + 32 reps. i made the bad decision to do back/front squats the night before, working up to my 1 RM. my legs were definitely feeling it on those box jumps and push presses!
WOW! Nice job!!!! 🙂
[…] the ride, I mixed up a protein shake with chocolate whey protein powder and coconut […]
i know what you mean, a little haircut and color can make such a huge difference. lately i’ve been having issues with whites.. so annoying, i’m so young for white hair, but thanks to my mom. and i look like 5 years younger after highlights. 🙂
Tina, your hair looks beautiful! I love it 🙂
