While folks prepare to get ready for the Superbowl watching (on February 3rd), I'll be away at my favorite spa, for me time, much overdue!
What to expect:
Body massage with hot stones
Manicure
Pedicure
Facial treatment
Hair cutting/style
Meanwhile, there'll be herbal teas and a healthy and delicious sandwich during a break-
Afterwards, I'm off to see the movie The Hobbit (with open captioning). I'll then be picking up Chinese food (General Tso chicken, Moo Shu pork, and crab/cream cheese rangoons), and watch the Rome (season 1) DVD I got from Amazon last weekend that Sunday night.
During this time, one can say it's a good time to be childless. One doesn't have to worry about kids.
Sometimes you need to give yourself a break from everything and focus on yourself. Sometimes you need to be selfish and say "enough", and take care of yourself. Go Thelma & Louise; it's your time!
For me, I have four February weekends packed with activities, with some 'me time' and other times with friends. On a little note, a good friend is moving here, yah!!!! Road trips for us, with weird, natural and unusual sightseeing! We both have long lists what to see/experience, so we're gonna compare and develop a plan for future road trips!
The bottom line is, the final part of the first anniversary should fly by. And yes, I have a plan B for when I find myself not in shape to do some of the plans- a new blanket I finished for myself, hot dark chocolate (from the Joe Trader store), and a pile of new books I got, and some phone calls with dearest friends.
On a little note, I saw this video on Youtube, and I got a kick out of it-
Enjoy!!!!
enjoy the weekend!
ReplyDeleteCertainly did! :) I also found out that there was a Walking Dead marathon yesterday, so I got to watch that- I'm pretty excited about next Sunday- fourth season starting then! :)
DeleteSounds like a fabulous plan! I'm sooo hoping to get a hot stone massage one of these days, and all the rest of the stuff is just drool-worthy. Hope you have a wonderful, relaxing spa day
ReplyDelete(and OMG that little kid trolling his sister... that was faboo!) :D
That video is so funny! The hot stone massage, absolutely to die for.. I had tried swedish and one other- I can't remember the name- so first time I tried the hot stone massage- love love love it! I put it on the list of massage techniques to request for the future! I'd highly recommend it, Lala! :D
DeleteSounds wonderful, you deserve all that pampering! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThanks! :) I sure did!
DeleteLOVE reading this post! ENVIOUS of the spa experience that you have 'coz I LOVE LOVE LOVE body massages he he he...But I daren't go to any spa here 'coz it's so damn expensive. The only times I pamper myself to go to spas are when we're having a holiday abroad.
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear that a good friend is moving there. :-D HAVE FUUUUUUUUUUUUNNN!!! :-D
I'll tell you my secret how I afforded it... I go to the spa monthly to put a certain amount ($25-50) on my gift certificate to myself for 6 months. by the time it was time for my pampering (thanks, Sarah for the fabulous word!), I could afford it all and have money left for the tips! :) I'd recommend that, Amel!
DeleteI sure will- he'll be moving here before this weekend- I'm pretty excited! He's even excited about road trips- we both are photographers, so that's better! :D
Oh, over here tipping isn't a custom actually. I once spent a night at a hotel down south to attend a friend's wedding and I had dinner there and I wanted to tip the waitress, but she gave me ALL the coins back!!!
DeleteGreat idea about buying that gift certificate! :-)
WONDERFUL to know that you and your friend are both photographers, so you can both spend time together and enjoy taking pics! :-D
