Spa day

My dog goes to the puppy spa at least once a month. She gets a bath, gets a brushing, and gets her nails done. Every month. Spa day for my dog. But what about me?

Well today was my spa day. I figure if my dog can get her pampering each month then, by golly, I deserve a little pampering too. So today was my day. Off to the spa I went early this morning to begin the pampering.

I started with a bikini wax. I've never had a wax done before so this was to be a new experience. It wasn't nearly as bad as they lead you to believe on TV, but I will admit that some of the more sensitive areas (this was a bikini wax mind you) were a bit more painful than others. But it was ok as following the wax came the one hour massage.

This part was quite nice. A couple of tough moments when the massuse got a little rough, but overall, a relaxing experience. It ends with some hot towels to soothe the skin and remove some of the excess oils followed by about 10 minutes of quite, low light relaxation. Ahhhh.

Following the massage, it was time for my pedicure. I love having a pedicure. I like to walk around barefoot most of the time so my feet take a beating. Today my tootsies were given some much needed attention. The soaking, the pumicing, the clipping, scraping, and finally the painting. Yep, these are some happy piggies.

Last came the age defying manicure. That's just your basic mani with a parafix wax dip. I don't know about age defying, but it felt good.

All told, my spa day took about 4 hours. That's 4 hours of me being pampered and waited on by someone else. My every whim being honored. And, as an added bonus, I stimulated the economy! So there. What did you do today?
