I went to the spa today to get my nails done. I found a new place I really love that is totally full service. I get pink and white nails normally and until I found this place, that is all I ever had done. When I first foun this place, I let the girl talk me into a few other things. On top of the nails I get a wonderful milk and honey medicure. I get to soak my hand in warm milk and then they do a wonderful scented salt scrub massage on my hands and arms. After rubbing in the salt scrub they place steamed towels around my arms. Then they wipe off all the salt scrub, rub in a honey/lotion and then do a parafin mask on my hands. While the parafin is setting, I get a 15 minute shoulder and upper back massage. After the manicure is done, I usually go to the back for the eyebrow wax. She talked me into doing my whole face. I wasn't really prepared for what THAT was all about. I will tell you that my face still feels on fire. LOL But my face feels so smooth and wonderful. She even did partial inside my nose. LOL I about died. After the waxng, we go back out front to finish up my nails and as I sit under the nail dryer, she massages my neck and shoulders again for about ten minutes. And all that cost me less than $100.
My husband thinks I'm crazy to let them strip all the hair off my face, but I'm telling you, it was a heck of a way to wake up this morning... the personal attention... the feeling that I got a good bargain for the amount of money I spent. I do this routine once a month now and I think it's totally worth it. I love it so much that I've given up getting my Starbucks before work (unless some kind soul gives me a gift card). It's not often that I get to feel attractive and good about myself. If I have to pay someone $100 a month to feel that way, I think I can handle it. :)
