as a woman, it's only natural for me to compare myself to other women i come across. truthfully, i'm surprised at how often some of you ladies treat yourselves to getting your hair done, or simply getting any kind of third party maintenance done to improve your appearance and spirits. personally i have nothing against it, but i think what shocks me the most is being able to afford getting these done so often! on the other hand, i also have encountered females who don't do it enough.
i've found that i pamper myself when it's due. (okay, maybe when it's a little overdue.) but everyone's due dates vary and mine happen to fall on special occasions such as my birthday, or in this case: time-that-i-just-happened-to-have-for-myself and what do you know, i was able to salvage some change from my measley savings so everything just came together.
needless to say, this is dedicated to the wonderful people who treated me with special care and attention this past week. specifically the nice vietnamese ladies at ProfessioNail & Spa who gave me the best hand / foot massage to go with my pretty mani and pedi. i also wanted to thank my friend, Lindsey Hatcher at her new salon Illusions Unlimited, for spending 3 hours on my hair (and saving me tons of $$!!!). last but not least, i received my first facial and massage from Renee at EsScentials who was so attentive and catering to my special skin needs that i can't wait for my next visit.
sometimes a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do and boy, am i happy that i did :)

Yeah seriously. I'm for pampering and all, but I do agree that some girls spend ridiculous amounts of money on whatever they do. As for your facial, how was it? I've never gotten one before...and how much do they run for?
the facial was with microdermabrasion and a massage for $68 but that's because i'm a goldstar member which offers discounts on participating local businesses. you should sign up for it, it's free and it's pretty cool. the site is goldstar.com and see if they offer any local discounts on spas near you.
my experience was great. the massage was a little too firm for me but that was my fault since i checked "firm" on the form they have you fill out. my lady was awesome and gave me great tips for my face since i tend to have dry and oily skin. it was very relaxing too, i even fell asleep at one point! you should definitely check it out.
