About Face

Today was Spa Day. I had a complete overhaul: massage, facial, pedicure, manicure, hairstyle, and make-up application. I look pretty good. I also look like a completely different person.

The massage was great. I could have stopped right there...slept on the massage table for five more hours and come hope quite relaxed and happy.

I was a little nervous about the facial going in. I've never had one, and my skin care routine consists of soap and water. I have horrible skin and no patience, and I had a bad feeling that the facial expert was gonna notice that.

She did. And somehow her Russian accent made it worse...when she said "Why do you not use a moisturizer?" I was ready to confess to crimes, I was so intimidated. And I know she's probably right...after she acid'ed off a few layers of skin and puffed me up with collagen, along with waxing and tweezing and scraping and poking me with hot needles, my crow's feet were practically gone and the other wrinkles and pimples were not quite so noticable. So I bought a ton of cleanser and toner and day cream and night cream and eye cream and God knows what else...but I bet that by the end of the month it will all be stashed under the sink and I'll be zitty and wrinkly again.

I understand why women do it. Properly cleanse and tone and clarify and conceal, then improve on that with make-up, and it's a night and day difference. Right now, like I said, I look good. But it takes time, money, and effort, and I'm just too slackass lazy for the investment.

mmmm Spa day :) I never had a facial. Come to think of it, I never had a massage either, not at a spa anyway :)

Massages are worth it!

The rest was, well, indulgent and silly. But I'm going back for more massages.
