My sweet husband gave me a Valentine's Present back in February which I have saved until yesterday. It was a prenatal spa package which included a message, facial, manicure, and pedicure. He said he wanted me "to feel like a queen for a day!" I cashed in on this "queen day," left work early, and checked-in the spa yesterday afternoon. I arrived at 2:45pm and left at 7:30pm feeling completely refreshed!!! My finger nails are always neglected and at this point I can't bend over long enough to paint my toenails, so the manicure/pedicure were heaven sent!!! I had never had a message or a facial, and I must say that they were both luxurious!
The message was just what I expected (completely wonderful!), and the facial was completely different than what I had envisioned! I pictured a clay-like mask with cucumbers over my eyes (see above - very unattractive - image:-)....not so! It was really pretty much another message which concentrated only on the face, neck, shoulders, and arms. I totally lost count of all the many creams that were put on my face and then washed off with wonderful warm towels and steam! Some of the creams tingled, some made my face feel tight, some were heavy, and some were just so soothing - they all smelled wonderful! It was so much better than the green paste and cucumbers I had envisioned :-)
After my amazing afternoon of getting pampered...I ran by the grocery store on my way home because even if I HAD been pampered like a queen for the last 4.5 hours....the queen's pantry was STILL going to be empty when she got home :-) Ahhhhh, yes....real life!
It was a wonderful little vacation from the reality of third-trimester aches and pains though, and I'm so very grateful to have such a thoughtful husband!!!
Thank you, Kevin :-)
