In the past 10 days, I've completely pampered myself: pedicure, facial, haircut, and massage. Now, lest you think I'm (a) independently wealthy, or (b) completely high maintenance, let me 'splain.
Pedicure - At the cheapo place near my house, but honestly it was one of the best pedis I've ever had. Moi (sp?) did a fantastic job! Very relaxing and nurturing, despite not being at a chi-chi expensive place.
Haircut - Jackie gives me a discount because I've been a loyal customer for so long. Just a clean-up and reshaping, since my last haircut was shorter with lots more layers.
Facial - Nearly free, thanks to a gift certificate from my in-laws. Unfortunately, I have had a bad reaction to the treatment. Normally I have a glycolic acid peel (as unpleasant as it sounds). This time, Jane recommended microdermabrasion PLUS a glycolic peel. Yeeeeoooouuch! My skin is still pretty irritated and dry, AND I actually have small abrasions on my temple and cheekbone. The microdermabrasion cut me! :(
Massage - Sports massage. Nothing relaxing about it. Not as painful as it was the last time I had one, primarily because I'm not running as much. It was 75% massage and 25% therapy. Vicki is a wonderful listener and a thoughtful friend.
So yes, I've been pampered. But no, it wasn't all Lady of Leisure stuff. I wish!
