So, back in October, the husband got me a spa package for my birthday.\u00a0 What with the holidays and life and everything, I wasn’t able to schedule it till today.\u00a0 Never having gone to the spa except for the ever-so-practical hair removal (threading is the way to go for brows, ladies)\u00a0and occasional pedicure, I wasn’t quite sure what to think of a completely induldgent spa visit.<\/p>\n
It.\u00a0 was.\u00a0 wonderful.<\/p>\n
Three hours of massage, body scrub and facial later, all I have to say is why have I never done it before?\u00a0 And whoever invented the hot-towel-on-the-body technique was\u00a0a geeeeenius.\u00a0 Totally deserves a Nobel ahhhhhh Prize.\u00a0 I am so getting one of those hot towel microwave things.<\/p>\n

It wasn’t nearly as awkward as I had expected.\u00a0 The masseuse and body scrubber were experts at keepin-the-bits-covered.\u00a0 They had a multitude of towels at their disposal to flip and fold whichever way was necessary so as to keep those things we call ‘private’, well, private.<\/p>\n
And it seems that a facial also includes a foot massage.\u00a0 Hence the need for no pants.\u00a0 As well as a shoulder and arm massage.\u00a0 Hence the need for no top.\u00a0 And tons of hot towels.\u00a0 Aaahhhhhh.<\/p>\n
