Baby Face

Last night I had my very first facial. My best friend Brandi gave me a gift certificate to a spa in Anacortes called the Majestic. This place use to be an old motel and had burnt down years ago. Someone restored it and now its so amazing and so beautiful inside.

When I walked in they gave me a soft robe and slippers to get into. Then I went into the tranquility room and drank White Ambrosia tea with honey to relax by the warm fire place. Then I went into the facial room where I had an hour long facial. I had their signature facial, a perfect combination of traditional facial techniques using the mineralizing and rich benefits of the sea to balance the skin. The bed was curved to my body so it was so comfortable and it even had a heater so it was nice and warm under the sheets. She did so many treatments on my face, neck, and chest. Did you know that your chest ages before your face does? I didn't know this, but now that I do I'll definetly start taking care of it. While my masks were setting on my face with hot towels she massaged my head, neck, arms, and hands. I was so relaxed. After my facial I went back out to the tranquility room to relax and drink some hot tea and have a few healthy snacks. After that I went back into the locker room where I could have taken a shower with all of their spa treatments for your skin, body, and bath. There was everyhting there. It was so perfect. I had to go home and make dinner for Brad so I skipped the shower spa. I was soooo hungry. Never go to the spa hungry, you are more relaxed. I left the spa not only in a really great mood, but I felt so relaxed. This morning when I woke up, my skin felt like a baby. So soft and all the blemishes and spots on my skin disappeared.

So I've decided. Every month I am going to try and do something for myself. A massage, a facial, get my hair done, manicure, pedicure.....stuff like that. I have spent so much on bills I have forgotten about taking care of myself. I'll save the big and expensive items for every three months and do the small things inbetween. The neat thing is that all of these things are under $100...most actually under $50. I'm going to book my next thing for myself for the end of next month. Not sure what yet...... so much fun. I would love to have all of my bridesmaids and the mothers to come to the spa before the wedding. It would be pricey depending on whatever one wanted, but it would be so much fun and so relaxing. I'll have to talk to them and see what kind of packages they have for groups, maybe we can come up with a day at the spa for my girls at an affordable price. This is so much fun. I am getting sooooo excited.
