So Spa Week (it ends today, but some spas extend it until the end of the month - call now if you're interested!) was the perfect opportunity to book a facial and massage at La Peau Day Spa.
The first time I got a professional massage was while trying out a new gym/spa for work (yeah, I know, my life is so harsh). You know those pictures of calm, peaceful women in white towels lying on a table? They lie. I was in pain most of the time. That's probably my fault because I have the body of an old lady, but I didn't expect massages to hurt! Today's experience was a little less painful, but still not the serene scene those pictures portray. So that, plus the fact that my body was creaking in a morning Pilates class, reminded me that I should probably do yoga again.
They're squirming under those towels, I know it.
Step 2: facial. I have never had a facial. I'm a big believer in the right drugstore cleansers + healthy lifestyle = good skin. Ok, add good genes in there too. But for the sake of trying new things and self-indulgence, I got one. Everything was fine until the extraction part. You know, where your harmless aesthetician turns serial zit/pore killer. Right now my face is a little red in some spots.
I'll stick to getting pedicures and sitting in the gym steam room.
