I will post a pic after I down load to the other puter. The pic is on now, but it makes me look really scary, but Im leaving it. I felt great. Taht was after the facial ands massage, I had all kinds of oils in my hair.
OK, let me start from when I got there. The place is a small little building, right next to a tire store. I didn't see it at first cus there was a big advertisement on the side of the outside wall, for the tire store. I asked a lady that pulled up where the place was. I felt a little silly, it was right there. So I lock my car and find the front door. When I walked in, I could smell pretty candles and aromas. It was instantly relaxing. I checked in and was told to take a seat until the room was ready. I sat down in a beautiful chair and admired the room for about five minutes before I was called to come on back for my facial.
I walked into a small room with a massage table covered with a light blanket and pillow. I was told to replace my top with a towel that buttoned on the top and lay on the table, under the covers with the pillow under my knees. It was very comfortable. Again, there was candles and soft music playing, it sounded like soft lilting Irish music, very pretty. Renee, the lady doing my facial, started rubbing different kinds of oils and scrubs on my face. As she rubbed my face, relaxing me almost back to sleep, she would also start rubbing my neck, my shoulders, my arms. This was so amazing. She put a steam machine blowing in my face and covered my eyes with a wet compress, and left the room for about ten minutes.
It was so hard to stay awake during this 1 1/2 hour massage. I really cant believe how great it felt. Warm, soft, cool, aromatic, relaxing. this was all of these. Now, when this experience sadly ended, I was given a robe to wear to the next room, for my full body massage. Again, a dimly lit room, candles, aroma therapy, take off the robe, lay on the table, under the sheet. Then, an hour of full body massage started. OMG, it was so wonderful. these ladies have magical hands, i swear. She could feel all the little knob s of muscle spasms in my back, ask me if my legs were sensitive, and ask me if I get headaches while she was massaging my hands. How do they know all this stuff? Again, there were many different lotions and scrubs. Warm and soft lotions, they felt so good being rubbed into my aching body parts. I was so sad when it was done. I just wanted Jaime to continue to massage my back, legs, feet, hands, head. It all just felt so good.
For lunch, I had a chicken salad, cheesecake, and a glass of pink champagne. I ate in the same room that my Facial was in. The plate with my lunch was set on a table, that had been pulled out to form a half circle. I sat facing the window, looking out onto the street I drove down to get here. As I ate alone, I watched the cars drive by, and really enjoyed the being aloneness. There was no rush, no waiter coming along asking if everything is ok. Just me, a very good lunch, and quiet. It was so nice.
Then I was off to get my manicure and pedicure. A manicure is different from just going to get your nails done. My hands were massaged, one more time. My cuticles were softened and cleaned. Then I had my hands placed in gloves containing warm paraffin wax. this is wonderful, it makes your hands so soft. Everyone should get a manicure like this, just to have your hands massaged. I think we forget our hands need extra care sometimes too.
After my hands, it was all about my feet. They were soaked in warm water. Again, rubbed with soft oils, scrubs, and then the callouses that make my feet hurt so bad were scraped off. this lady knew how to rub my little feetsies to make them feel better. I didn't want to walk on them when she was done. We painted my toenails sparkly red, like Dorothee's glass slippers.
I know this isn't something we get to do every day. I am 48 and this is the first time I have ever got to do anything like this before. I believe we all deserve it. go find out if there is someplace like this in your area, and treat yourself, or ask your significant other to treat you. It was a wonderful day.
