Ahhh...I just had my first facial in 33 years and it was amazing. This seems to be a year of firsts for me. For my birthday in March my friend Heidi took me for my first massage and again - AMAZING. Darren has offered "spa" days for me in the past but I always thought it was too indulgent and I would rather spend the money elsewhere. Well what a difference 4 kids, getting older and appreciation for quiet time makes. I love the whole "taking time for me" thing and it's definitely at the top of my wish lists now. I immediately called Darren after my facial and hinted around about how much I loved it and couldn't wait to do it again...anniversary in 3 days maybe? Anyways, I'm all for spa days and can't wait for my next one. I'm going for the package deal: massage, facial and pedicure. What's better then that?

I've never had any of that done Em. But you make it sound appealing....

Em- you better call me next time you go. The massage I had on Satursday was the first one in like 7 years. I've never had a facial... and a all-in-one spa day sounds divine. You can't forget me next time you go!

Us Sorensen sister never have had a problem at hinting to what we want or even outwardly giving suggestions for up coming gift ideas, do we? I've been giving Jake major hints since Tess & now Sophie is born that I want "mothers rings (kids birthdstone)" or a "push presents" for my girls(ie. diamond ring for my right hand). There's no shame in that, right?

my first facial wasn't a great experience. I had a date with john and I wanted to especially beautiful... well the lady poked at my face so much I looked like I the measles. John was nice and said he didn't notice - then when my friend walked in she said, "OH MY GOSH! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR FACE?" I've had better ones since.

EM, I want to know what comment you deleted!!! what was it???

Emily said...

I didn't post it, someone else did. I'm curious as well. Anyone?

Wendy said...

it wasn't me but it could just be someone who accidently posted the same comment twice so they deleted one. I don't know though.

Tracy said...

Sorry it was me. Some reason when I posted my comment, it posted it twice. SO I deleted the second one. I wasn't trying to be sneaky... just covering my tracks.

You know, I've been trying to talk you into going for regular massages for a long time - glad you're finally on board! ;-) When are we going!?!? :-)

Paul gave me a certificate for a massage, body wrap, and pedicure for Valentine's. I haven't gone yet. I don't even want my husband to see me naked and he's vastly responsible for the stretchmarks, etc! Maybe I'll trade it for facials, pedicures, or manicures.
