a day at the spa

Today I was pampered like a princess. I enjoyed using the gift certificate for a day at the spa that Doug got me for my birthday. Chris stayed with our new sitter while I had a massage, facial, and a paraffin wax foot treatment. It was very relaxing! Like a little vacation. During the facial, the lady used a pineapple scrub on my face, and let it set with steam blowing across my face for a few minutes. It felt like I was someplace tropical! Often as a mom, it's hard to find time for yourself. Showers are rushed, and personal care routines streamlined. I have always been a low maintenance kind of girl, but now my product usage is really minimal. It was nice to have this time to myself and to feel girly.
