Us females do a lot to take care of ourselves or for our men.I personally take care of myself cus it makes me happy and makes me feel good, but whatever your reason here are my reviews on a few things, i've broken them down by category....
Hands and Feet:
If you like to get your feet done and you want the best pampering ever i reccomend Isle Pedispa off Kirby. Omg its amazing. Its not like most spas that have a place for your hands and feet, this place is just for your feet. Its not cheap so go there for a real treat or a great gift. You sit in a little booth just for you with your own tv, a heated neck wrap, wine and then select from their menu what you want. I of course went for the whole shebang ( i wasnt paying :) ) I got rubbed, salt rubbed into my legs, milk poured down and massaged into my legs, my legs and feet scrubbed, massaged, soaked in wax and hot tub and so much more. Omg i was in heaven
we had a pediparty and they let us bring food and everything in there and accomodated quite a bit of us. The service was great and if i could afford it i would go ALL THE TIME!!!!
I'm going to another pediparty today at another spa, i'll review it later....
In between trips i always give myself weekly pedicures as i find it SUPER relaxing. the best feet prodcuts i have found that the Tru Blue products at bath and body works are awesome. They leave my feet so soft, my cuticles all nice and if you get the hand line, the clear nailpolish/strengthener makes my nails look so shiny and gorgeous. makes me feel good and saves me money from the nail place.
waxing
ok so i have had two wax experiences in my life and well the first was pretty traumatic. before our all girls boat trip i went in for a brazilian and well it was awkward and it hurt and i swore i would never go back!!!! any girl who has had one done can probably tell you a really funny story about their first time. my mom cracked up when i told her.
well then i decided to go to costa rica so i changed my mind, however, i had a lady who was less awkward and i think better and it didnt hurt AS BAD. it probably helped that the second time i took advil before and had a class of champagne so it was tolerable. as always i laughed through the whole thing to make it more enjoyable and less awkward....
i went to European Wax Center in Riveroaks. they have several locations and if its your first time some treatments are free ( eyebrows, underarms or bikini) my first time since i upgraded to brazilian i just paid the difference. I think it was like 13. If you are an avid waxer they even have memberships that make your treatments really affordable.
The place is really nice and i will definitely go back. its perfect if you are gonna be on vacation in a bathining suit and you dont want to have to worry about that sort of thing.
Tanning
i am all about wanting my skin to look amazing when i'm old. no wrinkles here and if you ever met my grandmother or saw pictures of her, knew her etc you would have noticed her radiant nearly wrinkle free skin at 80 years old. She was a walking ad for cold cream and took care of her skin every single day. she bestowed that to my mother and my mom has carried it on to me. In additiont to my skin and face regime i have to make sure i take care of my pale skin from the sun. I dont tan and if i do its like everyone elses pale and certain parts of my body just freckle. I dont want to be that old lady covered in freckles.... so if i need to be tan for something i do spray tan. I already wrote a blog about my first experience but i have since had another one and well the girls at throwing copper are AWESOME. my tan lasts, its even, no streaks, i dont feel retarded being butt naked and sprayed, they have great followups with their customers... I LOVE IT. read my blog about it and check out some of my vacation and halloween pictures to see how it turned out....
why damage my skin when i can be brown without it!
good and bad stuff... wink wink
I recently was at a girls night event at the Rice hotel and passed a booth for Booty parlor. Its kind of like those "pleasure party" things. they asked me if i wanted to have one and i was like " why the heck not!!!"
My girlfriend let me host it at her house and well we had a blast. I think some people are hesitant about those kind of parties cus they dont know what to expect. it was my first and i didnt know what to expect but its one of those situations where you can make it as innocent or as bad as you want it to be. We had an absolute blast!!! I made sangria and food ( both were a hit, esp the sangria.... its been requested again...) and we made new friends and just laughed and laughed.
Everyone bought something and like i said it was as innocent or as naughty as you made it. if you just wanted some bubble bath and lipgloss than you did, some of the girls opted for the kinkier things but no one judged anyone and like i said we just laughed and laughed and LAUGHED and had a blast. in fact we are having another one. If you want to have a party i can pass along the name of the girl who hosted ours.... fun times
i bought their body butter and omg it smells amazing and leaves your skin soft for days!!!
I got more but i will have to get back to ya.....
