April 30th, 2010Spa In Town

The girlfriend sent out baby announcements to all of us and invited us to a spa in town for a baby shower. Not uncommon these days but if you know how small our town is and how many spas we have here – you can imagine – how expensive it can get. If you are thinking that we let our girlfriend foot our bill for the spa – then you are wrong – we can never do that – we care about our girlfriend too much. Anyhow, the baby shower was more for the mummy than us – we just want her to be happy. It was expensive if you are thinking of throwing one too – but it was all in the name of good fun and cheer. For a 45 mins destressing facial – it cost us about $65 + tax and don’t forget to tip your esthetician too eh. Yes ! they do expect it – and even the home based spa in town that I used to go – she expects as much as $5 in tips. I do love going to spas – i for one used to go every 3 weeks when i was in Asia but here in Canada – I don’t think I am paying for value for money – if you know what i mean – so unless it was for a special occasion – i rather save my money for good skin care – what about you?
