Bridal parties are so fun and I had the privileged of organizing one for my bestie not too long ago – and I was asked to do it for another friend next week. I’ve decided on a spa party – since it would not only be fun – it was something we all needed before the wedding. From pedicure to manicure and a facial – we were all ready to go – except for some special music for the party. But no worries, the spouse has a tascam cd-rw900sl that can burn whatever songs we need – and mix the cd for us from our original cd or the ones we bought from iTunes.
The bridal party is like 3 days before the wedding – because I want to make sure that the bride and the rest of the bridesmaids and maid of honor have time to rest and relax before the big day. I ordered some champagne and wine from Annapolis Valley and Lunenburg and the rest will be taken care of by the spa. Our local spa will be semi closed during the evening to give the party of 6 a spa manicure and pedicure – but the bride gets a facial and a body scrub with steam bath. Now if the rest of the girls want extra stuff done – they can of course – but they are paying for it themselves. There will be finger sandwiches and a salad and lots of fruits and sparkling water during the bridal party. No, no strippers – hahahha!
A month ago, when I was at the spa waxing my eyebrows and my upper lips, my esthetician told me about the re-elasticizing mask, she said that this mask is so good for me – and that I should try it. Apparently, this mask can be added to the to target facial and it provides optimum hydration, calms and soothes, lifts and firms wit results lasting for 5 – 7 days. Good for all skin types – and even sensitive skin – I’m going to try it out this week and will let you know how I find it. It’s an extra $20 on top of whatever facial you have – and if it says it can do what it should do – I’m happy to spend that extra $20.
Beauty sleep is very important to not only one’s health but your skin as well. I was so tired last night I went to bed at midnite and only got up at 8 am – to send the kid to school – and yet I didn’t get a good rest. Friends tell me that it’s my mattress and that a mattress store los angeles has the kind of mattress that would do good for my sleep. If I was in Los Angeles – it would have been perfect but since I’m not – I wonder too if there is anywhere that carries the same kind of mattress that this store in los angeles carries. I also hear that the mattress at the Los Angeles store is 30 – 50% cheaper than other mattresses – now that i an awesome deal eh. I really do need to change my mattress – our mattress is about 7 years old and it was supposed to last longer but I wake up with backache all the time for the last few months and that’s not good at all. Getting a good sleep is very important for keeping me beautiful and a woman needs her beauty rest – I don’t want any back pain nor eye luggages.
So we went shopping at the mall after the new year – to find this new nail store opened for business – now that’s cool – the mall needed something like that – especially for people who loved to shop. So I tried calling the girlfriend to see if she would meet me at the mall – to check out this new nail place – but my cellphone connection wasn’t that great n the mall – wished they would invest in some cell booster – for folks like myself who needs to get good reception all the time. There are some blind spots in the mall – and it can get very frustrating.
Anyhow, I finally gave up calling the friend and took a look around the nail place – it’s pretty equipped as you can see here – and a team of Vietnamese people doing the nails and feet. Their prices are pretty good too – a Pedicure and Manicure is only $45 and they do BIO Gel nails too and Solar Nails and Acrylic Nails. What i’m looking forward to try is the hug massage chair that comes with your pedicure. But wait a minute – I’m also worried about hygiene – I certainly don’t want to catch any fungus – but thus far it’s new – so I should go check it out soon.
After living in the West for 12 yrs – I know when to get stuff at the best prices – these PJs were gotten after the Christmas season – and I bought them for a steal ! at $10 for a 2 piece PJs from Joes that regularly goes for $19.99 – $25.99 – that’s a real bargain right? now if they had more – I would have bought more but I was late – alas! But yes – ! if you really want to get good buys at the right prices – watch out for sale on things – why pay more than you should right? loved new PJs after Christmas!
A blogging friend from New Orleans sent these from New Orleans for New Year – they are body shop gifts that I loved so much. Thank you so much – June! you are too sweet lah!! I loved all my body shop gift – from face cream – to home fragrance and even something for Chloe.
10 bottles of cranberry fragrance oil – woohoo!! now that would last me for a year at least.
And 2 bath lilies for Chloe – thank you very much. I know all the above must have cost you a lot of money – I don’t know how to thank you for your generosity.
Yes! I’ve been boots crazy lately ! but can you blame a girl for wanting to look nice! we were in the city and I saw this and they fit my dress that I am planning to wear for the New Year party – so I bought it – not very expensive – I paid like $110 for them – pretty cool right – my favorite color too – green! and the kind of green i liked too!
I just started to love the wooden wedge kinda sandals and when I saw it in the shop – guess who bought it for Christmas ! woohoo!! yes ! crazy a bit about shoes these days – I have someone make a shoe case for me – just for my shoes. These were going for like $200 – but they were on sale and you can blame a girl for loving the sale right? Good buy for only $92!
Yes! you won’t see me in town this Christmas – we are heading to the South to get some warm and the sun. The hotel we are staying in provides everything – it’s the all inclusive type of vacation but we are not bringing our kids because we are going to be spending a lot of time at the pool. When she is older we will bring her a long – but if only the hotel had a pool gate – i bet all my girlfriends would bring their kids with them. You know when you are on a vacation – you don’t want to be worrying about the kids falling into the pool right? so we rather be safe than be sorry – our homes have pool gates when our kids were young – so such a big hotel – I would say it would be really nice if they do it with the big people’s pool. But anyhow – we are heading to the south for the New Year but only 7 days – see you when we come back.
Yes ! I had to buy myself something right to end the year with something good as everyone tells me – and since I loved handbags so much – I had to get this Marc Jacobs Tangramarama Sam Tote. What a name right? yes! long and weird but I loved the look of the handbag. Made of leather and suede – this handbag cost me about $500 – I know it’s a lot of money – but compared to my LV crazed years – this is nothing.
The other goodie that I bought was this Bow Clutch by J. Crew for less than $50 – it’s on discount – and who can resist a bow clutch – goes with any of my evening wear and cocktail parties even for housewarming.
