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!

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.

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.

Last year, we had attended a bridal show up in Toronto – and this year we are planning on going for another one.  Not because I am getting married again – but because it’s fun to go on a road trip with my girlfriends.   One of them has a RV and we don’t even need to be driving because her spouse will be doing the driving.   It’s nice to have an RV and of course a 5th wheel insurance that goes with it – and we girls are so lucky to have a friend’s spouse who would drive us up to Toronto once a year.  We get to eat, shop and watch the bridal show and come home with a lot of photos for my friend’s bridal shop here in town.  We get treated so well during the event, champagne,  mini sandwiches and all sorts of fruit tarts that you can eat.  I love the make over too – and the tips we pick up from the bridal show and all the new product samples that we get.   All our money we bring are spent on ourselves – we don’t have to pay for gas for the RV or hotels – pretty awesome trip.

Yes! you would never read about me shopping at a Hardware store unless it is during Christmas  – for the outlaws loved do stuff with their hands – such as logging wood or repairing their trucks or RV.  This year – the brother-in-law had helped us fixed our truck – as it had a hole near the oil tank – so we are very grateful – and we figured we should get him a good Christmas present this year – and after looking at some miller welding helmets I decided it would be a good investment to get one for him too.   So when I do need his help in future – I don’t have to feel bad about it.  Hahaha!!  another smart shopping decision.

So I told him that’s exactly the way he acts – when he goes shopping with me.  So the spouse replied – well the next time – I’ll just order my coolant pump online – since I can get it in town. HAH! he said to me.  Well, well!  so easy eh ! so i told him ok!  i shall order everything online too – and he can wait for his credit card bills to come and then he would have a great time saying HAH!  hahhaa!!  now see who’s getting the last laugh.
