Wow! It's been awhile since I posted something.. it's probably coz I didn't want to babble about nonsense or anything not too exciting. Haha!
I'm so grateful for this month! I mean seriously!! 3 massages in 1 month is so awesome! Talk about major pampering lol!
So let me start off by my first pampering. It was a gift from my good friend, Stephanie Houchens (now last name, Roberts) :)
Anyway, as a gift for her bridesmaids, she took us to a spa out in Victorville called "Athena Jean Salon and Day Spa." The experience there was amazing. The bridal party were the only ones at the salon. We totally felt like royalty and it was incredible. We felt like queens, princesses, celebrities, whatever! All I know was, it was basically Women Heaven! haha.. They fed us little fruit cups and refilled it every time we wanted more, then for lunch time, we had salad, cold sandwiches, and pita chips with dip. I mean, we were there from 9 til almost 3 pm. From mani-pedi to getting massages and a facial. It was totally a blast. I even remembered when Brittany (maid of honor) walked out from her massage, I told her she looked like she just had sex hair or something.. lol.. but she said to wait til it was my turn and see how it's like. I was the last ones to get my massage. And she was totally right!! After my massage and facial, it felt like my soul went over the rainbow. Haha! I totally forgot where I was!! After that, we all went down to Riverside where the dinner party was held and to have one last girl's night/sleepover with our dear friend!!! :)
For the 2nd pampering, was a funny experience since I was with my wonderful husband Curt! Lately Curt and I have been stressed from school and work! (Can you totally relate?) Well, after trying to figure out on what to do to relieve our stresses, I decided that both of us need some pampering time and to get a massage for our own sake. So.... I got us a "couples massage" appointment at Healing Mountain School of Massage Therapy. Yay!!!! =)
So this is how our night went:
Our appointment was at 7:30 pm. We came from home at around 5ish to 6, Curt made dinnner, Honey Mustard Chicken with Rice (which was amazing! seriously, the guy can cook! When I cook, it's either good coz of luck or I just burn it!) Anyway, a little after 7, we left and drove to the place. At first, it was hard to find because it was pretty much hidden but we managed and found it. Right when we entered the building, you could totally just smell the aromas that was coming from the place. When we got there, we got appointed to 2 students. I had the older student and Curt got this cute girl who looked like she was 18 or 19 years old. We were guided to a room where it had 2 massage tables and then they just left. At first, I knew we had to de-robe and get prepared but since they didn't say anything, Curt and I just walked around the room and started talking. He was really nervous coz he had a young girl. Haha! 10 mins later, they came back and were surprised that we were still dressed. We all laughed and gave us privacy again to prepare. A few mins later, we were ready to get our back massages. The massage was nice. It wasn't as pro as the salon spa that I went 2 weeks ago but it was still good. Our session was 70 mins long. After the massage, we were all relaxed. Curt had some funny things to say about the girl who massaged him. He came to me after they left and said "I was just imagining it was you massaging me coz it felt like that the girl was inlove with me." I laughed coz I thought it was funny. Another reaction of his was when we got dressed, the 2 students gave us water to "flush out the toxins.." Curt's face just got shocked and looked at me. He whispered.. "What toxins is she talking about? Did they put toxins in our body?" Gosh, I'm so thankful for my husband! He just cracks me up! LOL...
Last massage for the month was when I went back 2 days later with my in-laws: Jill, Holly, and Carrie. These 3 ladies are seriously so wonderful. I could've never asked for a better family. Anyway, we had various types of massages. Jill got the Hot Stone Swedish Massage, Holly got the Deep Muscular Massage, Carrie got Swedish Massage, and I got the CranioSacral Therapy (sounds weird? it's totally like a major meditation thing to help my migraines and backaches) Most of us had a good experience except for poor Carrie. She didn't like hers that much since he wasn't that good. Too bad!! I promised her we'll go again next month for sure.
The funny thing about hers was that she had a pack of kleenex in her hand while being massaged and when he got to the arm and hand part, the therapist gave her a weird look took and put it back after massaging her hand. It was fun!!
Well, that's my story for major October pampering! Hope you enjoyed reading this really long blog! xoxo
