Yesterday, I didn't post early because we had to get the kids off to school and then get Jocelyn to Legends in Carytown.
The kids and I bought her a gift card last year for a massage and a facial. She never scheduled her apppointment. I finally forced the issue, knowing that I would be home this week.
After three hours, I picked her up and took her home. She napped. She had a good day. She looked so radiant after the facial treatment that she had that first trimester glow.
As we walked to the car, Jocelyn kept babbling about the "next" time she goes. Oh boy. Maybe it was a good thing that she put it off for nearly a year.
Gift tip: there is absolutely nothing wrong or unthoughtful about giving your significant other some quality spa time. I've never heard Jocelyn complain about it being a waste of time or painful or anything but blissful. As the giver of the gift, be prepared to shuttle the recipient back and forth to the spa. Depending on the level of service, they probably won't be in shape to drive afterwards.
Expect bodywork to be a secret to happiness soon.
Do you have a spa experience, good or bad, that you'd like to share?

There needs to be some sort of law about driving after a spa visit.
My significant other got me a gift certificate for my birthday, but I drove myself when I finally went for my massage. Bad idea! When I went back for my facial, etc. I made him drive. :-)
I agree. It's as dangerous as being sleepy or under the influence. Should spas be held responsible for letting their clients go before they're fully rejuvenated?
I find myself staying at a hotel when I go to my favorite spa...then I just have to hop the elevator to my floor. So far I haven't missed my room yet, but I bet it's possible after a full body massage.
We'll have to find a spa connected to a hotel then. That sounds safe. If I leave her alone though, I could go broke on room service charges.
