Mother-to-Be Special

They say your hair, skin, and nails are amazing during pregnancy. People talk about the glow and that healthy shine in your hair. My ass. That's all I have to say. My face is so broken out, I would rather hide in my room than let anyone see my face, and if, by healthy hair, they meant everywhere but on your head, then they were right about that part. So, to make myself feel less like some creature from the deep, I had a Mother-to-Be special at the spa down the street.

I thought it was a little pricey, $215, but if I had the money to do it every week, I would never leave that place! It was the best I've felt in a LONG time. First, I got a pedicure and manicure. I'm not one for fingernail polish, but it was worth it just for the foot massage you get! I actually want to look at my feet now, and my fingernails all match. Also, I loved the whole staff, from my manicurist to my stylist. First, the manicurist and I talked about vacation. And now my toenails and fingernails are a shiny shade of coral.

Then, I got a massage. I didn't know how much stress I had in my back until it was gone, and it felt great! I feel like I will be the happiest person alive as long as the stress doesn't come back, which, I give a day, tops. The masseuse was probably my favorite person of the day. She was hilarious. I don't know what it is about massages, but your mouth seems to ease with your tension, so I told her all the dramas of my pregnancy. I must say, my day was made when I told her about Evan's crazy ex who stalks me and she said "Oh, my God. What a nut-case crack whore!" It was amazing!

After that, I got a facial, where I was basically told never to touch my face again. She said my face will eventually heal from the acne this beautiful blessing has graced me with, and in the meantime, all I could do was wait. Then, she used some tool to suck out my blackheads and put a mask on me.

My last service was a hair cut and style. My hair refused to cooperate today, and she tried three times to style my hair before her next appointment without success. I love the cut though! She gave me her card and told me to call and set up a time to just come in and get my hair played with because she was curious to see what products would work best. I'm up for that, so I will be calling soon.

My day was over-all fabulous. Then, I had to come back to my dark little dorm room hell, but at least I felt cute! It was well worth the money, and I will be doing it again at least once before this baby is born!
