Never Ever Dull
With every conversation, I always seem to end with "Never a dull moment"....our lives are rich, complex, and beautiful stories. Join me in laughing about everyday things and appreciating life-bumpy roads and all.
This week, I scheduled an afternoon to pamper me. I hear of women getting facials all the time and decided to make an appointment as part of my Splurge-on-Me day. I guess I'm not like the other women out there because the receptionist people were stunned when I said I am new to facials. As I tried to relax and enjoy "the experience", I begin to compare it all to a car wash.
First, Christopher, the aesthetician who seemed overly eager to start my transformation, placed the steamer near my face. I felt the warm spray but started to consider it like the "pre-rinse" cycle I turn to when I wash my car. The only real difference is that I don't have mud, snow, or bird poop caked on to my face. Christopher continues to tell me to relax as he spreads some pumpkin mixture on my face. My cheeks tingle and he lathers it all into my skin. This would be the "soap with brush" cycle now being applied to my face. Again, Christopher emphasizes that facials should be relaxing. But my brain races and I keep wondering what he is putting on my face: a thick layer that smells like a fresh salad with cucumber, lemon something, etc. I want to ask exactly which meal he is making on my face but can't because I keep getting "rinsed" off with hot (really smokin' hot towels). Then there's the final extra layer of lotions that are massaged into my skin. I think this would be the "wax" treatment that finished my entire car wash...I mean, facial experience. I walked out realizing that I did feel new and refreshed or was that just the "new car smell"? Hmmmmm.....
