Universal Declaration of Women's Rights

Today's order: Grande Skinny Vanilla Latte

Universal Declaration of Women's Rights - Article #27:

All women should have the right to a monthly facial at a really good spa.

I spent a good chunk of yesterday afternoon having "me time". This involved a little shopping for summer bargains (have you seen some of the great new Fall stuff out - I had to restrain myself) and a lot of lying on a luxuriously soft, heated bed while a nice girl (who reminded me a little bit of Bif Naked) massaged my back (and shoulders, and neck, and arms....) and slathered my face in a variety of luscious-smelling creams and lotions, all in a softly lit room with beautiful music playing in the background.

It was heavenly. Now to convince my husband that this is a necessity of life, not a frivolous expense...

I think there's a way to convince him...

let him play unlimited WoW while you're out. After you make him a smorgasbord of snacks.

swoon.... first gifts of awesome shirts and then facials?

You are living my dream life woman!

Facials are second only to pedicures, in my world. I *have* convinced Buddy that those are essential. I'm working on the facial thing.

Unfortunately, he hears "facial" and his brain goes somewhere altogether different.

Ughh, my poor baby carrying body is DYING for a nice massage! Sign me up!!

Kelly said...

I'm right there with ya girl!! I have a gift certificate for a massage that you just reminded me of. Need to make that appointment......

Kimmylyn said...

Hear hear..
I think it is certainly a necessity!!

MommyTime said...

Ahhh... bliss. How about this? Give him an option. Either monthly facials OR twice a year you get a plane ticket to go visit some good friend far away and have a facial at HER favorite spa? (No need to mention the follow-up chocolate martinis or other things; just tell him that at HER spa, the facials last 48 hours and are SOOO worth it.)

AMEN!!!
Remind me again what 'me time' is!

I have to grocery shopping to get me time. How much longer till school starts?

Bunchy said...

Yeah...good luck with that.

oh, i'm all over this one.

is there a petition i can sign to get this enacted as law?

OHmommy said...

That sounds wonderful. I might have to convince my husband that I need some ME time too. He will remind me about SF. LOL.

Wylie - now, my husband doesn't get pedicures. He's all like "they're just feet - can't you paint your own nails?". Facials, on the other hand, fall into the "unknown woman things" category.

Desiree - the best massage I ever had was when I was pregnant. Go, find a place with a special massage table that accomodates pregnant bellies, and book one now. You'll be ever-so-glad you did.

Oh how I want to go for a massage again.

*sigh*

I want a facial so badly. Can't find a way to justify it as long as my husband is unemployed. All the stress has my skin breaking out worse than it ever did when I was a teenager.
