My toes are now officially ready to head to Ireland in 10 days.
My brother and SIL gave me a gift certificate to Coldwater Creek Spa for Christmas. Yesterday, as a "I survived Easter Feast and clean-up" reward I went for a pedicure.
Oh.
My.
Goodness.
Before yesterday, I was one of those people who looked down from a high-and-mighty perch on those foolishly extravagant people who indulge in spa services. The two or three pedicures I've had in my life were done by students at a beauty school. The cheapest beauty school I could find.
I repent.
Before you die, if you truly want to appreciate the coming glories of heaven, do everything you can to go to a spa, just once. Trust me. You will praise Jesus better for having done so.
With that bit of loveliness and a new pair of walking shoes I'm ready to hit the road!
10 days people!!
John gave me the gift of a facial at a spa last Christmas. I had similar views of people who were "so extravagant" and spent so much money to do those kinds of things.
ReplyDeleteI also repented. ;-)
HEAVEN.
Can't wait to do it again. ;-)
Thanks for your kind comments on Katie's birth story post. I was purposefully trying to bring a careful balance of the "interesting" and the "gory" while I was writing, so it was nice to know I succeeded for you! :-)
I still don't understand a mindset that can justify regular spa membership at those prices. The spa assistants knew some of the clients by name! Eventually you have to admit there has to be a limit to how much you indulge yourself and consider missions, orphans and basically all those living outside the USA. :) However, I do hope, just once before I die, to have a whole spa-day! Heaven is right.
ReplyDeleteYou crack me up!!!
