Since I started my new job this year, I haven't been able to hang out with my friends Kristin and Jessica as much. I love my new job, but in one of those "woe-is-me-moments" likely following a tv show with lots of girlfriends hanging out, I told Shonn how much I missed seeing them. So, being the great guy he is, Shonn called Cory and Jay (Kristin & Jess's significant others) and arranged a spa day for the three of us as part of our Christmas presents. It was so thoughtful and exciting when he gave it to me!
So, yesterday Jess came over and we drove down to Kristin's house in Effingham. It was especially good to have some time with Jessica because I haven't seen her in months AND she is moving to California in two weeks. I'm so excited for her because she's starting a whole new life, but I'll miss having the easy option of getting together. California is... far. But a very good vacay spot... Hmmm... So, anyway, we got a chance to catch up and "girl talk" about all the exciting changes in her life.
We got to Kristin's and headed to the spa, where we each were going to get a mani, pedi, and massage. We were the only three people there all morning, so we had the place to ourselves. It was so much fun; we laughed and talked the whole time.
As you can see, the pedi chairs were really high - like shoe shiners' thrones - and they did some kind of roman sandal toe separator thing. I've never had that done before. (Should have taken the pic after the paint...)The girls working there were so cute and nice. This one had especially cute hair that got Kristin in the short-hair mode again. That is actually how Kristin's hair looked when she first got it cut.
Kristin and Jess both got dark colors on their nails and I stuck with my standard bubble-bathy color. The one I picked this time was called Cuddle by the Fire, though, which is yet another clever and cute name by those OPI folks. What a fun job...Kristin is wearing these awesome hand warmer things that were approximately 1000 degrees, which was okay because it was negative one outside. Not exaggerating.
California- bound! Jess got all purply colors...I think as a sign of how much she's going to miss Shelbyville Rams and making popcorn at basketball games....
That cup I'm holding is actually one of the coolest things I've seen in awhile. You might be thinking, "It's just a disposable cup - Christy's weird." You'd only be half right! It's a reusable plastic cup made from recycled material that you can microwave AND put in the dishwasher. Couple that with its cute design and I'm in love! You can find them at Bed, Bath, and Beyond or at this link: Anyway, we all three got massages by this little but mighty girl who reeeeeeeally got the kinks out (sore today), and then we headed to a cute coffee shop in Effingham called Joe Sippers for lunch.
It was such a fun day and just what I needed. Thanks, girls! (Thanks, Shonn!) xo
