has it been so uneventful this past week, that i actually have nothing to blog about? or have i just been so busy that i can't remember what i even did yesterday? i'm not sure what's going on. everything seems like such a blur......
however, having said that, one of the highlights of the weekend was my facial......i went to skoah, after finding it on internet and finding out that sunny enjoyed her last experience there. facialiscious. what more can i say? the name says it all! for 75 heavenly treatment minutes, i was cleansed, toned, exfoliated, extracted, detoxified, and foot/leg, back/neck and scalp massaged. i have also had facials at beverly's spa on 4th, eccotique and the kingfisher.....and i have to say that skoah is by far my favourite (mind you, kingfisher ranks a very very close 2nd place thanks to the heated mud pack for your back). those 75 minutes were totally focused on me......my personal trainer devoted almost every single minute to my needs. i wasn't abandoned for more than 2 minutes when she went to get my "personalized" skin care products. i said up front that i was really looking forward to the extractions of my (many) blackheads. girls, she got every single one of them out! it's a slightly painful experience, but i focused on the greater good of my skin, and suffered through the enjoyment (except for the few minutes where i fell asleep! - it's THAT good!).
skoah is definitely going to be the place i go to from now on. girls w/sensitive skin might want to beware......one of the masks that was used was a bit strong......she warned me to tell her if my skin started to burn. i'm not sure what that would have felt like, but there was some extreme tingling for about 5 minutes. beauty hurts :-) when i was finished, my skin had the skoah glow-ah. i can't wait until my quickie facial next monday. i'm very excited! this was the best spent $90. beauty also comes at a small price :P
so my facial was a great start to a rainy saturday. the afternoon went by as mediocre, and then we went out for andy's b-day dinner at keg caesars. i was all steak-d out, so i opted for ribs and added a cluster of dungeness crab (the special). we had no plans for after dinner, so of course i suggested we play a little poker! so off we went to the rock.....again. i love this place. i was doing even better than monday night.......at one point i was up almost $100, but then i wasn't quite ready to go home, so i left up $5. but then i thought i'd try my luck at MY slot machine again. this time it ate my money, so i left the casino even. oh well. better than down.
