A week from next Monday (April 16-22) is Spa Week. I recommend you book your appointments ASAP, because at $50 a pop, they fill up fast. By pop I mean service, of course.
You do have to input an e-mail address and some basic information to be on their list, but it’s worth it to see which spas are on the list and which treatments they offer at the special price. Be sure to select your major city in the drop-down menu on the left. I’ve found some reputable spas in Beverly Hills participating.
Once you see which service you would like, call the spa and book your appointment. You’ll find some services regularly going for $100+ at this special, so take advantage. I plan on getting a facial.
So as you can see, I’m in one of my episodes where I feel like I need to splurge on act of pampering myself. This is not good because I really need to be saving for Europe consistently up until the fall. Spa Week specials conveniently alleviate me of all (ok, some) guilt.
I’ve been going to physical therapy to rehabilitate and strengthen my shoulder. Yesterday, I had my physical therapy session alongside my doctor, while he was having his session. It was surreal, but interesting. Seemed as though he had an achilles heel injury or something, as I had remembered his walking around in a cast prior to my own surgery. He and his therapist were exchanging occupational gossip in say, the Orthopaedic Trauma department or something. Well, the best part really, was overhearing him talk about an hour-long massage he got at The Massage Company up on La Cienega for $40, whereby the girl doing his Swedish massage had “the strongest thumbs.” I was sold. I interjected and found out the details. Cross-street is Holloway. I plan on taking advantage, although my massage of choice is deep tissue. Work.
It’s a lot easier overcoming the guilt of $90-plus-tips for both a massage and a facial.
Love,

Scary, I hope he or she got out ok. Why doesn’t it surprise me it was a BMW?
Once when I was on the highway, there was a pickup truck in front of us that tried to swerve to the left to get in front of a small sports car ahead of him. The driver lost control, overcompensated in turning back right, and wound up smashing head on into the left side of the little sports car.
Little bit of patience goes a long way!
pamper away! i’m gonna take advantage of the cheap manicures/pedicures/exfoliations/reflexology treatments here! yea! wow! that’s crazy you saw the whole accident basically in slowmo! whoever it was…poor person…
yeah i’ve seen something like that on the 5 freeway…i was just going aroung 65 or so..and then the freeway just started slowing down and then so we all slow down. then i hear…screeching noise…a car out on the emergency lane locks up…and slides all the way over to the center like right in front of me! (somehow people just stopped when the screeching started, so there was space between the cars in front of us and where the crazy car ended up). he hit the center head on (but due to sliding across the whole freeway he wasn’t going super sonic speed). i was like thinking…10 more feet and i would have been hit!
thanks for your support…i just hope to finish.
One of my absolute favorite things about Costa Rica is that services cost less (most goods do not), so I can get a full pedicure (I mean FULL) for $5, my hair highlighted for $25, and an hour-long massage for $15. Ahhhh, life is so good and this is one holiday I’ll be happy to celebrate!
