Time to jaunt over to the spa

Pep pep! Time to jaunt over to the spa and get a facial and massage on my day off!

I had an extra vacation day from last year so I decided to take today off. It’s especially nice, since we just got back from our Quebec City trip last night and I woke up early to pick Alfie up from the dog sitters (which is actually our trainer who is superbly awesome with him).  Today is a day to catch up and relax.

I’ve never had a facial before, so I’m pretty excited about that. My first spa massage in a few years was just in November and it was pretty relaxing, but this time I’m getting a deeper tissue massage to get out any knots in my back.

I’ll try to take some photos in the spa if I can, not sure if that would be allowed or not, we’ll see. Also I want to tell you all about our weekend getaway!

Have you ever been to a spa?
I honestly never go to these places, but I had some gift cards I needed to use up, so I’m usin’ them up today!

Ever get a professional massage?
This will be my third one.

Happy Valentines Day

Happy Valentines Day you love birds!

eos goodiesHope you all are sharing the love today. I certainly did with eos lip balms. On Tuesday a nice parcel of goodies were delivered to me, and I handed them out to three lucky gals. 

julie-with-eos-lipbalmJulie picked out the Pomegranate Raspberry.  It’s her first time ever using anything by eos. She loved it

eos strawberry sorbetAmy tweeted that she received her eos Strawberry Sorbet in the courier that I sent to her!

Then I gave my boss the purple cutie, which was Passion Fruit.

eos-hand-lotionWhat I did keep for myself is the slim shaped hand lotion in Berry Blossom and the tropical tree growing kit. Let’s cross our fingers in hopes that I can keep this thing alive. No one gives me plants anymore, nor do I have any living one’s at home/work due to the fact that within the month, it’s dead. Please don’t ask me how I kill plants that quick, but it happens.

I’ve had two gorgeous bonsai trees within the past few years and both of them didn’t last 6 months. I LOVE the look of them, which is why I got a second one. I’m actually thinking of picking up one for work. Maybe the window wasn’t good for it, at home? I have a nice toasty warm office sans window at work, so perhaps it would thrive there. I’m keeping this tropical growing kit (supposedly pomegranate!?!) at work. I’ll let you know how things go :)

Are you all doing something special with your significant others, or friends? The Boyf and I have a tradition of going to McDonald’s on Valentines Day. No joke. It became a thing with us when we started dating. I lived in Newfoundland and he moved to Ontario shortly after.  I flew up a few times throughout the year and one time when I was flying home it happened to be on Valentines Day. The date had slipped our minds and while driving to the airport we were both starving, and popped into McDonalds to grab a tasty feast.

Ever since our first Valentines Day together, we’ve been keeping up the tradition. Except for last year. I think we broke it since we ate somewhere else. But still. I definitely want to eat supper there tonight! I love McDonalds.

What is your favorite Valentines Day memory?

On cloud 9 feelin’ fresh faced and fancy free

1 Comment

I just want to pop in here this evening to tell you all that I feel like I’m on cloud 9 right now.

A weight has been lifted off my shoulders which seemed like it was on me since September/October of last year. Without getting into too much detail for personal reasons, I said what was needed to be said and it felt amazing. I feel amazing and so very proud of myself for telling it like it is. Even if I got a little purple in the face and needed to step away to “take a breather” after all was said and done.

vitamin-water-zeroThen. I sat back down — cracked open a bottle of vitamin water zero and enjoyed. So fruity, so juicy. I felt like I was getting hugs and kisses hence the perfect name, for the perfect opportunity to drink it.

Have you guys ever tried this out? I’ve had the original vitamin water’s before but there’s new ones out with zero calories. Or something. It’s delicious. I reserve them for my 3pm snack time at work. I do not share.

I tweeted the other day this funny one liner (if I do say so myself) to vitamin water:

tweetThey apparently loved my enthusiasm. Psh, who doesn’t? ;)

vitamin-water_zeroOh the triple threat. Three delicious flavors (go-go, xoxox, and resilent-c). Three different flavor parties in my mouth. Honestly? I had no idea what to expect when drinking it. I thought it was going to taste either like watered down juice, or water with a hint of flavor. But it’s thirst quenching goodness that my taste buds are happy that I fulfill.

bulk-barn-valentines-day-caI went to Bulk Barn right after work and picked up some sweets for my sweet for Valentines Day tomorrow ;) Isn’t the bag the cutest?

Anyway. Enough blabbering on. Have a great night folks!
