Okay, now don't hate me but I have to tell y'all about the services I've been having since working at the best temp assignment EVER!!!
On the top floor of the building is the Elmcrest College of Applied Health Sciences & Spa Management. Most of the student performing the services are graduating next month so they're pretty much industry ready. That's not to say they are speedy. I don't know if I've had so much attention given to my feet since...ever! Because the students need people to practice on before graduation, the services are crazy cheap and for employees booking after 3pm, it gets even cheaper!!
Monday was pedicure and facial. I know "the spa" has this aura of relaxation surrounding it but I have to tell you...sometimes it hurts to be pampered. The esthetician that did my feet said they were in good shape but you would have never known if for the amount of time she spent diggin' at the cuticles of my toes. Yikes! The fun part was trying not to squeal like a little girl when she pumiced the bottoms. Holy cow...skin flying everywhere. It looked like Edward Scissorhands down there!!!
Then the facial. The first part was great. Lotions and soapy stuff, then steam for ages while she finished the polish on my toes. It was awesome. She asked me if I wanted her to do extractions. SURE I reply....little did I know that extractions is another word for digging relentlessly into my pores to clear out any clogs. I almost passed out as she was working the side creases of my nose!!!
At the end of it all I felt shiny and buffed.
Last night was the sea-salt body scrub. It's just as it sounds. They take a lotion with sea-salt in it and scrub your entire body save for your face and neck. Wow. Not as soothing as a massage but still quite relaxing...except for the feat...again....ticklish. Once the salt is all over, they lay plastic down over you and a towel over that to keep in the heat and let you sit for 15 minutes. Then you shower off and they cover you with lotion. As she was doing the lotion portion I thought of how nice it would be to have enough money to have someone apply lotion to your body every day. It's always such a chore when I do it myself. Even starting every day with a salt scrub would be pretty great because it leaves your skin super smooth. I couldn't believe it. And a nice smell to go with it. Delightful!!!

But I think I'm out of service options. I've got tonight and tomorrow open for something but I don't really need anything else. They aren't doing massages this week or else I would have had one every night. So I guess this ends the insanely cheap spa service madness. What a treat.

Jeez Louise! Pretty nice, though you mentioning her digging into the pores at the side of your nose almost made ME pass out.
