Habitude

I've been having blog withdrawals. My computer has been acting up and has been unmanageable. Unfortunately we just got a diagnosis for an unfixable computer. I'm hoping that we can manage to get my files and photos off of my machine. Robb is able to get it to turn on and work every once in awhile. So now I have to start using his (well, now our) computer. So, on to my first blog posting on a different computer....

In early November I finally cashed in my March birthday present from Robb. I went to the Habitude day spa in Ballard for a morning of pampering. It was my first spa experience and it was heavenly. I arrived mid-morning and was shown the locker room. It's really inadequate to call it a locker room. It's more like a quiet oasis with a place to put your clothes. I put on a luxurious robe and flip-flops and went to a private room for and hour-long facial. After the facial I moved on to another room for my massage. The full-body massage included a hot scalp treatment. My hair was brushed, oils added, scalp massaged. Then I moved on to the hot sauna and enjoyed a smoothie. Finally I headed back to the locker room and took an incredible shower. I got home mid-afternoon and just hung out on the couch the rest of the day so I could ensure my zen wasn't interrupted. It was an awesome experience. I can't believe I've gone 25 years without having a massage or facial before. Unfortunately, it will probably be another 25 years before we can afford sending me to the spa again. Man I wish I was rich....
