Things I am Currently LOVING!

1. Aveda products. Normally I go back and forth between spending a lot of money on shampoo and conditioner, and getting cheap stuff. I recently discovered Aveda's purple shampoo and I'm totally in love. It's AMAZING! It gets the brassy color out of my hair (it's also great for people with gray hair apparently) and it makes my hair insanely shiny. I also bought the conditioner and "style-prep smoother" as well. The Aveda smell is so yummy...I'm totally in love with all of my (expensive!) purchases and will continue to go back to the store as needed. Plus, you get a free hand massage and tea just for entering the store! LOVE.

2. Happy Feet Massages. I refer to this place as heaven on earth. You can get a 40 minute foot rub for 25 dollars! They also massage your head, neck, arms and legs while your feet soak. So lovely! If I were teaching, I'd seriously go here every week. Since I don't' have a job where I'm always on my feet, it would be a big waste of money to go there weekly (even though I'd love to). It's 5 minutes from my house too...which makes it extra tempting!

3. The Melting Pot. I had been there once before for a bachelorette party a few years ago and I have always wanted to go back. Andy and I finally made it there yesterday to celebrate our anniversary and it was sooo lovely! I love the cheese fondue and the chocolate fondue. I could do without the meat fondue, but it's pretty good. The chocolate is by far my favorite though. Last night we chose the chocolate with a hint of peanut butter. So yummy! I told Andy that we need to go back just for drinks and dessert next time. Our bill was slightly outrageous; we could have spent the night in a hotel for what we paid! But whatevs. We only splurge one and a while!

4. My awesome pedicure. I picked out what looked like a normal hot pink nail polish. Turns out, it's NEON pink in the sunlight. You can't see the neon-ness in the picture, but you can see my lovely toes as I'm laying out by our pool while Isla was upstairs with the babysitter. I know, rough life.

Seriously... Fancy Foot massages, expensive hair products, pedicures, yummy resturants, laying by the pool while the babysit watches the kiddo - I want that life for a while! Can't wait to see you in a couple weeks!

Ha! Just wait for my next post when I discuss bankrupcy and living in a box ;) Andy is not happy with my splurges!

LOL - well that one doesn't sound like as much fun at all! I guess I will take my middle of the road lifestyle and deal with it.
