The best lunch ever......

Well, it wasn't food for lunch but it was on my lunch hour ~ now that I think about it ~ it's one heck of a diet plan! So it made it the BEST lunch hour EVER!!!! =) I went to the Aveda Spa on and received a FREE Express Aromatherapy Facial! Yes, FREE!!!! It was sooooooooooo wonderful!!!! This is where I get my hair cut on a regular basis! After the hurricane the owners were so kind to give away one of the following three Spa Services due to hurricane "Ike" to their regular customer!
Express Facial (Value $55)
30 Minute Massage (Value $55)
Express Pedicure (Value $50)

Let me just start off by saying it was heavenly! I had never had a facial before! I'm really weird about my face (someone touching it) and my skin tone! I have oily skin and I'm always thinking I'm going to turn into one BIG zit (I think it has to do with the weather in Texas)! I wasn't to sure about having someone put a bunch of foreign products on my face! I was worried I would walk out of there with a huge zit or at least wake up the next morning with one! Well, that wasn't the case! It was soooooooooooo fabulous! It wasn't just a facial - I got a foot soak, she massaged my neck, shoulders hands and feet - I had HUGE knots in my neck and shoulder area she worked out! She washed my face, massaged my face, put hot towels on my face, misted a aromatherapy spray over my face and applied a mud/clay mask to pull out the impurities! I'm hooked!!!! It was WONDERFUL!!! I sooooooooooooooooo needed that down time!!! This could not have came at a more PERFECT time ~ it was the PERFECT week to have a FREE facial!!!!

I would like to report I woke up this morning "zit free" which was my greatest fear from getting a facial!!!! I will now book my next appointment! They sold me!!!! My face is baby butt soft!!!! Not that my face is rough but it's just soooooooooooooo soft!!!


The weather is soooooooooooo nice out! You can tell fall is upon us! October is the BEST time of year! I love fall decorations! I love Halloween! I love dressing up for Halloween! I even noticed a few Halloween contest going on in bloggy land!

It seems as if Leigh and Shannon have the contest for October & Halloween covered! I'm thinking I'm going to host a contest for Thanksgiving! Help me out here! I'm thinking I will give away a gift card to the best TURKEY DAY SPREAD! I know how all of us bloggers LOVE to take pictures of what we cook, eat, serve and decorate! So why not make a FUN ~ EXCITING ~ COOL contest out of it?!?!? I will NOT be the judge! I don't want my blog friends to think I'm bias! =) I will have a non blogger pick the winner!

I'm sooooooooooooooooo ready for the weekend! This has been one L-O-N-G week! We have a few projects we are going to work on over the weekend (closet doors and bathroom/bedroom doors)! We are going to try and unpack everything! We are going shopping for a storage shed! We are going to the grocery store to fill up our NEW fridge - It's still empty from "IKE" (I love going to the grocery store)! We have been on the road so much (moving/packing) we have been eating nothing but junky fast food ~ last nights dinner was Taco Bell! I'm sure I've gained ever more weight! We just haven't unpacked the scales!!! I think I might just keep them boxed up! lol
