Birthday Pampering

For Chris’ Fortieth Birthday

Wednesday, October 27

 

 

Our daughter Deb, daughters-in-law Chris and Kristen, and me.

Our first stop was at a salon near Deb’s house for a fabulous pedicure/massage

 

 

 

I loved my pedicure/massage, but I most enjoyed watching the girls appreciate their special treatment.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The orange scrub was wonderful and smelled like an orange creamsicle.

 

 

 

 

Can you guess what the next treatment was?

 

 

Paraffin heat infusion

 

 

After dipping our feet in paraffin several times, they were wrapped in plastic.

 

 

 

Next we received a peppermint mask to relax our leg muscles.

 

 

 

 

Then our legs were wrapped in a hot towel.

 

 

Ohhhhhhhhh this feels wonderful

 

 

 

 

 

 

Removing the paraffin

 

 

 

 

Warm oil spray

 

 

Hot rock deep pressure massage

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our legs and feet were happy for a long time.

 

 

Beautifying our toe nails

 

 

We each got french pedicures

 

 

We hadn’t planned to get manicures, but being pampered was just too much fun!

 

 

Our last stop was Cafe 24 Hundred in DoubleTree Resort at Willow Valley where we felt like we had been transported to Europe. Each of us chose appetizers for our meal (because we saw the dessert menu).

 

 

Deb’s Black & Blue Steak Points

 

 

Chris and Kristen chose Roasted Beet Salad
