the day before a stress-filled week

Since I knew my mom didn't have plans today (so that meant I didn't need to drive for her! haha!), I set an appointment at Lay Bare, the only waxing salon I know here in the Metro. I was so thrilled to find out from my friend Mishi's cousin that there's actually a salon that specializes in waxing, and there's a branch very near my house. Mind you, I'm so used to shaving my legs and underarms that I forgot how it feels like to have them waxed. Thank God they use cold wax! Honestly, it was a very relaxing process. It stung a bit at first, but after the first five swipes I was practically dozing off on the bed. I definitely recommend Lay Bare to anyone who wants to have a good waxin'! :)

I was about to leave the building where Lay Bare's located when I noticed that there was a nail spa beside it. I checked out the rates of the services, and I immediately went in. Hahaha! My not-so-cheap thrills in life include getting a good mani and pedi. The name of the place is Get Polished! and it's quite a nice, homey nail spa. Now I have two places I'll go to every week or two. It's great that Lay Bare and Get Polished! are beside each other. I'll take pictures of Get Polished! this Thursday when I go back for my pedi. I only got a mani today because I had my toe nails done last week for my friends Mishi and Raiza's graduation.

And oh oh oh!! I bought fabric this Friday for the dress and top I'm going to have sewn maybe this week. I saw a blouse and dress in one of my Preview magazines that I want to pattern the top and dress after. I can't wait to have them done!! I don't have the time to learn how to make patterns and sew (yet!). I keep on telling myself I have to learn how to do these things but I haven't given them time yet. Anyway, I might as well learn on my own. I have the net to rely on :) I'll try to post shots of the fabric this Thursday. I'll post all the pics I'm supposed to share this Thursday. God, it's been so stressful at work that I haven't had the time to blog at all. Whenever I go home, I'm so sleepy I just check my email, facebook, and multiply.

Will post something again on Thursday...till then, everyone! :)

Something that you guys might want to think about...what are your cheap or not-so-cheap-but-relatively-affordable thrills? Is it buying the cheap chocolates you can get at any 711? Is it purchasing ice cream on a very sunny day? Tell me! :)
