Spa Day!!

Everyone is trying to stay on the compound a little more because of the terrorist alert in the Mideast.  So, today we had Spa Day at my house!  We had a full day.  First was Zumba at 9:30 am.  Then, 9 ladies came to my house to make and use homemade facials, have lunch and then watch a romantic comedy, which Tran brought over for us.  To get the spa ambience, I dimmed the lights and everyone brought over candles and we placed them in each room.  I had downloaded an album of Spa Music and played it so that it would be relaxing.

Here are two pictures of some of the ladies getting ready to choose and make the facials:

On the table are all the ingredients for the 5 facials.

Putting on the facials:

My mask was Purifying with green tea.

 Karla's was Dry, Chapped with avocado

 Tran and Youngha chose Combination with rose water.

 

Tammy, Cathy and Elizabeth chose Moisturizing.

 Mother chose green tea and daughter chose Moisturizing.

 

After 15 minutes, we washed off the facials and applied commercial masks.  Some of us did the mud mask.

 Some of us did the peel off mask.

 

After removing the masks, we had lunch.  And I can't believe this but I forgot to take pictures of the yummy food:  Lentil soup, toasted bread with parmesan basil butter, vegetable quiche, Thai glass noodle salad, green sticky padan rice, apples, chocolates.

Also, it was Cathy's birthday!!!  We celebrated with birthday apple pie.

Then, we all watched the movie "Bridesmaids".

It was a fun day with a great group of ladies!
