I pride myself in the fact that my chick friends and I aren’t excessively prissy. Except for the occasional eyebrow waxing/threading and regular haircuts, we’re all pretty self-reliant when it comes to keeping ourselves groomed. But every once in awhile, it’s nice to be pampered. This past Christmas, Rochelle gifted Iya, Cile and me with a certificate for a manicure & pedicure at Harmony Nails. For 7 months we tried to find a day when the four of us were available to get primped.
Finally we encountered a Friday night. This was no old fashioned manicure/pedicure. We all sat on semi-reclining, leather massager seats with a foot sauna attached, where our tired, overworked feet were smothered in water-jet relief. And then before nail polish graced our finger and toenails, we were treated to an exfoliating arm, hand, leg and foot massage. That was after they “sanded” the bottoms of our feet and our ankles. Suffice it to say we were tickled pink, giggling almost uncontrollably at every turn of the rotating sander! But in the end it was all worth it, our hands and toes spic and span, looking oh so pretty. Haven’t felt that girly in so long!
After a dinner at a Thai restaurant and coffee at the Alcove (my new favorite place thanks to Joe and Riann), joined by Matt and Khahloh, we headed to Khahloh’s house to play with his new puppies, Little Diva and Ocho (yup, named after that dance craze in the Philippines that Cile hates. Ha ha ha…). They’re adorable, though the owner is a little disappointed because they’re growing by the day.
It was a nice evening, spent with three chick friends who don’t have the opportunity to hang out very much these days. Hopefully this rare day in a nail salon won’t be the last.
