So, tomorrow I leave for Jamaica! Hard to believe it's finally here!! I went and bought a few last minute things tonight - like a camera...and a bathing suit - nothing important for a vacation or anything...sheesh.
Anyway, I was at Old Navy and trying on some suits and then I realized oh man I gotta pee. When I get this urge, its not like everyone else where its like oh an inkling where your body says "hmm...la la la..I think I should use the bathroom soon". It's like BAM! It's time. So I scurry to get my things together and didn't pay much attention (shocker...) to what I was doing. I get out of the change rooms and go pay for my things and say to ashley we need to go. She instantly knows what that means so we leave and I get home and look down and realize in my moments of rushing/panic I put my tank on inside out, AND backwards.
I can't make this stuff up.
I love my new camera...I can't wait to show off all my pics!! It doesn't feel quite real yet..all my bags are packed, I'm ready to go....love that song...anyway. I'm sure reality will smack me in the face pretty soon - In the form of HEAT and BRIGHT SUN...ahh smack away...
Anyway, I'll have a whole ton to talk/blog about when I come home - but until then - please remember to pray for us all and most importantly for safety while we are there!

The Body Polish...
This story might contain some cringe-worthy visuals...just sayin'...
You've been warned.
At Christmas I was given a gift card to the Pure Spa and I'm finally using it and I decide to get a facial last week (which was spectacular) and a 'Body Polish' this week. All I knew about this was that I would be covered in towels for privacy and my arms, legs and shoulders and scalp would be massaged - BRING IT ON! I love a good massage!! And then you would get a Vichy Shower, I had no clue what that was till I got there...
WELL. I get there and the lady takes me to the change room and provides me with a robe and says ' you can wear your undergarments but they will get drenched because of the shower, but don't worry if you don't want to get them wet, you don't need to wear anything (which is typical I guess) because you have towels covering you'. So I think, well I only have one pair of undies with me so nothing it is.
I get into the room in my robe and my first thought is "how do I get up on that thing" and then she starts describes what she will do and she says " here are the towels you will use for coverage and she unrolls them and they are two HAND TOWELS!!! one for top one for bottom! I start snickering and think to myself DO YOU SEE ME LADY?! Those ain't gonna hide much ...

She steps out and then I'm faced with the task of trying to get onto this table without a step stool (which I searched around for...) The pic below is the table AND the shower (shower heads above). It doesn't look like it's that high - but the sides were up to my waist...
So, I finally roll myself onto this thing and get my darn towels situated (which covered more then I thought yay!) and lay there and wait. She comes back in with the body scrub stuff and it smells so good (blueberry). she starts on the feet and then the legs and then unexpectedly she starts on my exposed belly and immediately I suck in (as if she wouldn't notice) OK here's a few things you should know a) my belly is NEVER exposed...on purpose b) I'm really tickle-ish so this was DREADFULLY uncomfortable for me. Belly touching is forbidden - or as Ashley would say 'Don't rub the genie!!!'
She moves on to arms and shoulders and its soooo nice!!!! then she says Ok, I'm going to help you to sit up so I can get your back. and I'm thinking WHAAAAAAAT?! and she's like 'just hold onto your towels and I'll help you up.' Let me pause right there and I'll tell you the issues with this... a) I have no core muscles AT ALL b) imagine me trying to get up with my legs straight out and no hands because they are trying to keep the oversized facecloths in place...and worst of all c) I'm all of a sudden very aware that she can see my bum crack. for the entire time she's putting this stuff on my back I'm thinking of c)
Then the last step is here and she turns on the shower heads and washes away all of the scrub, thankfully she doesn't sit me up again...she just says I'm going to leave the room and you will have 10-15 minutes in here with this raining down on you and I'll knock when the time is up. It was SOOO Nice...like a whole other massage...
Just when I think it's all done, I realize I have to somehow get off this table onto a wet floor...I'm going to break my neck...so I slooooowwwly slide my way off this thing, and I survived.
It was actually amazing - I've never been so wonderfully exfoliated in my life...my skin is super smooth and I kinda can't wait to go again, only next time...undergarments!
