...because tomorrow I'm partaking of my THIRD spa treatment THIS WEEK.

Well, I justify such (relative) extragance this way:

1.) It has been one of the most brutal Chicagoland winters in recent memory, in terms of amount/frequency of snow. And if its not snowing, then temps are usually hovering in the single-digits - teens if we are lucky. Last week I wrecked my back and arse twice shovelling heavy, slushy snow. THIS weekend I fell three times on the ice slick also known as our driveway. I am just plain old BEAT UP at this point!

2.) My spousal unit neglected to celebrate St. Valentine's Day by purchasing an extravagant Day At The Spa for his wife...so I'm buying it for him/me...just one-day-at-a-time.

3.) We got our tax refund. THANK HEAVEN for electronic filing and direct deposit!

My green coffee body wrap was so wonderful today. I had never been to this particular spa/salon, even though I have walked past it in my hometown many times. I am certainly glad I indulged today, because they have a lovely facility, reasonable prices, and one of the more extensive treatment menus that I've seen.

Tomorrow is most likely the oxygenating facial which is supposed to "brighten" the face, although that Aveda Elemental Nature Facial for Self Renewalsounds pretty damn awesome, too...
