Facials and Cooking

I finally, after such a long time, had a facial today! It was one of those days when friend and I decided that it was about time that we did something for our faces, since we abuse it everyday by either exposing it to the sun for hours on end or by cooping ourselves up in air-conditioned rooms 24/7. That and we want to keep ourselves looking youthful and completely un-ajumma like for as long as we can.. The years are kicking in you know..

But I digress.

Anyways, we popped into one of the beauty parlours in the city and announced that we wanted facials done, but we only had like an hour to an hour and a half at most. The lady assured us that we would be done by an hour and a half, so we went in and subjected ourselves to much, much, much pain and suffering,all for the sake of looking fresh and young, as well as creating larger holes in our already very tattered purses.. Oh well.. Whatever it takes to keep the evil tell-tale signs of age away! But it really did hurt.. my nose looked like Rudolph's at the end of the whole facial, but the plus side was that my skin felt so soft and smooth!! Just for that feeling, I would gladly go for facials everyday! But too much of a good thing can be bad for you (and your purse!)!!

The lady cheated us! The entire facial took us two and a half hours!! I was lying in the same position for two and a half hours!! Can you imagine?? I was amazed that I had not turned to rock and could actually move to get up when the facial girl said that I was done..

Goodness.. Two and a half hours..

Then when I got home, I decided to play the role of a filial daughter and cooked dinner. And the end result was not too bad for someone who has not been cooking in ages! I'm super proud of myself for being able to whip up a decent meal and for not making porridge instead of rice!

Muahaha!!
