Thirty Before 30: No. 5… sort of.

No. 5… check(ish). You may remember my Mother’s Day loot? Well, I finally cashed in on that Rookie Mom Rubdown at Bliss Spa. Let me start by saying that I am not complaining about a massage! But, ‘Bliss’ it was not. 


Here’s the recap:

It all started out with me forgetting my gift certificate and having to dash back home to get it after lunch…

I arrived *frazzled* to the spa 20 min late and had my massage time cut down.

I had to endure a conversation about my stretch marks and love handles with the massage therapist. Yes, she pointed them out. It was the rookie mom rubdown, after all. I was in good humor, because let’s be honest, there is no denying their existence on this post-baby body.

Oh, did I mention I had spicy asian food for lunch?? Oh, yes. I broke wind. Several times. Awkward.

After I finally started to relax… I fell asleep. Missed the massage.

To cap off the massage, I rinsed off in the ‘steam shower’ only to be mauled by eucalyptus. As I was sure I was having my last moments of life in that steam shower I burst out in a claustrophobic panic… butt-naked… into the public changing room.

Got dressed… checked out (with $70+ worth of products for my love handles and stretch marks)… and giggled my way home.

Bliss?? Hmmm…

At least it made for a fun story and a few laughs… I may have to try this one again.
