You Do You.

This post was originally to be about the day Clara and I took a luxurious day away from our kooky, berserk lives, sipped on champagne with our pinkies out, and called each other dawling. That dream lasted a whole 1.5 hours. Who were we kidding? We were grateful for the brief time to fantasize, but we quickly recognized that the spa would have to come to us. Our lives were way too chaotic to take time off. We were gonna sip on champagne, call each other dawling in fluffy white robes at home, damnit! And we were gonna LOVE IT!!

Unfortunately, we forgot to buy champagne. Thank God Clara had a bottle of Rosé.

Our amazing, wonderful, and patient photographer Jaime Virguez of @_peonyphotography, quietly and bravely sat there watching us collaborate on how we would create the most authentic homemade spa experience ever devised! Whatever judgements and anguish he was enduring, his poker face did not reflect it! A true professional.

The strawberries and chocolate were my idea, and that is about as far as my narrowly creative eye can see.

We put on our sunglasses (because people always wear heart shaped sunglasses when at the spa), painted our lips red, and began the beautifying process. Needless to say, we painted on the face masks, dripped face mask gunk everywhere, laughed, and posed. We called each other dawling and sipped with our pinkies up. Everything on our checklist was done.

Although the black face masks looked absolutely horrifying and the young children in the house let out blood curdling screams when they saw us, our skin felt amazing, and the experience was immense.

No, this is not a test. We actually thought it would be smart to take pictures of ourselves like this. Think of the horror on the faces of the youngsters as they saw their mothers doing this...

A huge shoutout goes to #shoppersdrugmart for their #lifebrand purifying bubbling face sheet mask. It offered our skin supple moisture and softness, all while offering our children traumatic memories. All in all, it was a win win!

We could make this post about how having a spa day in an actual spa is overrated as long as you have your bestie and a bubbling face mask, but we'd be lying to you like a con to his parole officer. Book that spa day and do you. queen. If you can't, book a bestie and a bottle of champagne, grab a face mask and take some pictures. Hilarity will surely ensue.
