My daughter and I haven’t spent quality time together in awhile so I thought I would treat her out to a pedicure, since she absolutely loves getting her feet done. I wonder where she got that from hmm? My daughter is a good kid and I look at her everyday and she still looks like my lil Dootie sitting on the kitchen counter eating Ritz crackers. I see her I do, getting big but mentally I am not ready for her to be a teenager at all.

Most of the time she is around the house being a mini me, taking charge, holding down the fort, then she can be totally opposite and need me for the most minor things. She is definitely in that in between stage of adolescents but I’m enjoying my baby growing up(sometimes). I’m glad I’m trying to break the cycle with how my relationship is with my mom and my moms relationship with her mom. Both not good. I try to talk to my daughter, tell her everyday how pretty she is, listen to her,help her and give her advice, be open to her, give her space and more. I didnt have that much nurturing from my mom.

I planted a seed in my daughter early on to let her know that she can be whatever she wants to be in life and to not take any crap from no guy! I think my baby will be just fine, atleast I’m praying she will. God please look over my children, in Jesus name. xoxo

I went to the most relaxing, eco friendly, chic spa the other day. I walked into Natural Body Spa and all I saw was fabulousness! They have several locations but the one I visited was in the Brookhaven area of Atlanta.

I was greeted by a lovely lady named, Julia and she showed me around the facility. She mentioned that their spas are Leed Certified, very warm, nurturing and they also educate their customers. It was definitely a healthy environment.

They have two sides to the spa and I was in for a mani & pedi on the 10 Ten nail bar side. When I was escorted over, it was amazing. I loved the architectural design of it. I was then handed a menu to pick on of the five elements for my nail service, that was very different.

My nail tech name was Angela and she was fab,we hit it off and had great girl talk! We did the manicure first which was very relaxing. She placed a warm neck pillow on me and served me hot herbal tea. All the sterilized instruments used on me were later placed in a brown paper bag with my name on it, so that way they have it or you can bring it back with you. The manicure bar I was sitting at was made with recycled glass, old nail polish bottles and finger nail files in the stone, how cool is that! I don’t usually get nail color on my hands, so I just opted out for a clear top coat.

My pedicure was done in the alabaster tubs,where I soaked for 10 minutes then moved over to these hydraulic chairs to fully relax and I fell asleep. I have never in my life fell asleep getting a service but this place made you feel so at home and at peace. The music that was softly playing was Sade, so that really did it for me lol. When I woke up my tootsies felt so great and I loved my Pardon Me pink OPI polish application.

I have been so stressed out lately trying to get to this event and that event. Also trying to get my kids ready for back to school. I needed to unwind and relax. I looked in my inbox and had an invitation to go to the Four Seasons Spa. Oh my I thought, just what I needed! They have launched Pick a Color, Take a Color a signature manicure and pedicure at the Four Seasons Atlanta.

You should have seen me hauling butt to get down there because my feet and hands were in need of some pampering and fixing up lol. When I got there I was greeted by a friendly staff at the spa and they introduced me to my nail tech named, Bertha. She has been in the nail business for over 20 years. We hit it off wonderfully and I told her that I was a nail salon owner/nail tech a few years back for about the same amount of time lol.

The nail spa room was very relaxing and serene as nice jazz music was playing. I soaked my tootsies and relaxed. A lot of people think that the spa at the Four Seasons is just for hotel guests but no it’s open to the public, all you have to do is make an appointment and when you get there, Valet will validate your parking too, love that!

When Bertha finished my pedicure,I felt so much better and picked out a pink color (ofcourse) called, Strike a Pose! How appropriate for me and she gave me a smaller bottle to take with me, how cute!
