Yesterday was a school day, but I wasn’t at school! Instead, I took a mental health day to be with my bff Mary Beth in Waxahachie. She’s 29 weeks pregnant, and I’ve got an abundance of deployment stress, so we decided to spend the day relaxing and indulging. Just what the doctor ordered! I present to you, the highlights:
1. A quick trip to Starbucks! You know it’s going to be a good day when you find yourself cracking up at the drive-thru! Mary Beth wanted some kind of mozzarella sandwich, but she didn’t know what it’s called. I’ve never heard anyone order in such a silly way! “Do you know what I’m talking about?” Plus, I learned that a tall caramel frappuccino only has 300 calories. I thought it had more like 1,000. Apparently I know nothing about calories.
2. Mani/Pedis!
My toesies. They nail polish looks dark, but it's actually red.
This was the best part of the whole day. We both got the “Milk & Honey” pedicure. It includes hot stones, warm towels, paraffin wax, lots of rubbing and scrubbing, and beautiful toes. We spent a loooong time at the nail salon, but we both left feeling so zen. Money well spent!
3. Friday’s for lunch! I don’t normally go to Friday’s, so it felt like a special treat to go there. I got the Caribbean Passion Salad. Deelish!
4. Shopping! MB had a Dillard’s gift card, so that’s where we went next. I didn’t buy anything, but I did discover buty panties.
5. Ice cream! Need I say more?
6. Lots & Lots of girl talk! There’s something so therapeutic about talking with your best friend for hours. We talked about everything under the sun, and I laughed so much. I got out every single thing that was on my mind (deployment, work, moving, why did Kim Kardashian get married, does this nail color look good, do I need buty panties – everything!) and left feeling so energized.
It was a great day! I am so thankful that I have such a good friend and that I had the opportunity to indulge a little!*
It was great and perfect! Let’s do it again…. Like next week.
Glad you had a great mental health day with your friend. Those Buty Panties are too much.
sounds like a wonderful day, aren’t mental health days fantastic!!!!
I think I need Buty Panties. My trunk needs some junk!
I don’t need buty panties, but if they have a version for “bubies” sign me up.
Teachers need mental health days! Once a semester for sure.
lol.. those booty panties crack me up. And I thought frappaccinos were a lot more calories too. Hmm. Maybe cuz of all the ice.
this sounds like such an amazing day!!! i love getting my toes done, i love ice cream, shopping, friends and starbucks. seriously is sounds perfect! i hope it gave you some rejuvenation!!!!
Sounds like the perfect day! I am glad you were able to spend some quality time with your bff and pamper yourself!
