notes from maggie's farm
It was a scorcher that Austin afternoon, and I simply could not bear the thought of running errands in Friday-we've-got-to-get-anywhere-but-HERE-traffic. But I had a few hours to kill. And a gift card in my pocketbook!
Called, secured an appointment, and was on my way to Mecca within an hour.
A few weeks before, I'd won a gift card worth an hour plus massage from Madbetty. I really needed it!
I love Madbetty.
Naturally, given the opportunity, (and being the total sucker that I am) I upgraded even further. And the glass of Prosecco I was offered turned into 2, and another 14 bucks. And while farmers don't always have the funds for such extravagance, my gift card meant that I had a little extra cash. For drinks and a tip, and AROMATHERAPY. So I succumbed to the charming receptionist's temptations.
He showed me the way to the dressing room, where I traded my civvies for a big fluffy robe and signature flipflops. And then I peeked into all the nooks in crannies in this very well-appointed dressing room.
You expected overalls, didn't you? Well even farmers have going-to-the-city duds for just such occasions.
After two glasses of Prosecco, 80 minutes of massage, cedarwood, grapefruit, and lavender oils wafting through the room, and Zamfir-the-flute-player-going-at-it-with-crickets-and-frogs-next-to-the-creek coming from well-placed speakers, I was absolute putty.
I returned to the den of secrets, also known as the ladies dressing room, took a brief shower, then played Kim Kardashian in the mirror. Yeah, no one else was there. You know you'd have done it, too!

Surely, I was in a dream state, looking back on it now.
Because, if just for this one afternoon, instead of spitting and snorting and snarling in Austin traffic...
I blew kisses.
Again,
THANK YOU, MADBETTY!
Sounds like the perfect day for a farmstress. Love the Kardashian shots.
ReplyDeleteIt was a lot of fun to forget myself for a few hours..Must be how Kim feels.
DeleteThanks for stopping by my ladybug!
How great! You deserve a little pampering! I have never done a spa, but after reading this I will have to look into it. I think manis and pedis are so relaxing, I bet this must be heaven (Prosecco to boot!) Love the pics! Kim has nothing on you! Hope you keep the relaxed feeling for quite awhile!
ReplyDeleteWinnie, I think you should go to the spa! Maybe you can win an afternoon, like I did. I love to get the mani/pedi thing, too, and I'm making it a priority to get one every two months, whether I need it or not! lol
DeleteThank you for stopping by!
Awesome! Glad you had fun! One day, when I grow up I'll go to a spa too. And definitely try the duck lips thing ... Hopefully I'll be as good at it as you .. so far I have had major trouble and issues with it...
ReplyDeleteLarissa!
DeleteHey girl! Great to have you stop by. I think you should go to the spa, too! Surely you can outdo my Kardashian act...surely anyone can! lol I think my husband could do it better......
