I had the most amazing morning ever! I felt just as good today as I did last week when I got a free facial courtesy of my employer. Today I was able to partake in yet another fun event. I got to take a dance class as a part of a staff appreciation. Woo hoo!
On this momentous day, I had the utmost pleasure of shaking my booty in a two hour dance class given by instructor extraordinaire, Laura Furtado. Let me tell y’all, it was the best dance class I’ve ever taken. I took a reggae fitness dance class a few years ago, but Laura’s high energy, bubbly attitude and great music selection made the session so much better.
We started off with some hip hop dance moves which I completely ate up (I was soooo channelling my inner Missy Elliot), and then we worked our way into Bhangra/Bollywood style of dance. I had soooo much fun doing moves that I’ve seen in music videos and on the millions of dance shows.
I signed up for this class because I really don’t exercise at all and I would really like to start. It’s kinda funny because this class didn’t feel like exercise at all. I guess because I was jumping around having too much fun. Mind you, as I type this entry, I feel pain in my waist, booty and thighs! It’s a good pain though. LOL.
One of the coolest things that we did during the 2 hour dance class was that Laura divided the class into two groups and had us battle each other. I felt like the dancers you see battling it out on those cheesy dance movies. So, I of course, was getting cocky and excited knowing that I would soon show the class that I got the moves down pat. And, as luck would have it, I got a little toooo eager and half way through the routine I forgot the moves! Heheheh! I stumbled through the last part but I still had a good time.
I totally recommend taking Laura's sessions. I plan on taking more of her classes very soon. But before then, I plan on using some of the moves we learned in class up in da club! Holla!
I am a relatively low maintenance girl. Okay, I do take care of myself! I get my hair did regularly, and I think I put myself together nicely, but I just never got into really girly things like getting manicures, pedicures, massages and facials. I’m kinda shy and I don’t like people that I don’t know touching me. I know....I got issues!
Today, while on my J-O-B, I was invited to check out a new spa. Lucky, eh! So I called a friend from another department, and told her that I would book appointments for the both of us. I originally made an appointment for a manicure for me and a facial for her, but since I had to go back to work and I didn’t want to mess up my nails, at the last moment, I decided to go with the facial as well.
My friend went into the room first and I was led by my aesthetician 5 minutes later. I noticed that my friend was lying on the facial/massage bed, topless. Her breasts were covered, but I wondered if she was getting a massage instead.
So I jokingly asked my aesthetician, “Do I have to take my clothes off?” She said yes. She saw the look of terror on my face and asked if I was okay. I sheepishly said that I was okay and casually whipped off my top and necklace. I put on the robe and jumped on the facial/massage bed. Before she got started with the facial, she asked me to slide down my bra straps. Okay, does this not sound like the beginning of some soft-core porn? I am getting a facial, why must I be topless!!
I complied and moved down the straps. Then my facial started and I closed my eyes. She carefully took off my makeup and gently massaged my face. Damn, that felt good. Then I felt warm oils massaged into my face, neck and shoulders. Ohhh, damn again! I was slowly but surely becoming a “facial-girl”.
For about 45 minutes I lay motionless while she rubbed and worked my skin, massaged my temples and played with my ears. Ahhhh, I honestly never knew how good facials were. This is something that I plan on doing for a boyfriend.
When she finished and I put my top back on, I told her that I’d be back, and she said, I know! I love how she knows she’s tha ish!
p.s. ain’t the hot steamy towels completely soothing? Man, I am going back just for that! That feels GOOOOOOD!
