For as long as I can remember, my cousin Jihan and I has been doing this usual catch up by going to the spa or salon together. Either to get a massage, a mani-padi then head out to the nearest cafe or resto to eat. Funny, we both lived in the city but we hardly have time to really see each other there.
So when I retired from the BPO world and moved back to elbi, I always look forward to her coming home at least once a month. I feel like she's my connection to my old world. Plus, she's just super fun to talk to that's why I'm super glad she's my cousin.
Today, she filed for a VL (Vacation Leave) just for her to attend UP fair and at the same time get mani-pedi at our regular spa destination. I remember the last time I went with her to have our mani-pedi session. She wanted to try the "paraffin package" where they apply/dip your feet to a melted candle-like substance (wax) that's super hot and she went nuts! Her feet has thinner skin so her tolerance for the substance is quite low.
Paraffin wax, according to wisegeek, are treatments are luxurious spa treatments that are intended to moisturize and soften the skin. Paraffin wax treatments are most often applied to the hands and feet as components of manicures and pedicures respectively.
But this time, she can tolerate the wax more compared before, that's why I just to have it documented. :)
