Well today I said screw it and went to the spa at the hotel. It was interesting because I asked for a manicure and pedicure they said "Certainly maam" then ask if I wanted "Nail polish?" Ah.... (?) I said "yes" and they replied not enough people were requesting it, so they don't have any.

Ok... so I took a trip to the mall. Bought two tiny bottles of nail polish for over 2 dollars each and came back - only to have my toe nails and fingernails both get entirely messed up because they don't know how to paint. (I know I probably should have anticipated that.) But anyway I couldn't deal with the toes - so I asked them to remove it and just re-painted them and my finger nails a 3rd coat in my room.) ANYWAY... the point of this post was... The woman at the spa told me the stamping is done with HAIR DYE!!! That's harsh chemicals on your skin and also the reason it burns and stays on so long. I'm sooo glad she told me that. So Gamer and I went to the mall and had this henna done instead. Much better- no long bus ride, fighting through crowds at the market - plus we stopped for a slushee afterwards.

Manicure and pedicure = a complete waste of money. I did however get a 45 minute massage that was heaven.

Love, Janelle
