In the morning I went to PinkLime Spa for a mini facial (a birthday present from Tanya last year). The spa was luxurious but the location was a bit hard to find (down in Yaletown where the parking is hellish). I felt so relaxed laying on the massage table and listening to the birds chirp (on CD). I think I may have dozed off for a few seconds or more. All in all it was a pretty relaxing experience. Plus the girl that worked on my face was this cute little Chinese girl that didn't speak English well but was very polite.After Pink Lime I met up with Betty, her mom, brother, my mom and KA for lunch at the new Vietnamese restaurant in Coquitlam. It's called "Thai Son" and it's much better than Pho Hoa. Thai Son has locations in Richmond and Vancouver. The Coquitlam location is in the little Korean complex (same side of the street as Fitness World) on North Road. If you like Viet food then check it out!
After lunch we went back to Paris Spa - which is Betty's Spa. There Betty convinced me to let her "tint" my eyebrows and attach fake eyelashes. You have to keep in mind that Betty's never had formal training for any of this - so I was a bit weary that it would turn into a bad experience. But in the end it was a fun experience as it reminded me of when we were little and I'd let Betty experiment with make-up on my face (the results were not always flattering). The fake eyelashes turned out nice. She used EverLast eye lashes, which are semi perminent lashes that get glued to your eye and last about a month. I asked he not to give me the "glam queen" look - as she tends to like making things "bold & beautiful". We giggled, took some pictures and had a good time - it's like playing dress up except for now Betty has a whole Spa to play with. I haven't hung out with Betty in a long time and it's good to just catch up and have fun with each other. I think our lives are changing so fast that we're losing touch with each other.
