Happy Friday! I’m driving out to the Hamptons today for my friend Andrea’s bachelorette party and I’m so excited to celebrate her. I hope you all have some fun stuff planned as well!
A reader named Emily commented on last week’s rose and thorn suggesting that I share my thorn first and my rose second so as to start the weekend on a happier note and I think she’s spot on so that’s the plan from here on out!
This week’s thorn was a combination of lousy weather and car inspections for the two cars we leased when we lived in Dallas (which we’re getting rid of now that we bought a car!). I hate anything that requires a four-hour appointment window, but I hate it even more when the guy just never shows up, period. I work from home so it’s usually not a big deal to have to stay put for a few hours, but I was pretty annoyed when no one showed up and the inspection company had to reschedule for a day I won’t be here, meaning Will will now have to work from home. Not to mention the fact that we’ve had three cars in our driveway for the past few weeks… Basically I just can’t stand when something that should be a relatively thing to cross off your to do list takes on a web of other to do items.
Anyway…! This week’s rose was getting my first hydrafacial (I go here if you’re local!). I realized I hadn’t gotten a facial since before our wedding seven months ago and my skin was looking and feeling pretty congested as a result. I walked out looking a little red but mostly feeling like my skin had a new lease on life. In addition to exfoliating and extracting, they did a blue light LED treatment (for adult acne, cute!) and a bunch of serums that gave me a nice little glow. It was such a good reminder to take better care of my skin and a really relaxing way to end the week. Definitely going to try to make regular facials part of my overall skincare routine!
That facial sounds amazing! Maybe I’ll see you around town…Sag Harbor resident here 🙂
I had the blue light done for the first time(s) before my wedding last fall – isn’t it the greatest?! Hate that I need it, but it works. I have a facial scheduled for Sunday afternoon – you inspired me, and my skin needs it! Have a great weekend.
That makes me so happy! I hope it works for me too! Enjoy 🙂
