Part 2: Canceling An Appointment With Your Waxer Might Be Deadly.

OK Let me start by saying that if you don't know what I am talking about you must read Part 1 the original story for clarification.

This post is the continuation of my epic battle with the worlds most (cough) annoying client.

6 MONTHS AFTER PART 1

I thought I would never see her again but there she is here is the waiting room. I look at my chart of clients for the day and I recognize the name but don't know why. Suddenly our eyes meet.

Her eyes search mine and she wonders how she knows me. After a moment her pupils flicker with recognition. Its an instant staring match and I wonder how she found me. Then I realize that the fake spa name I have is the culprit. She has no idea my spa name is Savana. She's come to the spa hoping to get a facial.

She only knows me as Rachel.

I release her eyes from mine and go into the back. I plead with my boss to have someone else take her. Nobody is available. I don't want to give this woman a facial because I know she won't tip me and also probably won't want to pay $125 for it.

So the client reluctantly comes back into my room and starts to complain about why she can't have the facial. She tells me she did not know how much it was and they booked it wrong. I realize she is trying to negotiate with me. We charge half price for cancellations when clients cancel within 24 hours or the appointment.

I tell her she is welcome to leave and I will allow them to cancel the appointment. Her jaw drops. She really thought she had me.

Well that was easy.

Nail Salon Comedy

A tribute to all my girls who hate going to the nail salon. I find this YouTube video funny because she does that San Francisco Thai accent I have come to know so well. I find myself reminiscing about the good old times..

Future Skin Concepts

You just gotta love products like this.

Just when I think everything has been done, already invented I deeply gaze into the eyes of the latest “it” product. At first I’ll admit I could not understand the uniquity (is that a word?...I like it) of this product. The name just doesn’t depict what it does. However its explanation was enough to keeping searching for more.

Now many of you must know I am the goddess of multi-tasking. My love affair with the beauty/spa industry has always been one of push-pull. I love it all but just don’t want to spend the time doing it. So how could I resist the Hawaiian company Malie telling me I could apply my moisturizer while in the shower?

I really must pinch myself.

So What's The 411?

Apparently they have created a body moisture bar called Mango Buttercup to use on hot skin only in the shower. You use this when your skin is warm or run it under hot water to melt is just a bit.

Get your skin hot and then shut the water off because like a stick of butter it melts. You can massage it into your skin while in the shower then just step out and air-dry.

Its great for this summers travel because it won't spill, and isn't liquid.. so its airline safe. The Hawaiians also say it’s the ultimate remedy for sunburns as well.

I think they would know a thing or two about that...

Prego, Post-Prego, Or Just Look Prego? This Blogs For You

“For the nine month stretch and beyond”. Gotta love that tag line. Mama Mio is truly a product line that caters to “SuperMamas” everywhere. Who says you can’t look hot before, after, and (what the hell) even during childbirth.

These three hot tamales who co-created this product line are Mamas from London. Having given birth quite a few times, I am perfectly happy to consider them the authority on stretch marks.

They have 3 really cool (quite miraculous actually) products that focus on lifting, shaping and hydrating all your wobbly bits.

Keep your buoys buoyant.

Why Lucy B Deserves An Emmy For Everything Frangiapani

This stuff is making me me wishful of an Aussie holiday and fast.

After launching the site (seriously not fun) I am in need of many things. To put me back together again I need a diet, some laser and a nice holiday for my efforts. Every time I smell the Frangipani Eau De Parfum and the Frangipani Bronzing Shimmer Oil I get that mini vacation I desperately seek. More relaxing than smoking a joint (not that I am a fan), or getting a massage this stuff will unwind the muscles in your neck. I think we may be on the cusp of world peace here.

I am nominating this as the must have summer fragrance. I must warn you though because I believe it will go out of stock I have become very protective of my bottle. In fact if I die I will not leave this fragrance to anyone. I can and will take it with me.

Effective immediately I am putting in my will that I should like to be sprayed with the stuff pre-funeral.

Somebody’s going to have to pry my perfume bottle from my cold, dead, Frangipani scented corpse.
