Splurged

So, I been craving for a spa day. I want a relaxing day and be completely pampered. A nice massage will be good too. One time Tien invited me to spend a day at the spa with her and now I been wanting to go to a spa and enjoy a relaxing day off. I been trying to find one that is highly rated. I saw good reviews on Spa Atlantis located downtown New Orleans. I haven't gone there yet but I want to tag-a-long a friend with me. Tien and I haven't had time yet. She and I both went on vacation this past weekend and the week before that, we both was on our dot. So we settled with all day shopping. Nonetheless, as I was browsing around looking for spas, I landed on home spa ideas. And lo and behold, I found a fabulous site that did reviews on Lush products and was curious. I knew there was a Lush in Macy's. I usually am disgusted with how strong the smell is every time I pass it. But there's got to be a reason why it's so popular and overly priced right?! The girl who helped me was nice and did demonstrations and everything for me. I'd feel bad if I didn't buy anything. So I bought The Comforter Bubble Bath bar; which is a best seller and Pop in a bath because I liked how it smelled. I will try it tomorrow night! I also bought a face cream moisturizer called Imperialis and found out all their products were hand made by natural ingredients. So I went home... and I had to try it and made a home spa for myself. I just light up my Sweet Pea candle I bought from Bath and Body works at one of their sales from way back when... and added a little facial with Purity from philosophy face scrub/cleanser. And The Comforter bubble bath bar from Lush with my iPhone iPod player going to my favorite spa music. =D nice isn't it?! I finished it off with the face moisturizer. It was nice, but a massage from the bf would top it off. Sigh* he's working tonight. I slipped on my pj's which only consist of VS's lacie hiphugger and a wifebeater, haha! and settled in with my humongous Glamour magazine for make-up ideas. I Love being a girl!

Anyways, I just got back home from Destin, again! I really enjoyed myself. I got a nice tan. Went shopping, bowling, and played some pool. There was the beach of course and also a swimming pool. Did some poolside tanning, showed Vinh I know how to float... and next time he'll teach me how to swim. =D I was to chicken. The guys, OMG, the guys did all the cooking. Muddley made the best baked spaghetti ever and Cong made fresh beef Tatakis And of course their usual grilled ribs, chicken, and steaks, etc. Lovely! And the girls, what can I say?! Peer pressure go the best of me this weekend and I think my alcohol tolerance went up a little. We finished so many bottle of Hennessey Blacks last weekend that the liquor store ran out! We had to buy a smaller size bottle! But golly, that shit was strong. I was buzzing all night, I was still buzzing when I showered to get ready for bed! When I downed my first one, the girls giggled because I was coughing after it took it. I swear the burning fumes was coming up my nose!!! Later on that night, I took three shots within 30 minutes with the girls, I couldn't catch up to their 15-20 shots... and called it a night.

Monday morning I had to go to the hospital to get a TB skin test done, the result will be read on Thursday, so I'll be back there tomorrow. And Pay Day!!! Woohoo! I been spending alot. Today is Anna's Birthday, and I got her a Coach wristlet to match with her messenger bag that she got from our last Destin trip. I know, we've been spoiling her! When I was younger, I wasn't that lucky! But I can get the things I want for myself now! When I was younger, I didn't have the luxury to have expensive or name brand purses. But ever since I started working... I spend on the things I always wanted. It's not whatever people made it out to be. I wish there was more to it. I only have one expensive purse I really like, an all black leather Gucci one. I always admired people who had the beige/brown fabric one, but thought real hard about it and bought a nice black one. I thought it was a nice pick because I'm older now and I am a working girl. Why do I feel the need to get a wallet to match it?! I want an Louis Vuitton one too! >.< Why do I want Christian Louboutins shoes?! IDK....It's a girl thing. Maybe a few more paychecks until then. I need to go back to the dentist and finish up my procedures too. Either way, my closet and clothes drawers... Stuffed! It doesn't do it anymore. Even when I donated alot of stuff to Goodwill. >_< I know. and make-up and accessories and shoes and electronics and vacations. Sounds crazy huh?! But I'm doing well, I'm paying off alot of debt too. I got that working hard and playing hard concept down pact. =P As my bf says..... where to next?!

Happy July 4th!

Playa & NiNi's Wedding 7/3/10

I'm stuffed. Went to his aunt's house and ate half a steak, a baked potato, and asparagus. =) He was about to pack me tre to go but I had to turn it down, he said to bring home some for my dad, but I didn't wanna take home another one of their Tupperware. LOL. Been stocking up on their tupperware. Watched fireworks outside the backyard. (His aunt has the nicest garden) and the weather was perfect tonight, warm but breezy! And it didn't smell like smoke from all the fireworks around us. We both have work tomorrow so we called it a night and went home early. We had a blast this weekend. The wedding was something I needed. I danced my butt off!! with my honey, Vinh! =) I usually don't do that alot with him since he doesn't go clubbing. And we didn't booty grind at Hung and Thao's wedding last December. We just slowed dance to all his oldies music. So it was a big deal for me. Also, we took photobooth pictures!! A first for me ever with a boyfriend. I really liked it. We did it twice! I love him.

Summer Time

Dick and Jenny's is canceled for tonight cause my supervisor can't come. BUT, the kids from Lafayette are down. We're cooking Lau as we speak and going to watch Karate Kid later. Boyfriend is driving over right now and getting cupcakes for Katelyn's early B-day celebration. We're just waiting for him and Hong and Nhan and their kids to come over. Preparation is done. I tidied up a little bit, swept and swiffer mop a lil bit. This is what's going on right now. But my intention of this entry is about something more significant. My boyfriend's parents want to 'befriend' my parents. It was brought up in April around Thao-vi's birthday. I talked to Vinh about how nervous I was and what I thought that meant. He laughed at me and knew what i was thinking. Vinh talked with me in a way to not get so worked up about it. It's just his parents wants to get to know my family more and stuff. >_< I'm still nervous. He said that whenever my parents and his parents have time; we'd take them out to eat Dim Sum or something, maybe with the whole family or something. >_< I'm still scared. anyways, his mom brought it up again, I told her my dad been busy with the boat stuff. He's back shrimping and also BP paperwork and meetings. But she's still hopeful. She saw the vacation pictures. She liked the one above best! And she finally sees a picture of my parents. On the other hand, summer has been slow at the hospital. I've been getting canceled or released early. Which is normal to them yearly. No wonder I didn't get a job until August when things picked up. It's been almost a year for me working as a therapist. I still like it. And I'm getting closer and closer to paying off all my debt. =) and will have more money to save for future things. okay, honey is here... gtg. peace
