Cocoon Urban Day Spa

Posted on by

A few weeks ago, Annie and I booked a day at the spa. We got this crazy fantastic Group-on deal that was honestly a steal. Things had been stressful both at work and at home so spending the day in the city was exactly what this girl needed.We went to Cocoon Urban Day Spa, and I walked away feeling like a million dollars. I got a massage (first time!) and a mani-pedi. I felt so pampered. I picked  a bright summery color.

 

 

 

We followed it up by meeting Huyson for a tasty seafood lunch. We were starving by the time we got to the restaurant and ordered a staggering amount of food! We followed it up with dessert and it was a perfect way to spend a sunny Saturday.

 

The ice cream was unbelievable! I look forward to eating more sweet treats as the weather is warming up and turning into summer.

Going to the Spa was on my 101 in 1001 list and it was so much fun to try something I had never done before.

Love,

A Week in Santa Fe

Posted on by

To make a long story short, I moved unexpectedly about a month earlier than planned, thus the radio silence here on the blog.

Otherwise, things have been going great! Work has been going very well, and while I am proud of all that I have done this year, I have so many ideas on how to make next year better, both as an art teacher and as a testing proctor. I have things settled enough at my new place, and just got Comcast today. Woot! The return of my internet means I can join civilization again.

Over my spring break my father and I visited an old high school friend in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I had never been, and it was a glorious week of eating tasty things, art galleries and seeing beautiful new places!

Over the week, my dad and I took a green chile cooking class, hiked a gorgeous mountain, enjoyed a fantastic little bookstore called Moby Dickens, and snarfed some delicious carrot cake!

Happy Weekend! What are you doing for your mother’s day tomorrow?

Love,
