Just when I was getting a bit envious of a friend posting her winter break pictures at a beautiful spa designation resort with friends, my daughter created a spontaneous spa day. My mom soul was pampered and it was one of those moments where you feel the ultimate love and spirt of your child. Because nothing in the world replaces a free spa day in the basement, that is totally kid created.
The background music was Teen Beach Movie soundtrack and my feet were placed in a COLD Orbeez luxury spa. (Orbeez are little science experiment-like balls that expand when in water. Here’s a link if the product is foreign to you.) The basement was decorated and there was a sign saying the spa was opened.
I love that this is how they play inside, creating little businesses and making things beautiful with pipe cleaner flower arrangements when there was none avilaible for picking outside.
There were homemade t-shirts for the spa “managers” which was my oldest daughter and her friend. I received a pedicure with pink polish by my daughter wearing a vintage Christmas apron and a hot pink fedora she bought with her own money. They provided a stress relieving session with a box of moon dough leftover from my 4 year- old’s birthday party.
It was all followed by a dance party with the girls wearing my old old prom dresses, to One Direction playing the Best Song Ever. And instead I thought, yep this is the best life ever.
A beautiful spa in San Jose would have be nice. But this life is good. It is lovely in every way.
