Saturday was a day of pampered beauty rituals for sis and me. Though I had made an appointment several months ago for us, my cosmetician had been forced to reschedule thanks to extensive allergies on her part but we couldn’t have picked a nicer alternate day had we tried. Unlike Mz Circe, sis is not as cosseted or indulgent with herself so I like to spoil her occasionally with items or treatments she would never think of buying/doing for herself. While she was enjoying her fantastic facial, I enlisted the idle nail tech to give me an unplanned manicure and then we switched places after our procedures concluded. It had been ages since I’d had any external nail pampering and what better way to while away free moments? (next time, pedicures) My color choice was Tango, a coral hue, and sis is now sporting a pretty mauve shade. After our enhancing treatments, we hit the mall and got a bite to eat followed by some carefree shopping. I broke down and replaced my mislaid Maraschino lipstick and sis found the perfect white jacket to go with her summery spaghetti-strapped dress. In Petco, I spied two adorable cat collars for BW but decided to hold off on purchasing for now. Our final stop was the thirst-satisfying coffee shop for some delicious ice-cold Granitas before wending our way home. Sunday was just as lovely and I topped the afternoon off by getting some much-needed mowing in before more rains contribute to further grassy growth. Hope your weekend was just as wonderful.

I wish my sis and I had a relationship like that...
It is really nice to be able to go and do things together. We don't do it alot but we do it every so often. And we've flown home together several times and had a blast! :)
They are busily working on building their new house so our jaunts together have been fewer and farther between lately...
Sounds like a fantastic day. My mom and I recently got pedis as well and I feel so good about my nice new toes. It really is a great treat and I am sure your sis loved every minute of it all.
Kranki, she had never had either a facial or a manicure before! I had no idea!!! Yep, I am going to treat us to pedis next. :)
Feel free to spoil me in such a manner whenever you wish.. ;)
