Spa Party

Last night Steph held a Mary Kay spa party at our house. A spa party is where we treat the guests to a facial and a foot spa. We ended up with a few more people than we bargained for...a few people cancelled mid week, so we invited more, and then the original people decided they could come afterall! It was pretty hectic and Steph was exhausted afterward (she gave 16 foot massages!) but she gained a lot of experience.


We split the group in two since we had so many. Half did the facial while the other half had their feet soaked and massaged and then we swapped. Here is a group of Steph's classmates looking gorgeous in their clay masks! If you are wondering what the writing is on the back of my kitchen door, it's our family growth chart! That mark at the top is now Scott.

Here is Steph hard at work. She made roughly $150 from this party and I'm thinking she earned every cent! Her thumbs were cramping up by the end of the evening!

The ladies had a wonderful time. There was a great deal of laughter and fun. I'm thinking I would like to go to one of these parties because they look like a lot of fun! Being the hostess as well as the consultant is really hard work!

Tonight we have a family over for dinner. We are cooking a camp oven and spending a relaxing evening around the camp fire, toasting marshmallows and chatting. One of the upsides of living on a farm, we can light a camp fire whenever we like! Looking forward to it!

I think she earned every penny of that $150.00!! 16 Foot Massages!!

Make sure you keep a shovel nearby during the cook out (firefighter advise lol)

We always keep a shovel nearby. The camp oven turned out really well, a lovely relaxing night. There's nothing quite like sitting around a camp fire on a cool winter's night.

Missed this post when I stopped by before ~ guess I was really caught up in the poem you wrote and posted...

Looks like a lovely, but hectic evening. Stephanie's going to have a well-established business in no time! Perhaps she'll learn to do the business side, so her mum can enjoy too...

Absolutely jealous (but happy for you) and wish I could have been there for the dinner and relaxing outside on the farm with you all... We are considering putting a fire pit in our backyard, but it would likely be nothing like what you have! Delighted for you, my friend. :)

Go ahead and put that fire pit in your backyard Joanie! There is nothing quite like sitting around a fire, sharing a cuppa and toasting (well, burning in my case!) marshmallows!
