I had a great spa day with my mom today! She is the best and invited me to enjoy an indulgent day at a med spa with her. It’s been a while since my last hydrafacial at a medical spa and after yesterday’s 18 miler, I was more than ready to spa it up 
.
This morning I took a little walk before breakfast. Quiet Sunday morning walks are my favorite.
After breakfast I headed to meet my mom at the house. Our first stop was the nail salon for manicures and pedicures. These are my ‘before’ feet, I didn’t get a picture of the ‘after’ but wanted to share this in case you’re here for the foot fetish aspect of this blog. Hey, I’m here to help. 
Then, we went tried out a new-to-us spa and got massages. Oh my gosh I needed this. But I was a little embarrassed that my all my bug bites from Florida left red spots all over my back 
After we were all noodle-y from our massages we went to have lunch/dinner/food. It was about 4pm so I don’t know what to call it. 
Moscato ‘cause we like it sweet
I got the Cobb Salad, hold the bacon and bleu cheese add cucs and bell peppers. I like to call it Cobb Salad hold the Cobb.
Then, we went shopping and my mom bought me two shirts. She was being so nice I’m afraid she thinks I’m going to die soon or something. I hope she doesn’t have a crystal ball I don’t know about.
The Peak of my week was this big ol’ cup of frozen yogurt with six dollars worth of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. 
My early lunch/dinner left me hungry around 7pm and I raided my mom’s fridge for beans, rice and enchilada casserole later in the evening. No pics, but I’m sure you’ve seen those foods on RER before 
Question: What did you do this weekend? What is your favorite ice crean topping?
When I used to go to ‘non-self serve’ fro-yo places I would ALWAYS get granola as my topping. I LOVE granola more than anything (except the fro-yo itself).
That’s a big help – thanks!
I love it when froyo places have random cereals for toppings – I’ve seen mini wheats, cinnamon toast crunch and corn pops. Although, my absolute favourite topping would have to be chopped reese’s peanut butter cups. Can’t go wrong. 🙂
Reese’s Pieces or berries (depends on if I’m being “healthy” or not) 🙂
I went to a natural running clinic Saturday morning. My feet were filthy, but I learned a lot. I could have used pedicure after that. Maybe this week? My favorite topping is probably crushed oreos or raspberries. Fruit in general is usually included in my mix.
LOL about why you think your mom is being so nice to you. Monica, that is hilarious but you are so mean to yourself! That happened to me this weekend too actually- my family asked what I wanted for dinner and since I’m a superpicky mostly vegan and they are absolutely not, I’m like, whatttt are they not telling me?!
I need a spa day! I had a super low key weekend…basically just watched football all day 🙂 Can’t complain!
My favorite ice cream topping (or froyo) is mochi! Love that stuff!!
I call it linner.
Gummy bears and sprinkles!
18 Miles. You are such a badass. Nicely done.
No matter what flavor of Yogurt I chose I always get Strawberries, yogurt chips, almonds, and raspberries. The little man always gets 3-4 types of chocolate and some strawberries.
Ha! You’re like my husband at the self-serve places! Mine’s always around $3, and his is around $6. Things were put into perspective this weekend though, when the lady in front of us had frozen yogurt that cost more that hubs and mine put together…over $9! My fav topings are raspberries and mochis! Yum yum!
This weekend I had a date with the boyfriend and I played floor hockey.
Sounds like your weekend was lots of fun too, with the spa and shopping.
I love me some Moscato! And I have them hold the blue cheese on my cobb too, but I gotta have the bacon.
I would have loved a massage this weeken! So jealous.
Woman, you do not know bug bites until you come to Peru. Wait, i spoiling tell you that in bring to convince you to come here. I blame my Asian genes to the sensitive-ness of bug bites. Btw, ill be home October 6. Less than a month!
LOL how did you know I come to this blog to explore my foot fetish?! You’re so considerate. Looks like you had a great day! Wish my weekend had included a spa trip.
I “ran” the Dirty Dash this weekend! It was my first 5k and I’m slightly disapointed with how slow I was. And I’m covered with bruises lol.
This weekend: ran my final long run before my first marathon (21 miles)!!!
Ice cream: Nutella. Or, if I’m feeling especially gluttonous and heart attacky, the crunchy Biscoff cookie butter.
I’m boring with my toppings, I like either brownie bites or crushed oreos.
My favorite topping for plain, soft-serve frozen yogurt is heath bar. Holy crap I love toffee.
This weekend my daughter ran her first 1-miler race! She is 6! She ran a 1/2 mile one last year. This kid runs just for the medals and post-race donuts:-)
I was such a proud momma!
I always have chocolate and vanilla swirl with m-n-m’s on top!
sounds like a great day! If you Mom wants to spend money on anyone else, let me know, I think I could sacrifice myself 😉
I celebrated my 17th Wedding Anniversary….
We went to the MN Gopher Football game…nice day but kind of boring…No college sports fan here…then to a Mexican restaurant where I chowed the “salad” which really was glorified nachos with lettuce (YUM)! Next, we walked the Mall Of America to “reflect on our years” and realized marriage is WORK and its HARD WORK but worth it for sure!
Small things make a BIG Difference!!
Finally, on our way home we stopped at a local bar got in on happy hour 2 for 1’s and shared a huge piece of chocolate cake that I totally regretted b/c I was stuffed for HOURS….like really stuffed….my stomach hurt so much we walked the neighborhood to move it around even…ha!
(So there you have it…ha!)
I had a spa weekend myself 😉 I loveeeeeee getting my nails done- makes me happy.
How sweet of your mom to treat you with such a nice day! Sounds like it was a lot of fun! 🙂
Now about the glowing “light” by the massage table in your pic …. Is anyone else seeing the resemblance of that light appearing to be a massive, over-sized, glowing pe*is?! lol Oh my word!!
My husband makes the best chocolate sauce from scratch, so that’s my favorite ice cream topping! I also like peanuts, but only if there’s chocolate sauce too.
Ran the Adidas King of the Road (www.adidaskingoftheroad.com) on Sunday morning and then had dinner with my sis and BIL at Hard Rock Cafe. Uploaded some pics on my blog just a while ago.
Favorite fro-yo topping has to be mochi and fruity pebbles. I actually get very cranky when a place doesn’t have these options!
Sounds like amazing spa day..well deserved!
