Photo Shoot, Mani/Pedi's & Lunch!

Today was one of the most FUNEST days I’ve had in a long time!!! I got to spend the day with my AMAZING friend Araxi! We got together bright and early and had a little photo shoot in Old Town Pasadena. We found some of the BEST places! Thanks Araxi for scopin’ out that alley!!! It was da bomb!!! Before we started shooting, we stopped off at Starbucks to get a little bit of that liquid morning wake up!

After we finished shooting Araxi treated me to a little Spa Mani & Pedi! I was soooo lookin’ forward to this!!! So, there we both are sittin’ in our massage chairs, feet in the little whirlpool baths getting all relaxed. The 1st lady starts on my pedicure. Then another girl comes over to give me a manicure. She asked me if I wanted her to cut my nails. I told her “No” I like the length, they were all the same and I had just evened ‘em all out the other day when I took my polish off. Well she starts to cut my nails with the clippers. I looked at her and she says….oh, I’m just cutting the sides a bit not the length. Then I look at her again, then at my nails! What are you doing….You’ve just totally messed them up. Why are you cutting them like that?!?! Oh, they just looked a bit wide. What?!?! I said I didn’t want them cut! Now they are totally uneven…. Please get someone else over here to do my nails. Another lady comes over, I’m so sorry…I will defiantly have a talk with her. I don’t know why she wasn’t listening to you!! She totally F’ed up my nails….ARGH!!!! So another guy comes over to finish up…he wasn’t much better! It’s been about 10 hours since I got them done and the topcoat is already peeling off!!! I will never go back there again!!!

Then to top off the afternoon we went to lunch at the Yard House!!! They have the BEST iced tea! I can drink that stuff till my eyeballs start floating!!! I got my FAVORITE salad…The Seared Ahi Tuna salad! It is the BEST salad EVER!!! Overall it was a WONDERFUL day!!! Any day you get to spend with your friend is a good day!



Araxi, even though my nails got all F’d up I had a really GREAT time!
