I bought a Groupon for a facial. Cause, dammit, it was my birthday: Happy birthday to me. And my face. The location was in my neighborhood, which was a bonus. I set the appointment on my Birthday and arrived 10 minutes early.
After about 5 minutes wandering around a very expansive, maze like and sterile office building hallway I seriously begin to fear that I had bought a Groupon for Dexter to kill me. Did this stop me from going into Suite 226? Nope.
The esthetician was ill-prepared for my arrival. In fact, I got there 5 minutes before she did. She came into the spa with a few bags and a pile of hastily folded linens.
"Just have a seat and I'll go get the room ready."
I sit. I wait. The overhead light, kept on by motion sensor, goes out. I stand up.
My "room" is ready not long after then. I am escorted into a large, empty room with a massage table, lots of face products and a facial steamer waiting in the far corner.
Holy shit. I am going to be sliced by this woman.
But do Serial Killers really go so far as to set up a legit business only to then run a Groupon and kill people? Do they??? I continue to undress my upper body. At her CD player she takes no less than 4 full minutes to figure out how to work it.
Dying ON your birthday, that's kinda poetic. Right?
But alas, she was no serial killer. I am only going off the fact that she didn't kill me. The facial was OK, she was awkward and her spa had all the charm and comfort of an empty tin can. With bad fluorescent lighting. You're gonna need to put something a little heavier than a cotton ball on your clients eyes before turning on those lights after AN HOUR IN THE PITCH DARK.
Please use your Groupon money and invest in some mood lighting. Or at least some candles.

...I meant to ask you how that facial went.
I've considered the Groupon facials, but worry that I'll come out minus my first layer of skin...creepy. Sounds like yours worked out only somewhat better than that...
YAY! (for not loosing any skin)
Happy Berfday Bootyfull! :)
