Tik tak. Tik tak. It's a commonly stated irony that when you're waiting for something, the more it seems to elude you. Times like this when I just want the clock to finally hit the 5:00 mark so I could just pick my things and head home. After countless times of glancing at the timekeeping device in our office, I sighed! Alas! The digital clock hanged on the wall in front of me read 5:00. What a relief! :))
I was getting my things, when my I asked my bestfriend, who happens to be my officemate, if we're headed somewhere. She said she wanted to have her nails done. Me, being the frugal type of person that I am, instantly dismissed the idea. I thought to myself, "I could do that to myself, why pay for the services of others?". After much prodding from her, I finally agreed.
We agreed to go to a Studio 23 Salon located a street across the city hall, went inside, told the receptionist of the service we want and we're told to wait on the lounge. After what seems like 5 minutes of waiting, two uniform-clad employees was at our feet doing what we've told them to do. Hmmm, it was such a relief to have my feet pampered. :)) i felt all the 'stress' going away, being melted with every stroke the employee gives my tired foot. I was humming a tone inside my head. As much as I don't want to spend a single centavo on this vanity indulgence of mine, I can't deny to myself that I'm loving every second of it.
When she was about to be finished with the foot spa and proceed with another service we'd told her, she spoke of something about FOOT PARAFFIN. I have heard about that, seen it in magazines but I don't have an iota of idea about it. She told me that i badly needed it since the veins on my feet are very visible. i think I got these from prolonged standing during my duty days when I'm still practicing being a nurse. I thought about it and found myself saying "yes" to her suggestion. Immediately, she prepared the materials and explained the procedures to me. It was simple.
I present to you the pictures of my first FOOT PARAFFIN WAX TREATMENT. The photos were taken by my ever kind and gracious bestfriend, Greyz, using my Samsung android phone.
Here, both of my feet is already covered in a tolerable hot wax and I should immerse my feet in it. It's soothing I tell you. But it's still hot.
It doesn't look good right? :) well, well. We think alike.
After it's somewhat dried up, plastic sheet will be put on it and afterwards, a foot mitten to be put as a final cover.
It will be left for 15-30 minutes. It will soon dry up and after peeling the dried wax, my feet felt soft and relaxed. :)
My evaluation? Happy feet! Indeed! :)
