It's Saturday again! Who doesn't love Saturday, right? 
My Saturday started with surprises found on my balcony:
-- the yellow rose smiling, and it has lovely fragrance too!
-- the red rose doesn't want to be left behind ....
At around 9 am, I left home for my monthly facial and I grabbed caramel machiato and a bite of tuna sandwiches along the way!
The session is scheduled at 10 am . Before it begun, the beautician have a chat with me - to identify my skin condition and what will be the suitable facial for me today. That's one of the things I like about this salon - they don't simply do facial - they will ask about my concern, e.g whether my face is too oily/too dry this month, or whether I've been having more pimples or if I planned to go to the beach they will avoid certain types of facial etc.
A basic facial session started with 2-3 minutes scalp massage, then only the facial begin. After the first mask was applied on the face, another 5-10 minutes scalp massage is given. Then continue with facial - cold steam, followed by face and eyes massage. The second mask is then applied and this is followed by a neck and shoulder massage - about 5-10 minutes - while waiting for the mask to dry. Then followed by the last step of facial. With a soft music on the background (today they played the sound of waves and seagull) and the smell of aromatherapy oil in the room, most of the time I'll fall asleep 
So, that's my little escapism from the 'real world' - once a month (if I am too busy it will be once every 2 months)!
After facial, it's another routine - browsing at Borders! Today I bought 3 books - 1. Just aromatherapy 2. Malaysia Road Atlas 3. The Rough Guide to Spain .
When I got home, the yellow rose seems fully open now
and a closer look ....
That's my Saturday so far! How's yours?
I'll have to continue with my packing shortly - anybody would like to help? 
Love - Larra
