Unfortunately, it is too late for us to find concrete columns on which to place all of our upholstered furniture.

I've tried spa sessions here, and I just can't really relax. I'm not sure I understand your reference to air that's not available before 10 a.m. Should I hold my breath until then??

Our smart cat, Maya, smelled the beer and immediately covered up every container with dirt. Also we have two columns in our garden with nothing on them. Why? Because Maya sits on them in her queenly position. They are her pedestals and she knows she belongs there. Had to share that we have a slug problem and tried the beer thing.

There really isn't any air before double digits!! The pool is a bit cool, even though we've got the black pipes on the roof and the pump is now on mid day. It's a bit bracing but it wakes me up. I kind of like getting in with my coffee and surveying the garden. The 'works' at most spas is pretty expensive, I'm kind of reeling from the costs of some of these things. That facial I had cost $500 pesos!! I won't be doing that again. Mani/pedi is from $150 to $250 each depending on the place. I saw a sign over by the eastern periferico that said mani's for $25 pesos... I'd be a bit leery of the sterilization though and the fumes from the buses was kind of strong :) I figure since I'm only paying $70p to get my hair cut I can splurge a little on my feet. Gads!

Maybe I'll get a discount if I give them a good review... oh wait, that's not fair right? Well, I'm a bit nervous about putting the names of businesses, I'll have to ask about that.

They don't really do pedicures, they get rid of the callouses and trim your nails, a bit of massage but not much. Several of the spas I've checked out say they serve men and women. The ones in Campestre are pretty much one customer shops and so you'd be the only one there. It's not uncommon at all for men to go for both mani's and pedi's.

I know several men who go to Dr Scholls' regularly for pedicures. Husband has ingrown toenails and due to his injuries had a hard time with cutting his toenails. That is why we started having the manicurist come. So I get a mani-pedi and he gets a pedicure. She also does a "spa" treatment but it isn't anything like that saran wrap deal. I wouldn't mind a spa day with the works. I like having her come to the house because we have her come at 7am and are done by 11am, not possible if we have to go out to a spa. Of course, I know that you think that there is no air available until 10am. My desert roses are looking the best they ever have, like you they are really liking this weather. I like the heat and lower humidity too, but the water in the pool feels like ice to me. I'm such a wuss! regards, Theresa Ooooh, nice.

It may save some of us disappointments! I love for you to do a blog listing all the spa’s you have been to and what you thought of each. It may save some of us disappointments!

Nothing fancy, just keeping them groomed. I need to hold off the gnarly toenails of "old-man feet" if I'm going to wear sandals in the heat. Is there a stigma against men getting pedicures?
