A Day with a Pampered Wife; Happy wife, Happy life

It's another new day for me. These past few weeks have been tough for our family, but I am glad that we all got through it. It’s time for us to heal and move on. It’s difficult to lose a loved one, but we must live our lives as well, because I don’t think our loved one would want us to dwell on the loss, but for us to carry on with our lives for the sake of the family. My husband decided to treat me to a foot massage and pedicure, and I am so happy and thankful for him.

We went to “The Nail Lounge” to get my well-deserved foot massage and pedicure. As I entered the nail salon, I was so impressed with the interior and ambiance. The clean and relaxing ambiance welcomed me right away. Unlike some nail salons, where upon entering, you can smell the nail polish. In “The Nail Lounge,” it was different; you can smell a very relaxing aroma inside.

There’s a more out-of-this-world variety of nail polish colors in the lounge. From the regular nail polish to "shellac" or gel nail polish. The difference between the two is; with regular nail polish, you can get rid of it anytime just by using a nail polish remover. With "shellac" or gel nail polish, it’s a semi-permanent nail polish that offers long-lasting, chip-resistant pedicures. I usually have the shellac or gel nail polish every time I do my pedicure.

Julie is one of the outstanding nail technicians at “The Nail Lounge”. She accommodated me instantly and led me to where I am going to sit, handed me brochures of the services that I want to get, and the color of the nail polish that I want to have. The other good thing about “The Nail Lounge” is that they also offer drinks for their customers, including water, sodas, and juices. They even offer wine, tequila, and a lot more. I chose the "milk and honey package" for my pedicure and foot massage.

Before applying my "Shellac" nail polish, she started to apply some fresh oranges, aloe vera, and lemon on my feet and toes. It was a part of the package I paid for. She told me that there are a lot of health benefits to this, and they are good for the skin and toenails. I felt really good when she was rubbing those on my feet.

After she applied my shellac nail polish, she gave me my “hot stone foot massage”. These are some of the benefits of a hot stone foot massage: It can help you improve circulation, relieve pain, and reduce stress. It was therapeutic for me and relaxing, I definitely had the time of my life, thanks to my loving and ever-supportive husband.

It is very comfortable sitting on my throne while being pampered and drinking my soda. All the seats in “The Nail Lounge” for pedicures are massage chairs. So, while they are doing your pedicure, you can already have your head and body massage through the massage chair, quite fancy, right?

After my well-deserved pampering pedicure appointment, my husband brought me to the "Boba Tea" shop just near the nail lounge. It’s been 3 years since I had my last boba. The name of the place is “Ph 88” and they sell Vietnamese noodles, from soup to stir fry noodles, and of course, my favorite Boba Tea. I ordered the original flavor, and next time I am going to try the “Taro Boba”, because I am sure that one is delicious and to die for.

Lastly, we had our dinner at Niko’s Steakhouse. My husband misses and would love to eat steak at this restaurant. I usually love my steak “medium well”. I love that slightly pink center, that’s hot. I had a great day, thank you to my husband for treating me the whole day. “Happy wife, happy life” is a phrase that’s been talked about for a long time. It may be true for some and may not apply to others. For me, a happy life is not only dependent on a happy wife. Both partners play an equal role. I always make sure that when it comes to my husband and me, we need to spend quality time together, despite our busy schedules from work. We also never forget to communicate, let each other know what we do and where we go. Treat each other with respect because a relationship and marriage will never work once respect is gone. So for me, “Happy Spouses or Happy Partners means a happy life”.
