The Quest for Beauty

On April 1st Kirsten and Shanna opened up a deluxe beauty and health spa. When you enter this luxurious spa, you will have your choice of relaxing in a nice water bed (a cup of water dumped directly onto the bed), or enjoying gourmet cheese crackers (dumped on top of the wet bed). Are the crumbs too itchy or wet? Why not jump on the bed for some physical activity? When you feel relaxed and energized, try some of Kirsten's specialized beauty treatments. Do you want whiter and brighter skin? After donning a swimsuit (inside out and backwards preferred) try the minty fresh toothpaste exfoliation system. Rub it all over your legs, arms and face, and on your clothes/swimwear for good measure. (To avoid the inevitable scolding, this needs to be done while the management is otherwise occupied-- a.k.a. nursing the baby, and getting ready for piano lessons). The management will see that this treatment is followed by a quick scrub in the tub. Array yourself in fresh attire and stroll out to view our formal gardens. If you are fortunate, mud baths will be available following recent rainstorms. The prime time for mud baths are when the management is busy with other customers (a.k.a piano students), and the greatest discretion should be observed. A mud plaster on the feet and covering the backside of your pants does wonders for the complexion and instantly brings out the inner child in you. Try a quick hose down before coming in to array yourself in the evening wear of your choice. Warning: All of these health and beauty treatments are rather exhausting. A siesta before dinner is recommended.

Sounds like something my Spencer would do. I have been blessed to pick up used cooking oil being spilt and spread all over the kitchen and living room. I will make sure not to pass this Beauty Spa information on to him, he might actually go for it.
