R and R for Bubba Jean

Today was an overdue need of relaxing and re-cooperating for myself. Previously Ray had bought me a 1 hour massage, manicure and pedicure gift certificates for my birthday. I'm saving the manicure and pedicure to use before I go home for the Woman of Faith Conference in August. Thought today would be the best day for it.

Anyone heard of GROUPON? Well it is coupons for everything, all you do is type groupons in Google, click on a link, then type your in your area code, city, and email address. Then they will email you discounts on services, restaurants, and many other things. If you've never tried it now is the time.

My appointment was at 2PM at "All About U" salon. I arrive on time enter the salon at the front desk. The lady at the front desk gives me information to fill out and shes asking me if I'm Jessica for the massage, and I reply with Yes. She says "Well they didn't put that into the computer". So I'm guessing she is my massage therapist.

As I get done filling out the information we go outside to the spa. Guess you can't enter the spa from the main salon. We enter the spa and she directs me to her room, I enter and she immediately tells me where to hang up my clothes and how to lay on the bed. I'm thinking can we slow this down, can I get a glass of water, can I get a foot bath (prior to working at Douglas J nothing compares). No I didn't get any of these services.

So she steps out I take my clothes off hang them up on the door with my purse. I lay on the table like she said, she yells through the door "Are you ready". I reply with "Yes". She comes in and starts talking about small talk while rubbing my face, neck, ears, and chest. I felt very uncomfortable. I was hoping for the lights to be a little bit dimmer than they weren't. Lastly, her mouth stunk like a cigarette tray. She tried to put a mint in her mouth but that didn't work.

The massage continues...she goes to my arms and legs. Its getting better. I'm trying to keep my eyes closed and trying to picture my self on the cruise ship while listening to the ocean waves on her CD player. Then I heard her say, "Its time to flip over". Me going from laying on my back to laying on my stomach. Usually when this happens the therapist will step out when you flip sides but no her. I felt like she was trying to see my girls. As I was turning I was trying to keep the sheet as close as to my body as I could.

Back to the massage, she did my arms and legs again. Then when she was done with my legs she asked "Do you want your BUTTOX massaged". I gasped and said "what". She repeated. I was so shocked never had anybody ask me that. I replied with a NO. But while she was rubbing my back the whole time I was thinking maybe I should have tried the butt massage, who knows it may have been good. I guess in a Lesbian kind of way.

So shes massaging my back and its what I'd been waiting for. My back has been sore and stressed. Then she asks, "would you like hot stones". I say "Of course". Never had hot stones before but I truly do recommend it, it felt amazing. If you like things HOT then you will like it!

Shortly after the massage was completed, overall she did a good job but its so hard for me not to compare every salon to Douglas J in Okemos Michigan. Its the best salon in the U.S. or least the best I've scene yet.

A big thank you to my husband for the wonderful birthday gift. I hope you keep them coming for birthdays, Christmas and Anniversaries. I enjoy trying new salons in or near Columbia SC.

Love
Bubba Jean
