Weekend Vlog
This is a fun one! I vlogged a very exciting weekend. Come along for a concert, a night out, a little lunch date, a game of traitors with friends, and the Super Bowl!

What a perfect weekend! I flew back from a work trip on Thursday and arrived just in time to get my booty to Brooklyn to meet Chichi, Jasmine and Missy for dinner at Colonia Verde. The next day we made dinner together and then headed to a couple bars/dance spots in Crown Heights and Bed-Stuy. My favorite was a spot that played oldies in with a nice back patio and laid-back vibes. We definitely got our dancing in - see blurry photo above. Saturday we all woke up a little worse for wear, except Chichi who apparently doesn’t get hangovers!? I wishhhh. And today, Sunday, was my first full day working at the spa! I did five facials today, three of which were on men. Before today I had only given one man a facial - my roommate Jangis who I don’t think had ever had one before. I had a really fun time and my first client of the day rebooked me for next month! It was a nice start to the day. I go back tomorrow for another three facials that I have scheduled. It feels really good to put these skills to use and make them my own. It is also very fun to have access to all these amazing products and get to tailor-make facials depending on the skins’ needs. I am feeling fulfilled :)

Que fim de semana perfeito! Voltei de uma viagem de trabalho na quinta-feira e cheguei bem a tempo de levar minha bunda ao Brooklyn para encontrar Chichi, Jasmine e Missy para jantar no Colonia Verde. No dia seguinte, fizemos o jantar juntos e depois fomos a alguns bares / locais para dançar em Crown Heights e Bed-Stuy. Meu favorito era um local que tocava músicas antigas com um belo pátio nos fundos e vibrações descontraídas. Nós definitivamente começamos nossa dança - veja a foto embaçada acima. No sábado todos nós acordamos um pouco pior para o desgaste, exceto Chichi que aparentemente não tem ressaca !? Eu desejohhh. E hoje, domingo, foi meu primeiro dia inteiro de trabalho no spa! Fiz cinco tratamentos faciais hoje, três dos quais em homens. Antes de hoje eu só tinha dado ao homem um tratamento facial - meu colega de quarto Jangis, que eu acho que nunca teve um antes. Eu me diverti muito e meu primeiro cliente do dia me remarcou para o próximo mês! Foi um bom começo de dia. Volto amanhã para mais três tratamentos faciais que agendei. É muito bom colocar essas habilidades em uso e torná-las minhas. Também é muito divertido ter acesso a todos esses produtos incríveis e poder fazer tratamentos faciais sob medida, dependendo das necessidades das peles. Estou me sentindo realizada :)

I'm sitting at my desk sniffling with a cold that I contracted from having too much fun. I got an invite to go to Mardi Gras from some friends a month or so back and it seemed like a trip I didn't want to miss. I had never been to Louisiana and I haven't taken a lot of trips to new places in the past couple years ... moving to LA was my big trip, but I didn't have much in the way of a break from work. I was overdue for an adventure! I had so much fun! The four days were a jumble of drinks, parades, dancing, live music, dodging & catching beads, good people ... and more drinks. I'm definitely curious about the city when it's not a giant party too, so it's on my list to visit again.
hugs not drugs ;)
