One that inquires whether or not I'd be interested in a "mobile spa" treatment at her flat. Ah-hem, as in not being invited to go to the spa, but rather being invited to her house so that the spa could COME TO US. The idea seemed so SHOCKINGLY SURREAL that I had to say yes (after reading and re-reading the message) simply to confirm the existence of this so-called luxurious experience. I simply HAD TO live this for myself.....HAD TO.
The next day, I arrived at Emily's house with snacks (and a MASSIVE SMILE, obviously) and she had the kettle going for tea. We were ALL READY TO GO (NOWHERE) when the phone rang and, turns out, these people do INDEED exist. Within minutes, they were at the door - two little Filipino ladies and ALL OF THIS (which made me wonder if they were moving in with Emily too):

| Who knew that two mani/pedi-requiring people required so much? | | | | | | | | | |
|
|
|
 |
| SO MANY COLOURS TO CHOOSE FROM!!! There were two other big boxes to peruse as well. We decided to be TWINEES and get matching coral polish :) |
 |
| We hung out in the other room so the ladies could "set up". I think that in order to truly appreciate this process, you had to be there.... | | | | | | | | | | |

Let's just say there was a "scent selection process", candles, foot baths with roses, current issues of trashy magazines, and E! Entertainment Network playing in the background.
With a big cup of tea by our side (and snacks!), we had the best time acting like Princesses in Emily's living room. Although, I'm not sure we remained as "composed" as a true Princess would in a similar situation. It would be fair to say that some Princess Diaries stuff was going on. Some OH-MY- GOODNESS-WE-CANNOT-BELIEVE-THIS-IS-HAPPENING sort of stuff. Some "SHUTUP!!!!!" sort of stuff. Some LET'S-LOOK-AT-EACH-OTHER-AND-GIGGLE-SOME-MORE sort of stuff. Loomi even filled in as our very own "Fat Louie"!!!
Oh Gem. You found a likewise GEM to keep in mind for future mani/pedi appointments. I welcome any similarly exciting WhatsApp messages in the near future, too! XOXO
