a spa birthday party

last week
my baby girl
turned 11 years old

and to celebrate the day
she decided to host a spa-themed party

so i gathered up my supplies:

white towels
white wash cloths
nail polish
cotton balls
cucumber slices
hair bands
nail files
mud masks

and set up

fresh washcloths
later to be moistened and warmed

water bottles personalized by
the birthday girl

when the guests had all arrived
they donned their mud masks
and soothing cucumber slices
and allowed me to photograph them
for posterity

there ensued
a fair amount of giggling

because

those pesky cukes

kept sliding off
and dropping on the floor

no matter

dark circles
and puffy eyes
were no more

after the facials
we moved onto
manicures and pedicures

each girl taking her turn
enjoying a fresh
scented foot bath
which
i'm told

was quite relaxing

later
the birthday cupcakes
were consumed
after the requisite wish making
and candle blowing

little miss
decorated them all by her onsie

finally
gifts were opened
one by one

and the party
drew to its natural conclusion

and after three hours of party prep
hostessing
cleaning up

no one needed a spa day more than

me
