I’ve posted before about my strong feelings on taking time for oneself. If you take care of everyone else, who will take care of you? Don’t you deserve downtime? Well, that’s how I justify my mani/pedi, anyway… Today I splurged and added a massage to further pamper myself (could have gone for a facial, too!). Here’s the kicker: I used RRs to pay for it all! Yup, the spa has started accepting unexpired RRs and cats for products and services at an 80% cat to cash ratio (in other words, every $1 RR is valued at .80 cash), so a $35 hair cut would cost you $43.75 (assuming you paid completely in cats). Obviously you have to pay the tax with cash, but still. I thought it was a great idea! Let me know your feelings on this – think it will catch on? As long as they don’t play funny numbers when you’re using cats (you know, the “regular prices” Jewel and Dominicks use to justify their incredible markdowns) instead of cash.
too funny! hilarious! I think you should try it at your local Mario Tricoci…I’d love to see the look on their face when you try to do that! 🙂
what spa is this at?
It’s a relaxing place in Lisle I’ve been going to since she opened 5 or 6 years ago. If you want/need more info, please contact me at the above tab. Honestly? It’s a wonderful way to treat yourself without feeling guilty about the money.
