I cannot even remember back when I had my last spa experience since the Covid-19 pandemic. I think it was the end of January. I know that things were getting very scary here in Los Angeles and it was probably the last safe day for me to go out to a public mall. I must admit that the mall was not at all crowded. In fact it was very deserted. The spa was empty as well. And this was before we were told NOT to go out. There were a lot of mixed messages then about what we should be doing regarding the precautions of this lethal virus.

While many celebs are sharing their public service messages about staying home in their McMansions in lockdown here in Los Angeles, some of us are confined to our in tiny apartments, grateful for a roof over our heads and a safe place to sleep.

For the rest of us, it was OK until we couldn’t even go out to our favorite hiking trail or park to enjoy the freedom of being outside or nature.
So now I will indulge myself in sharing the memory of my last spa experience, which by the way I think was probably one of the best ever!
