I'm not a big spender, believe me...they are giving me $200.00 to play the slots, and that will be it for me. I'm not sure if this is related to mystery shopping. They must have gotten my name from doing Hooters, and since Hooters built a small Hotel in Vegas, could be a promotion. Whatever, I'm there.

I'd spend the slot money on something useful to me, such as a massage or a facial. They probably cost a lot more than that there. I can get a $25 massage at the massage school or $80 with a professional here. My facials are nearly $100 because I also get my face waxed. It makes the makeup go on so much smoother, and no one is staring at the hair on my chinny-chin-chin. A friend says that when couples get older, the hair jumps from the men's heads to their wive's chins. Unfortunately, while mystery shopping full time I can't afford either of those luxuries, but I keep hoping. I don't get as much benefit from a massage, which is supposed to help with allergies, but I think my health improves from a facial. I also like colon hydrotherapies. They are a lot more pleasant than a colonoscopy, and the person doing it tells me the result. Wow, do I feel good afterwards! I think my hydrotherapist is charging $65 now. For the first time, they recommend several trips, then seasonal trips afterwards. Some people say that that cleans out the good germs and that is bad for you, but I've never had an ill effect. Colon cancer runs in my family. I know a cancer survivor who gets a colon hydrotherapy monthly. I hope somehow to make enough money to go back to all the alternative medicine that was making me feel good. I don't even get carrot juice very often now.

Don't get carrot juice, poor baby....I can't spend the 200.00 on anything but the slots, because they give you tokens. You know they will get their money back, that's Vegas. I have had all you mentionbed, and do love massages. I go to Kaiser (health care provider in California), and they give great massages for $30.00. They encourage it by saying it's good for your health. I feel so relaxed after, circulation and all else works better. I am in good health, but some primping from time to time doesn't hurt. I would love to do Hotels and spa's, there's a reward there. Have you done either.

Surprisingly to me, dry skin brushing (I use a bath brush that has never been wet and brush vigorously on my legs and arms toward the heart while I'm lying down and they are in the air. I dust off the skin cells from the brush with my hands.) gives me a very nice after-feeling, especially at bedtime. I call it a poor person's massage.
