Happy February! As well as a Happy Valentines Day for those celebrating.. no pressure.
February is usually a big month for us.. as M and I both get a little older. My birthday was last Sunday (had a friends baby's first birthday to attend) and his was on Monday so we celebrated on Saturday. We treated ourselves to a Korean spa.
This was our first time doing something like this. It was a very unique experience. We went to gender separated bathhouses where clothes we not permitted. I kept my towel close by. After a good soak we had booked a body scrub and a scrub it was.. bye bye epidermis. After the scrub we were given a uniform to wear and were reunited in the sauna area. They had 6 igloo like dry sauna's of varying temperatures and special qualities to sweat in and then I final ice cave to seal all those pores.
Afterwards we went to a traditional Pakistani restaurant to have chaat (a combination of chickpeas, onions, tomatoes, mint and cilantro chutney, tamarind chutney and crunchy crackers.) and falooda (kind of like a milkshake with nuts, jello and rice noodles in it)
We don't usually do presents but the kids (M) surprised me with L'Occitane hand and foot creams. And later this month we have tickets to go see Hasan Minhaj. p.s If you haven't heard of Hasan Minhaj please go check him out.
Happy birthday!

Hasan is funny; I like it when he has what he calls, Desi kids, on who roast his old school knowledge and teach him all the hip lingo of today. Your shared birthday celebration looked awesome! I have never heard of a Korean spa experience. And the Pakistani food looked really good.
