Sometimes you just never know what kind of surprise you get!
Thought you’d like this dailybooth!
Brrrr! I can’t believe how cold it’s been lately. It was so hot last weekend and then temperatures just dropped so much during the week! I guess it is the last week of October after all.. Just wanted to wish everyone a very Happy Halloween and stay warm! I’ll be either hibernating or going somewhere much warmer… You can take a guess as to which I choose. :)
I was in desperate need of a haircut. My regular stylist it out this month, so I had to find a new place to go to. I rarely get haircuts as you can see.
Albert found this place called Karen Alen Salon & Spa Aveda on Yelp, so I thought I’d try them out.
So I went mall for a walk-in, and they seated me right away. I was only expecting to get a haircut and shampoo. But the girl at the desk offered me tea, and the whole salon has the scents of aromatherapy. These were such pleasant surprises! There was no smell of strange hair products neat me at all, which was very nice.
So a haircut comes with two free add-ons which included head/should massage, foot bath, hand/arm massage, and a few other things. The haircut also include shampoo and style of course. The girl who did my hair was very sweet! She showed me all the products she used, but there was no pressure to buy anything.
And the part that really caught my eye is the fact that they’re on Twitter and Facebook! You know how much I love social networks. ;)
I had such a wonderful time, and I can’t wait to stop by again. I went in for a haircut, but got a mini spa treament in addition to a new style. Love it. Thank you Karen Allen!
It’s a boy.. and a girl! @dragonal and I finally made the plunge to get iPhones tonight. We waited for a very long time. I’ve been using my iPod Touch for the past few years to test out apps, but having an iPhone is much more convenient. Now I don’t have to worry about finding wifi hotspots for certain apps. The important upgrade was actually having a camera, and the auto-focus on the new one is quite nice.
We arrived at the Apple Store (made an appointment online first of course), and they gave us a ticket and said someone will be with us soon. The moment the guy stepped away, another Apple Genius came by and took our tickets. Very fast service! After filling out the online form to get the first phone activated, the Apple Genius got a glimpse of @dragonal’s HTC Magic (G2) phone and was so excited about it. LOL He kept wanting to take it to show his friends. I guess they see nothing but iPhones all day huh? ;) Well, there’s a geek moment for you!
Then the second phone was activated. The Apple Genius mentioned something about 6 hours before everything is moved over — not surprised because the last time I changed services, it took 24 hours. Surprisingly, the moment after I was given back the phone, it was all activated and both voice + data worked. Wow. So activation probably took 1 or 2 minutes! We were in and out of the Apple Store in no time.
Afterward, we sat down on a nearby bench, downloading apps. Our phones felt naked. ;) I’m a very happy camper. Now I just need to buy accessories, like a car-charger. My iPod Touch car-charger apparently is not made for the iPhone.
I just wanted to ask a quick question… are you ready for the new Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince movie?! I can’t believe it’s been two years since the last movie. I can’t wait to see this one. Tweet me or leave a comment and let me know how excited you are! :)
