Tend & Spruce skincare and massage

Up to date post: The past two days went by quickly. I traveled from Paris to Marseille, stayed the night, woke early, grabbed 3 separate trains and one bus back to Tübingen.
The trains station and IPhone maps working together was incredibly confusing. It took a little bit to navigate where to go to get out of the station.
Marseille’s city near the water was interesting. It looked like tons of alleys that were actually streets. The streets have side by side buildings, tightly fit together. There are store fronts that look like little warehouse entrances. It utilizes it’s space very efficiently. The hotel was near a clothing district? Store fronts filled with almost the same shoes and clothing repeatedly. Restaurants were tucked in everywhere. I got out of the city and out to the waterfront area. There was something that looked like a vendor market. I went in. It made me chuckle. All of the vendors were selling THE SAME THING!! The whole market was filled with figurines, little buildings and mangers to build villages. Probably to also build nativity scenes. Or maybe just to build very detailed nativity scenes? It was funny to walk through and keep thinking, “I’m sure this is just a section of this market.” Nope!! The whole market was focused on that customer base.
The best parts of Marseille were the food, the uniqueness of the city and the people.
I’m happy I got a snapshot of Marseille. I’d love to stay longer and see more of it.
I’m back in Tübingen. I’m taking a laundry/rest day. I’ll make a plan of what is next on this fun adventure!!

I hope everyone is feeling hopeful and filled with some joy in this new year. ♥️

If I didn’t get to see you before the holidays, I want you to know that I’m going to EUROPE!!! 🤗 I’ll be back to work on Jan. 11! If you reach out to me via text or email, I may be delayed in responding. I’ll be 9 hours ahead of WA. If you’d like to try your hand at scheduling or rescheduling yourself try my website @ [email protected] I’m completely grateful to all of you. You make work never feel like work. You bless me with your time, your wisdom, your silliness, your trust and your generosity. Happiest Holidays to you and yours! 🎄🎅🏻🕎🎉🥳🎊

Do people really say things like this? Are they excited when they say it?

I specifically do skincare and massage to avoid this type of business. When I worked at MHS, a spreadsheet made me cry in frustration. Seriously!!!

The closest I get to spreadsheets is “spreading sheets” on my table to work. 😉

Happy Turkey Day Eve!!

2021 was supposed to be a normal year. It felt like it was, for a month. I’ve been MIA a lot this year, on social media. I’m so grateful to my clients for coming in and trusting me with their care. I’ve been trying to straddle a home renovation, owning a small business and a pandemic. It hasn’t been easy. My clients have been so loving to me. I’m truly blessed. ♥️ If you’re in the holiday mood, please support local. It might take some extra time but it’s well worth it. I know many small businesses that would love your support. Reach out if you need ideas. Amazon may bring it to your door but small businesses are your community. They live by you. They need you. Love them this season, please. ♥️♥️♥️
