#5 All Wrapped Up

My Mom bought a gift certificate for a mineral wrap, and she got it half off.  So, she invited me to go with her.  Now, before you get all testy and protest that I have no reason to get a mineral wrap, because I'm skinny, stop.  First of all, I get frustrated when people make comments like, "Yeah, like you need to watch what you eat" or "Please, you don't need to work out."  As if, because I am thin, I have no right to work towards a healthy lifestyle. 
So, I wouldn't have gotten this wrap, if it hadn't been free for me to go.  I don't care about losing inches, which is the big deal about getting these wrap.  But, I do care about improving my cellulite (yes, I do have some), and cleansing my body of toxins.  A mineral wrap does both.
So, my mother and I trucked over to the wrap place (after purchasing our cupcakes from the cupcake shop in town, haha).  We got drawn on, measured, and then wrapped in wet, mineral soaked Ace bandage type things.  She wrapped me so tight, I couldn't breath in deeply, and it felt like it was constricting my circulation (to which I was told I have to keep moving).  She squirted us down with more mineral water every 20 minutes, and we stood in this room, trying to move in our very constricting mummy suits, and sorta watched the movie that they put on for us.
I have to say, I did not enjoy it.  It was slightly cold, not comfortable, and not very fun.  And, as a person who gets neck tension very easily, I ended up with a sore neck afterward.  But, I hope it was at least good for my health.  I must admit, I didn't wait the 24 hours I was supposed to wait before showering (I get too greasy for that), and I did not keep away from sugar (as I ate my cupcake when we got home).  But, it is always nice to spend time with my mommy, so we have that at least.  :)

  4. Crazy, they always make body wraps sound like some relaxing spa experience and apparently you don't even get to lay down or lounge. Hope all the toxins are out. Not drinking soda should help that too. ~Victoria
