Did my once-a-year legging shop. Went back to WAG on Long, where I bought Best Leggings Evar last year.

Why are they Best Leggings Evar? Because they have a fold-over waist that doesn’t make a bulge on your hips. Because they have sizeable cuffs, so they shape your lower legs nicely. Because they are made from fabric that is stronger than a chick blogger posting ‘how she really felt about Eat, Pray, Love’ on her blog (v strong, prepared for anything). And now you know. You can fan WAG on facebook.

It was GJ’s birthday, so we made him drink til 4am, and then we made him eat eggs benedict at Lazari. He made us eat EB too, ‘because it’s his birthday’. What choice did we have? Had to just ‘put the diets on hold’ to make GJ feel good about his bday. The sacrifices we make.

Enjoyed the St Barth’s Harmony Massage at the Arabella Spa at the Westin Grand. This rates as one of the Best Massages Evar. Not just saying that because of the view (above and below). My masseuse was physio trained, and helped me ‘work through some neck issues’. She also got into my glutes which made me cry. And she fixed my lower leg cramps.

‘Sometimes you just need to be touched’.

It felt good. To be touched. Where it hurts.

View of the Harbour.

View of the city. One thing you have to do, once in your life, is lie on one of the heated waterbeds at The Westin after your massage. Above is your view, while you are enveloped in the loving, warm, womb-like heat of the waterbeds.

It is like a soothing revisit to your primordial past, evoking your inner amoeba, a single-celled world where nothing matters anymore.

Yes. It really is like that.
