Susan asks…

Please translate the following into future tense french? 

My perfect weekend would start off with me having a long lie in on the saturday morning. Then i would take a plane to London and have my breakfast at a nice cafe in Covent Garden there. I would then go shopping in Oxford street and buy lots of clothes from all my favourite shops and Mac Makeup from Harrods. I would have as much money as id like. I would then go to one of the fashion shows in London Fashion Week and sit front row with all the celebs and sit next to Anna Wintour.After the show i would go to a alist party and hopefully meet Ash Stymest there. After that i would then go to a 6 star hotel and stay the night. I would then have a long lie in again and go to for a spa day in london on the sunday. On the sunday night i would take the plane home back to Glasgow and get ready for school the next day. This is my perfect weekend. ( sorry its so long its this thing for school :) ) x

The Sage answers: 

Mon week-end parfait serait de commencer par moi d'avoir un mensonge longtemps dans le samedi matin. Ensuite, je prenais un avion pour Londres et avoir mon petit déjeuner dans un café sympa, Covent Garden là. Je voudrais ensuite faire du shopping à Oxford street et acheter des lots de vêtements de toutes mes boutiques préférées et Mac Maquillage de Harrods. J'aurais autant d'argent comme pièce d'identité similaire. Je voudrais ensuite aller à l'un des défilés de mode Fashion Week de Londres et de s'asseoir première ligne avec toutes les stars et s'asseoir à côté d'Anna Wintour.After le spectacle je voudrais aller à une fête et nous espérons répondre alist Ash Stymest là. Après cela, je puis aller à l'hôtel 6 étoiles, et passer la nuit. Je voudrais donc avoir un long mensonge à nouveau et aller au spa pour une journée à Londres le dimanche. Sur le i dimanche soir prendrait la maison avion pour Glasgow et se préparer pour l'école le lendemain. Ceci est mon week-end parfait.

Go to google translator if u need more. :) good luck!

James asks…

Why would Spa Busness Owners and Staff be synical to others trying to better themselves? 

" I know..the economy is hurting right now.. and mabe this is not the right or perfect time to go back to school for certain occupations.. But.. I and other hope things will pick up and improve. I contacted this Spa.. actually 12.. one only replied back.. asking about the field with the economy.. and was told its hard .. because no one want to hire new grads? Well she and others were all new graduates at one time. As an Esthetician in WI.. unlike.. Cosmetology... we can work with our license on our own if we want. The spas expect you to do the leg work.. bring in all the busness then when your ready to leave .. you can't take with you the busness you brought in? How is that fair.. when an Esthetician.. is a Professional with a lisense who can work from home no over head.. bringing in all the clients.. Also.. if busness was bad or that slow.. how can the Spas afford to pay their employees then.. and why aren't they shutting down. As an esthetician.. you can contract yourself out to Theatres..Opera house.. that is more money.. If your brave.. enough to go into high end dancing establishments and escort services that is even more money.. they need these services for their busness and looks.. they make thousands a day. I don't know.. why these Spas are so.. caddy.. acting like we Estheticians that are recent graduates can't get clients alone...when the spa requests we do this for them.. Also.. these Spas cant supply hours.. and yet make you sign a clause to not work at another? When you have to pay your rent? It all depends .. on how persistant and what a go getter you are. You can sell yourself and services. Also.. products and baskets.. spa parties for kids..teens adults.. etc. Bridal Parties.. ideas are endless.. Should I not... let this experience with this email that was negative to get me down? If ... I were a cosmetologist here.. I would have no choice but to work under a spas license for two years before .. I could go it alone.. but .. I am not... and don't. Cheer Me On Friends.. I need the encouragement. Thanks

How to make the perfect spa day?  

My sister is really sad and I want to cheer her up so i figured we'd have a spa day! I have recipes for frozen drinks, but i'm not sure what we should do. Any ideas? 

The Sage answers: 

Face masks deffinitley :) And a good exfoliator for legs and feet - stick your feet in a bowl and soak them in warm soapy water for a while. Also, some body lotions are always nice !
Lots of chocolate and cakes and yummy things are a must too.
Plus some chilling music and some incense :)
Hope this helps ! X 

Lizzie asks… 

How do I have the perfect spa day? 

Ok I am only 11 so i can't afford a day at the spa.But I want to have a spa day in my bedroom.I have some stuff like salty margarita foot scrub but that's it. Can anyone help me. 

The Sage answers: 

Have mini home made one:
A good one for skin, is by mixing together salt and honey, its moisturising for skin yet the salt exfoliates it making it look really soft, plus removes dead skin cells. Makes your skin look gorgusss!!! :) 

You can also paint your nails, a mini manicure then put on some hand lotion. 

Mark asks… 

how to have the perfect spa day with your mom? 

my mom and i are planing to have a spa day tomorrow so i need the perfect schedule for me and my mom.We are on a budget so not to expensive plz!! Thanks 

The Sage answers: 

My friend and I like to get our spa day started early in the morning. Some places will offer package deals that include a manicure/pedicure, facial and massage. If you can't afford a complete package, then maybe just go with the pedicure and facial and do the manicure's yourself at home. Give them to each other. Then a nice light lunch and maybe even catch an early movie. 

Spa days are fun and great! Enjoy. 

Daniel asks… 

What would be your perfect spa day? 

Cost is not a problem. 

The Sage answers: 

A massage, a chocolate facial, laser hair removal, a cucumber peel over the eyes, a wax job, pedicure and manicure, having a book to read while I am lying in the mud bath or listening to a i-pod. 

Sharon asks… 

The Perfect Spa Day for the Holidays? *Girls only*? 

I was thinking my best friend and I could go shopping at Bath & Body Works and get some stuff then get a haircut and mani-peti's. Does this sound fun? It's just something we could do. Or would it be better and cheaper for me to go buy stuff and paint each others nails, but the downside to that is that we don't get a haircut. 

The Sage answers: 

That sounds like so much fun!!! I would go for the more expensive option :) That's just me but both will definetly be a lot of fun!! Great Idea! Maybe don't go to a really nice salon but still a nice one that will do a good job. Or you could have some fun and cut eachothers hair with some online instructions, haha I would never trust my friends though.

For most of the year, relaxation really isn't an option. Instead, we must spend most of our time juggling work and family life. To help you relax and unwind, you might want to pamper yourself by booking a day at a spa. However, to ensure your day of relaxation doesn't turn into a day of stress, you will need to plan ahead and this article can help you do exactly that.

When planning your day out, be sure to do some research ahead of time. Different spas will offer different kinds of treatments and activities for you to do. Be sure to find a location that offers all of the things you wish to do.

Most spas will offer treatments including mud baths and massage therapy. However, the types of massages and baths at each location will vary. Some may also offer special meal plans to help you feel better from the inside out.

If you're trying to improve your skin, you should find a club that offers a wide range of facials and peels for the entire body. Look for glycolic acid treatments, since these help even out skin tone and improve cell turnover. They may also help get rid of acne.

Some clubs offer activities for you to do during the day and night. These may include special diving trips or sight-seeing trips. There may also be group activities. If you enjoy these types of activities, look for clubs that offer them all year round.

Pampering yourself can get expensive. Be sure to scope out any deals you can find. During certain times of the year, many clubs will have special rates for newcomers. They may also have discounts for people who pay to have several treatments upfront. There may even be a deal where you save money by bringing a friend with you.

Your spa day should help you relax and feel better than ever. Remember to do your research and plan ahead to get your money's worth.
