It was delicious.  I&#8217;m not a tea drinker but, after that stuff, I&#8217;m converted.  I&#8217;m going to start drinking Aveda&#8217;s comforting tea from now on.<\/p>\n<p>Before my haircut, Crystal had me smell this aromatherapy stuff on her hands.  I think that&#8217;s the &#8220;aroma sensory journey&#8221; part of the whole experience.  Then she gave me a neck and shoulder massage before washing my hair.  She used some kind of smoothing shampoo and conditioner made by Aveda.  It smelled good.  I love Aveda stuff.  Haircut followed. After my haircut, Vanessa did my makeup.<\/p>\n<p>I got pretty much everything listed on the coupon except for the &#8220;stress-relieving hand therapy&#8221; but Elements threw in a free sample of Aveda&#8217;s hand and body wash so I didn&#8217;t really mind.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/4605482426\/\"  title=\"my free aveda stuff by Ching, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4036\/4605482426_92b3452c34.jpg\" width=\"500\" class=\"pic\" height=\"375\" alt=\"my free aveda stuff\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>How about you?

Where did you go and what did you get?<\/p>\n<p>P.S. Oh, and I also learned that they do something similar to &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/brubakers.us\/?p=3430\" >rebonding<\/a>&#8221; at Elements.  It&#8217;s called CHI hair straightening.  The only difference is that it&#8217;s permanent (as opposed to only lasting six months) and it&#8217;s not as damaging to your hair.  Oh, and it&#8217;s tons more expensive.  It&#8217;s like $100 an hour and the process takes about three hours.  It is cheaper than flying to the Philippines just to get my hair rebonded again, though.  =P<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I scheduled a haircut at Elements and redeemed my Aveda stimulus package coupon at the same time.
