The Geisha Facial
OK, seriously, what is wrong with these people? A spa in NYC is now offering the Geisha facial. Sounds exotic, doesn’t it? Well, not so much!
The Geisha Facial is prepared with bird poop. I guess the fact that it is the nightingale’s poop is supposed to make a difference, because, you know, nightingales are special 
Come on! Dried droppings are mixed with rice bran and then applied on the face. The owner found inspiration in the story her mother told her about this recipe being used by geishas to remove the heavy make up. Um, that’s nice but that was also in the 18th century and we have improved the way we treat our skin since then. Maybe not considering women pay $180 for this pampering session. And here I am, thinking fish pedicure was kind of odd. Next time you see bird’s droppings, do not waste a moment, now you have an idea on how to use it. Yuck

Fish pedicure, anyone?
I am not sure if I am the only one who gets queasy about this fish pedicure thing. This is quite bizarre if you ask me, but it turns out, a spa in VA offers a treatment where carp (also known as “doctor fish”), nibbles on the scaly skin. It is supposedly very effective. This spa treatment is not what I mean when I post recipes for home spa night, but it sure is natural. Anyone for fish pedicure?
Here’s a video of it - eeek!
