I have never had one. Never had a mani/pedi. And only 1 massage, my kids gave me a GC for Mothers Day one year.
But I did tell DH that when our remodeling projects are finished, I am making an apt for a 1 hour pampering. I am so sore from climbing ladders, bending, stretching, squatting, etc.....

I've always wanted to treat myself to a facial, but I do love the Elizabeth Arden Peel and Reveal mask. Glycolic acid (and spironolactone) is my best friend!

@oldtex - men give themselves mini-facials every time they shave. A man and woman of the same age will not normally LOOK the same age (IMHO). When men age, they become "distinguished". When women age some of us become more refined, but society seems to value youth much more in the female gender then experience. Personally, I'm not really concerned about every wrinkle or age spot. I've earned the grey hairs etc that I've got. But, I do want to keep my skin looking as nice as I can and really don't need to show more wear and tear than I've actually encountered. I get what you're saying, but I do want to take good care of my skin so the years don't have to show through any more than necessary. ETA - just for you Tex! Yes! I plan on letting gray hair grow naturally. I have light hair, so it might be a while before I notice any, but I accept gray hair nonetheless. I am taking care of my skin now with the intent on aging gracefully. There is a world of difference between my grandmom and aunts who avoided the sun versus my mom who worshipped the sun. I want to look like my grandmom does when I'm 84. Men get better with age, so should I!

Those suckers got covered up on Monday, thank goodness! Maybe sometime I'll look good all gray, but not at 27 when 99.5% of my hair is dark brown, and gray hairs stick out like a sore thumb.

One of my cousins started going grey in 3rd grade! I don't know how old she was before her Mom let her start coloring, but she inherited the condition from her.

That's why I let DD wax her brows, or actually I paid for them to get waxed. Starting in 3rd grade. I used to sneak into my moms bathroom and use her razor on mine. We both inherited my dads unibrow!
