Waxing Moon Spa

I'm back at work and healing up nicely! 🖤 I'll be here this week and next before heading off to Salem for a witchy birthday vacation! 🔮🎃 I'll be closed October 4th–12th.

After that, no more extended closures until well into next year! 👻

Spooky season is officially here, and I couldn't be happier! 🧙‍♀️

Another happy Brazilian 💜✨ Love when the reviews make me blush! ☺️

Bumbershoot! This marked the end of summer for me. Mermaids and protest art. Crab Mac and cheese(too much couldn't finish it lol)

De La Soul was the main draw for me as a 90s kid that loves hip hop and they did not disappoint!☮️🏵 Also got to see a newer to me artist Sudan Archives killing it with her violin.

We were tired and about to head out when we walked passed the mural stage while TOKiMONSTA was on and immediately felt the vibe and ran into the crowd for more dancing 🤘🏽

Good times! And good timing because while summer was amazing I am EXHAUSTED. And surgery is forcing me to just...stop..and be still which I think I really needed. 😏

How was your Labor Day weekend?

Fast, friendly, and precise.💜I’ll take that!🌙

A little heads-up! 🌙✨ Waxing Moon will be closed September 8–18 while I take some time to heal from surgery. I’ll be back behind the wax pot Saturday, September 19! 💜

Thank you for your patience and understanding! See you soon! 🥰

Last weekend was an adventure indeed! 🏕️

My annual trip with my dad was thwarted once again, this time by fires, so he had to cancel. Thankfully, my friend was coming this year, so I could still go!

We camped in the Columbia River Gorge on the Washington side of the river. Even with the smoke, it was absolutely beautiful. I really liked our little campground with the creek—especially once the noisy kids across the way left after the first night. 😅

We played some disc golf, but the real highlight was hiking Little Huckleberry Mountain. And when I say “highlight,” I mean it was 2.5 miles of almost straight-up misery. 😂

But really, aren’t all the best hikes going to have parts you hate? 😬

My friend realized my mood had shifted and that I needed some space for the last 20 minutes to get my ass up that mountain. I cried. 🙈 I cursed. 🤬 I nearly gave up.

But! ☝🏾 I MADE IT. 💪🏾

It took me a minute to chill out once I reached the top, but eventually I was able to appreciate the AMAZING views—Mount Adams and St. Helens to the north and Mount Hood to the south. Thankfully, the smoke had cleared for the most part, although you could still see a huge billowing cloud of smoke surrounding Hood.

On the way down, we ate wild berries 🫐🍓 and stopped to enjoy the wildflowers. 🌼🌸

Camp food highlight: finally trying a strawberry s’more! 🍓🔥

And, of course, laughing at my friend because once again, his dog had destroyed his bedding. 🤦🏽‍♀️😂

All in all, a lovely trip. ❤️
