JEANASINA! MISS MINNESOTA INTRODUCES SA BEL! ROCK IT MINNEAPOLIS!
Meg does Minnesota!
Jeanasina here with my review of having Meg stay at my house! OMG people! A one woman force of nature entered the small domain of Jean and Harleyman's world and showed us a glimpse into a world through her fabulous personal stories that is SO beyond Minnesota! I felt like we have had a movie-star in our house and my Harleyman was asking Meg to sign his autograph book every 30 minutes until I had to put a stop to it.
Meg arrived deep into the night on Saturday and my Harleyman and I helped her with 4 bags of what had to be solid lead into our car. The very idea that this whisp of a girl managed 4 back-busting bags of luggage on her own up to this point blows one's mind! I was so excited when I saw Meg coming down the escalator in her cute black hat, designer winter coat and Ugg boots I think I was literally jumping up and down yelling "It's MEG everybody! It's MEG!!!! I'm pretty sure I did a hand stand at that point too! We drove her shivering body to our little home and began what was to be four days of escapades, shopping, movie going, eating, wine and Saki drinking, and lots & lots of dialog! Meg also introduced me to the world of sushi which I learned I LOVE! Meg can recite the names of various sushi dishes the way I can talk about laundry detergent!
We put Meg right to bed that first night after talking until 1:00 in the morning - please note I normally am sleeping at 9:30-10:00 but this was MEG in my living room so my eyes were as wide as fried eggs as Meg regaled us with tales about her time at Fashion Week and beyond!
Ok, so here's the deal, I pretty much don't cook and my biggest worry had been what on earth was I going to cook for Meg!! Well let me tell you, I have been worrying for nothing because people, Meg doesn't eat! She picks! And only picks ONCE per day! People, the mega-watt woman who runs this website empire is a smokin' pickin' fashion-speakin' hell of a one woman show who runs on very LITTLE fuel! Think bird like appetite. Who would guess that Meg's idea of a good time is a bowl of popcorn with a side of Ranch flavoring to sprinkle on top! Meg sang "Ode to Joy" every time she dug into her popcorn feast!
Meg can tell you about every cosmetic out there, about every designer label that is in any store and about who is WHO in the world of entertainment! I just have had so much fun hanging out with Meg that it's going to be really sad to put her back on a plane! Our little house will never be the same and our guest room - well it's just going to be a shell of a empty room once her energy leaves. I think we might as well board it up because NOBODY will ever bring the kind of energy Meg did to our guest room!
One thing I love about Meg is that when we talk she makes me feel like we are both the same age and how fun is that? So, ladies, after spending time with Meg I can honestly tell you in my review of her that I would do it again and again and AGAIN! This has been four of the most fun days I can remember having in a long long time! Meg came to see me I think to get some rest but while she was taking it easy, I was having such a great time just being around her! Yippieee! It was four great days to be me! Love you Meg! Now, since this is Meg's website, I'm going to allow her to tell you her side of the story...
Meg here! Minnesota, O.K. Never been there. Been running around the East Coast. Would love to see Jeanasina -would love a break from the rat race. Ticket booked. Minneapolis here I come!
Here is where the inherent snobbery kicks in. I thought "Well, it will be very relaxing seeing as there is nothing to do." Wrong and so wrong! Uptown rivals NYC's Village with amazing shopping and great eats! It's all around this gorgeous picturesque lake. It's quite breathtaking and it reminds me how beautiful and different this entire country is. It could be it's own country of "quaintville" if we were in Europe.
I more then recharged my batteries at Jeanasina's!
No that wasn't a vibrator plug but yeah, I thought it too.
I was brought to an AMAZING Salon with Spa services. I would give it huge thumbs up! SA BEL.
Jeanasina raved over it and I went in hesitantly. We were not in NYC or Beverly Hills. Could this spa deliver to what I was used to? OK THEY OVER-DELIVERED!! Beverly Hills, Bel-Air, Santa Monica, Manhatten, Hollywood Hills-I've gotten a massage from "the best" in each location.
If you are a massage therapist or own a spa read this HEATED BLANKETS! Why that is not standard I do not know. It makes such a warm and cuddly difference. You get asked to remove your clothes and then you freeze for a minute. How about getting yourself into a warm cocoon?
Let's face it, warm is sexy. Sara got that and asked me how I felt about pressure. I said "I love popping pimples, I know it's gross. I love hearing the knots in my back snap. Can you do that? Will you let me hear them snap?"
Snap, Crackle and Pop Baby! I am a new women! While Jeanasina was being brought to glorious shades of lowlights by Margarest Wurst I still had some time to spare.
I grabbed manicurist Lorrie Boyd, she was very professional and lovely. She asked what color I wanted, I pulled You Don't Know Jacques from OPI out of my handbag. Yes, I carry it IN MY CHANEL PURSE! She didn't pass judgment but went with it. Apparently, her's was stolen, HELLO!!
I am ready to pack up and move here to Minneapolis! The services are top-notch. The people are kind, the real estate is affordable, the sushi is mouth-watering. Jeanasina lives here and so does The Excellent Sa Bel!
Check It Out Here!
I found a fabulous spa even more then LA or NY! Right here in Minneapolis! The treatments are amazing! Let's hear it for smaller cities with great services! Tell us about yours!

Sounds like a great time was had by all!
Awh, this sounds like a really amazing time for all of you! I have never been out there, but my boyfriend's brother lives out and Nebraska so he gets to see both states when he visits. Boy, do I love sushi! I am have a sudden craving for some now . . .
Let's all enjoy the Summer sunshine!
Awesome post ^_^
... sanity is relative, insanity is quantum mechanics ...
What a fantastic post by both Meg and Jesansina! :) Sounds like you both had a wonderful time, I swear I'd be so excited if I ever got to meet Meg as well!!! I love heated blankets, I've been into hospital a couple of times and going onto the surgery table I was given some heated blankets. It was DIVINE! Its like having an electric blanket on, but on the top of you! I LOVE it :)
I loved reading this!! Jeanasina and Meg combined in one post makes for a fabulously funny read! I love you ladies and hope to meet you both one day!
hehe what a great read! jeanasina, your joy is infectious and hilarious at the same time.. glad you girls had so much fun!
i'm so glad you had a great time!! :):)whenever i think of "stay over" i think of slumber parties and girlie sleepovers like the ones i used to have with my girl friends. I haven't quite had a serious "grown up" stay over .. as of yet.. i think if i do.. it'll remain childish with prank calls, fairy bread and door knocking.speaking of heated blankets.. i've only had a taste of it recently!!! because a kid in high school had an accident with an electrical blankey i just never went near it... but my bf has one and it is absolutely heaveennn in winter!

I am so gone from Minnesota. Lived there my first 21 years and I couldn't wait to leave. Loved the winters, hated summers. Mosquitoes. Where I live we don't have bugs. We don't even need screens on our windows. But I will admit, I love MSP. Downtown is wonderful, I have lots of friends and family there and visit quite often. Now I know a spa to hit while I am there. Did you know that you can get a massage or a facial during your layover in the airport. I run for that store every time I go through there. They are wonderful.Meg: Fill us in, what is next. It sounds like you are flying instead of driving.
You are so lucky to have met Meg!!!! and thanks for the lovely post you sent to my mom, agnes59! You are so hot for your age, I wish I looked like you!
thanks for your comment on my guestbook and you look lovely!
Ohhh great post i love jeanasina's post and Meg's post !!!I loved being at Minneapolis with you two !!! <3
Diamond are Girl Best Friend !!!

Yay, that sounds so fun :) Jeanasina you are so lucky to have hosted Meg :)I am a little disappointed to hear that Meg barely eats, I was hoping she rocked that amazing figure with full meals (I am not as svelte as Meg, but I am pretty slim and eat mountains, women who eat like birds always make me feel guilty, lol.)P.S. Love the hair Jeanasina!

Really fun post to read and while I know that Minnesota is not without its charms, I am a summer girl and after two years in balmy Chicago(relative to Minnesota), I am not heading north of NYC any time soon. Big fan of OPI YDKJ and if you like that color, try OPI for Sephora in Trench Coat.
Jeanasina you are such a great writer, you really allow me to imagine how you are feeling and what it must be like hanging with THE MEG!What fun it sounds!!! I am at St Johns Uni right now visiting as a guest artist, there is a lot of snow on the ground and a woodpecker outside making a ton of noise. I flew into the twin cities but unfortunately wont get to look around as my schedule is too busy.. oh well next time ..
makeup makeup makeup!!!!!!!
OMG I smiled reading your post..funny !! Heated blankets this winter anything heated was great. We have a newer spa and had a day (DH panted it) love it so much got a package for 3 months. How relaxing .. :)
Sounds like lots of fun. I would love to join you at the spa massage.
Glad you had such a good time here in Minnesota! I've lived here my whole life and love it. Did you get to go to St. Paul at all? I love it there even more than Minneapolis, it's got a lot more character to it I think. :)

You sound like you enjoyed yourselves. Lucky you.
Good writing like this is such a treat to read. I felt like I was there! (I wish, I wish)The spa sounds amazing. The best one I ever went to was in Scottsdale AZ ... but I have a girls' trip coming up at the end of the month. We're going to The Lodge at Woodloch in upstate PA and I absolutely can't wait. Will report back later!Meg and Jeanasina - you two are such fun people. I wish I knew you in real life!

I've really only ever been to one spa in my city (and there are tons trust me!) and it was fab! I like sushi more then I like saki. and I enjoy having *a* drink every now and then but I tried saki a couple months ago and it was just rank. I didn't like it at all, and I desperatley wanted to!!! Something about rice + alcohol just doesn't work well with me, or maybe it was just because I'm not used to drinking my alcohol warm.
What a blast! You two are hillarious and it sounds like you both had a more than fabulous time!
How exciting! I would love to run away to Minnesota right now after reading about your visit.I've lived in Southern California my whole life, but there are some really amazing places around the country that are hidden treasures. LA isn't all that it is built up to be. Sometimes I feel like packing up and running away.http://www.etsy.com/shop/inspirationvintage
sounds like the greatest slumber party ever!!!!
hahaha sounds like a great time!sushi is definitely amazing. have you tried the dragon roll? YUM.
oh those heated blankets do sound wonderful! Aww a back massage...awesome! glad u both had so much fun!
What a fun time and thanks for opening our eyes to what Minnesota has to offer. I'm sure you weren't the only person with a different thought of what that place would be like. It's so great to hear from an open mind!
Sounds like you both had a lot of fun!

Sounds like you guys really had a fun time! I want to plan a beauty friends sleepover.
Love that y'all got to spend a bit of time together! The quest for beauty is indeed universal,I've been many places in the world and no matter how small,how remote,or how impoverished women DO always seem to find a way to be more beautiful! Sounds like a visit to remember! :)
So glad to hear that you lovely ladies had a blast! I do love popcorn as well but I'm with lilychemgirl. I love to eat and always feel guilty when I'm eating tons and looking around to see others barely touching their food. Thank God I have a forgiving body and bf. LOL.
I love hearing about quaint little shops and salons. Sorry I do not have any to speak of. But it sounds like a wonderful place, hello heated blankets what more can you ask for?
I am absolutely loving these postcards from America :)
So glad you liked our little spot in the midwest!! Minnesota is full of amazing and beautiful sites!!Hope you got some much needed rest and are ready to conquer your next feat!!Heated blankets? I've never had a massage without one...they are divine!
I love how you have your fav colour polish in your purse
Ok I do not know the names of Sushi so I guess I too need to stay w/ Jeanasina. Glad you 2 had a good time. Love the story.
Sounds fun!
Sounds like you had a great time, now I want popcorn, sushi and a massage! =) xxx
Carly xxx
Sounds like fun.
I'm glad you ladies had such a great time!!!!
Gracie
sounds like you guys both had an amazing time...i'm aching for a salon or spa now :(
I'm so jealous. Jeanasina is one of my favorite reviewers, and it sounds like you ladies had so much fun. I do sometimes picture Alaska when I think of Minnesota, but then I remember that the Mall of America is there, so it must not be too rural and boring. I'd love to go there sometime...Meg makes it sound lovely!
Meg and Jeanasina are so beautiful! I can't imagine having a celebrity at my house but I love hearing my back snap too and the stretched out feeling that comes with it.
Bravo ladies...bravo!! sounds like you gals had a smashing time! I love the little diddy aboutsushi and laundry detergent, LOL too funny and yet I know what you mean. I like sushi and I have had it a few times BUT ask me about anything "cleaning related" and I will have the cure for your dilemma. Keep having fun ladies, the memories you make will make you smile a lifetime
aww sounds like u guys had a great time!
Sounds like you both had a great time. You look gorgeous in the photo!
I'm glad you had such a great time, Jeanasina! You deserve some fun. And Meg probably talks to you like you're the same age because you practically look the same age. You look like two beautiful sisters, just a few years apart.
Sounds like you girls had a blast!! Have never been to Minn.. but now I want to go too!
