twilightpony | Oil, Wax and Trim

I have royal duty tomorrow, starting bright and early when Celestia's Royal Flying Guard will pick me up to take me to Canterlot for the Annual Assembly of Equestrian Municipal Affairs. I won't be wearing anything fancy, this isn't a ball or gala, it's strictly administrative and a ceremonial presence. During the proceedings, I'll just be wearing my crown. So today I went to the spa.

The Crystal Empire oil bath may leave a pony with a bit of excess oil but it really makes me feel, and look radiant. Thus, I had that, plus a hooficure, feather waxing (no glitter) and a heat soak in the sauna. Not in that order, the sauna came first and the oil bath came last. After the strigil combing, I asked them to try and soak a bit more of the oil out of my fur with towels as I don't want to leave a pony-shaped oil-print in Princess Celestia's chariot tomorrow. Right now I'm again wrapped in towels, just to wick a bit more of the oil out. Otherwise, the oil bath is so worth it.

I told Rainbow Dash about the In The Field dinner and she's pretty excited, even though I haven't heard back from the Explorer's Society yet. I told Rarity that I didn't want to get quite so dressed up this time. I hope she's not too disappointed.
