Are you looking for a Spa close by, like where you live in Covington, WA? Danielle Ross opened in a brand new building in Covington next to QFC. They used to be next to Pier One, but recently moved into their new custom building. It is a Salon and Spa. One stop place to get yourself pampered.

It will be Mother's Day tomorrow. Go pamper yourself and get a facial. Ask for Kris. If she isn't available, the other estheticians are great also.

Why go far when you have a great Spa and Salon in your neck of the woods.

Trappers Sushi in Covington, WA is a new addition in Restaurants next to Kohls. I went there last week for lunch, thinking that it may be good. I saw a glimpse in the window from the outside one evening that it was a little bit packed. So, I thought why not try it for lunch. I love sushi.

I am not a restaurant or food critic, but just a normal consumer out to find good food in local restaurants instead of driving so far away. I also wanted to support the local business.

Well, the food was ok, but overpriced. The ambiance.....deceiving at first. It was a bit crazy and loud...... Every 10 minutes or randomly one of the staff would yell "hello", and then a whole chorus of "hello from the rest of the staff would follow like a very loud echo. During my entire meal and sitting there, they must have shouted out "hello" in chorus almost a dozen times. It startled me at first. When it kept on happening, I thought how obnoxious it was for them to do that. That is not "cute" or "funny". What is wrong with these people.

if you are looking for a peaceful lunch, don't go there. If you are looking for overpriced sushi, do go there. Trappers Sushi in Covington, WA will be having their Grand Opening in June.

Try it for yourselves and let me know what you think.
