Tucker Leo Heidi Cherry & Vaya | Humans #12 Spa Night

Are you ready to meditate with Kari?

Make sure that you're lying down in your bed so that you can relax your body.

Take a nice,

Big,

Deep breath in.

Breathe all the way down into your tummy.

Hold it right there.

And then blow it out with a big sigh.

Relax your shoulders.

It's time to let go of your busy,

Busy day.

Time to relax as you listen to the story.

It was a Friday night and Heidi,

Cherry and Vea had gone over to Tucker and Leo's house.

I'm so bored,

Said Cherry.

I've had a terrible week.

It's been so stressful.

It was been like one of those weeks where everything that you do has gone wrong.

Every single thing I've done has gone wrong.

I stomped my toe.

I went to the toilet one time and I was like,

Why is it taking me so long to go to the toilet?

What's wrong with my digestion?

My digestion's normally so good.

At the moment it's not good.

That's because it's a terrible week.

It's been like one thing after another.

I want to escape.

Tucker,

Can you do your magic thing?

Tucker said that he had had a terrible week.

Oh,

Leo.

Leo was so sensitive and moody and quiet this week,

Leo said.

I just felt that way out.

Tucker said,

Oh,

I'm not saying anything,

Leo.

I mean,

If you feel your feelings,

Then you feel your feelings.

You're supposed to feel your feelings.

You're not supposed to try and suppress your feelings.

If you're having a quiet week,

Leo,

You have a quiet week.

But you know me,

I'm crazy.

And if I can't be crazy,

Then how am I supposed to release my crazy emotions?

I think it's a good idea.

Let's be human.

Tucker ran through the dog door,

Went onto the back garden,

Digged up his stone that was underneath the Buddha statue,

Cleared off all of the dirt and held it up to the moon.

Oh,

I hope you dare,

My angel.

I hope you dare,

My angel,

Because we really need you.

We're all stressed.

Tucker watched carefully as the stone started to absorb the light from the moon.

It was shining through the golden veins,

Shining through the opal white stone.

And then his angel appeared.

She was flapping her wings around,

Hovering in the sky,

Just like she normally does.

She smiled down at Tucker,

Gave him a little wink.

Ooh!

Said Tucker.

And then she said,

You get one wish.

Just one wish.

Tucker smiled.

Oh,

You know my name.

You know my wish.

You know my heart.

You know everything by now,

Angel.

I want to be human,

Along with all of my friends.

By the time Tucker had got back in the kitchen,

Everyone was sat around in their human bodies.

Tucker looked down.

He was wearing some faded jeans with holes on the knees.

He had his black converse on and a black t-shirt.

Yay!

He said.

He looked up.

Cherry was checking out her outfit.

OMG!

I swear,

I just get cuter and cuter as a human.

She was wearing a denim jacket,

A white t-shirt and some jeans.

Heidi was wearing plaid pyjamas.

She started laughing.

Oh,

Perfect.

I need to relax.

Vea had on the cutest dressing gown and slippers.

It was all pink and fluffy and her slippers matched perfectly and her slippers had little bunny ears on them.

She was wearing a spar headband and spar wristbands as if she was ready to do whatever she needed to do to let this week go.

Cherry said,

OMG!

How come you guys look so comfortable?

I'm gonna go get changed.

She had plans to put her pyjamas on as well.

Leo was wearing sweats and a white t-shirt.

Tucker said,

Vea said,

I think that would be perfect.

I have some ideas and I'm sure all of you can do a little bit of input,

A little bit of creation and decide what we can all do to feel so much better.

Tucker said,

My mum and dad have one on the back garden.

Come on everyone,

Let's go.

Everyone went outside.

Cherry caught up.

They all stood around looking at what looked like a giant barrel.

Cherry said,

Tucker said,

Cherry said,

Well,

It won't take long for us all to get our swims on or something and you're only in it for like a minute.

Because when you start you have to be kind of slow and you have to be careful that you don't go in for too long.

But mum and dad do it all the time and when I'm a dog I'm always like,

Can I lick it?

Can I lick it?

But now I'm a human,

I can actually do a nice plunge.

I'm gonna do it.

Let's do it everyone.

It took Tucker quite a lot of convincing,

Especially with Leo.

Leo said,

Oh no,

It's gonna give me a migraine.

Tucker said,

It's good for tummy aches.

It just makes you feel all round amazing.

But you know,

It's cold.

Leo said,

Tucker said,

Tucker finally convinced everyone to ice plunge.

He went first.

They had like a little stopwatch and they just timed each one of them to do it for a minute.

Tucker screamed the whole time like someone was cutting his foot off,

Which wasn't a good example for the rest of them to follow.

But he was laughing between the screaming.

It's so cold.

Oh gosh,

It's so cold.

He was shouting and laughing and shivering.

And then when he got out,

He wrapped himself in a towel and he did some jumping jacks and he felt amazing.

That was the best thing ever.

The best thing ever.

He kept saying.

Which convinced everyone to take a turn.

Vea went next.

Vea was quiet,

But so brave.

She never said a word.

She sat there and took deep breaths the whole time and just focused.

And then when a minute was up,

She got out,

Dried off,

Did some jumps,

Some bounces to get the blood circulation going back into her body and said,

Oh my,

I think I'd like to do that more often.

It was awesome.

Then Heidi had a turn.

Heidi's glasses got all wet.

She couldn't see a thing.

And it was so cold.

It made her mind go all crazy and upside down and topsy-turvy.

It was so cold.

She couldn't focus.

She didn't care about her glasses being all like messed up and wet and that she couldn't see anything.

She was just breathing really heavy,

Like trying so hard to be okay with the cold.

When she got out,

She felt as if she was blue and stiff.

She was so cold.

Oh,

That's definitely not for me,

She said.

Oh,

Come on,

Said Tucker.

You enjoyed it,

Right?

No,

Definitely not,

Said Heidi.

But I'm glad I did it.

Then it was Leo's turn.

Leo got in,

Stayed quiet,

Just like Vea.

Breathed,

Focused.

He looked so focused,

As if he was trying to fix a math problem.

He was so focused,

Focusing on his breath,

Focusing on breathing,

Focusing on being in the moment.

Then when he got out,

He dried off,

Jumped around a little bit,

And then said,

Yeah,

I could get used to that.

And then it was Cherry's turn.

OMG,

I'm so nervous,

I'm so nervous,

She kept saying before she even got in.

She dipped one of her feet in.

It's so cold!

Just do it,

Said Tucker.

Get in!

Plunge!

Cherry dived in.

Ooooooh!

Completely took her breath away.

OMG!

OMG!

OMG!

OMG!

She said,

For the full minute,

Over and over again.

OMG!

OMG!

OMG!

And then when it was time to get out,

She dived out,

As if someone had bit her bum.

She got out so fast.

Dried off.

And then she ran around,

Laughing and jumping.

Oh yeah,

I'd definitely do that again.

So cool!

So cool!

Heidi said,

Well,

I think that was a great idea,

Tucker.

But this is my idea.

Do you think your mum and dad would mind if we went in the sauna as well?

Oh no,

Said Tucker.

I mean,

Well,

They don't let me in as a dog because mum said I'd get dog hair everywhere and it'd be too hot.

But we could do it now.

The sauna warmed up quite quickly.

They got it as hot as it possibly could go.

Set it on the highest number.

And they all got in the sauna.

At first,

It was so nice because the contrast from the cold ice plunge to the warm sauna felt like a cosy blanket.

But then,

After a couple of minutes,

Once they'd warmed up,

Then they started to get hot.

And why are we doing this?

Said Tucker.

Heidi said,

Oh,

I've done a lot of research on saunas.

Apparently,

They're supposed to add years to your life.

They're really good for you.

They're good for your heart.

They help you to heal.

They're good for muscle recovery.

They are just so relaxing and calming.

They also detox the body.

Detox the body?

I'm not in this body enough for it to need detoxing.

I mean,

What does that mean?

Does it mean like putting me through the washing machine?

Heidi said,

No,

It means you just release all of your toxins through your skin while you sweat.

And that's really good for you.

We're gonna sweat?

Four minutes later,

Four minutes later,

Cherry had sweat dripping off her nose.

Okay.

Yep.

OMG.

I'm sweating.

It's so hot in here.

Heidi said,

That's the whole point.

Leo said,

I feel a bit claustrophobic.

I don't think I like it.

Heidi said,

Just try and breathe nice and slow,

Leo.

You're not gonna be in here for very long,

So it'll be okay.

It has benefits.

Think of what you're doing to your body.

Think of how good it is for you.

Leo started to take some nice,

Long,

Slow,

Deep breaths so that he could cope with feeling uncomfortable.

Because when you're uncomfortable and you breathe nice and slow and deep,

It can get you through lots of things.

You can be uncomfortable in a situation,

Physically uncomfortable like Leo was,

Mentally uncomfortable.

Long,

Slow,

Deep breaths can help with so many things.

Vea was great with the sauna.

Tucker loved the sauna.

I wish I could be in here all the time,

He said.

And then when the sauna was finished,

They all showered off,

They all put their pyjamas on,

And Vea announced that it was time for facials.

I have all of my stuff with me.

And I think it's very important that we take care of our skin because we don't want to get blemishes when we get a bit older.

And,

You know,

Hormones and just being alive,

Dirty faces,

Running,

Sweating,

Playing,

Not having a shower regularly enough,

You know,

All of those things,

Tucker.

What?

Said Tucker.

I shower.

Yeah,

I know.

I'm just saying it's important that we take care of our skin and we don't want to get spots,

Especially going into teenage years.

So this is what we have to do.

We have to keep our skin nice and clean and we have to be consistent with it,

Especially you boys.

It's just as important for boys to do this as it is for girls to do this because at the end of the day,

Yes,

We have different hormones,

But we have the same skin,

Right?

It needs to be cleaned.

It needs to be taken care of.

So here is a cleanser,

A toner and a moisturizer.

And I'm going to show you how to do a facial for yourself and you can all copy me.

And it feels so nice.

Everyone lined up in the mirror in the bathroom.

They all squeezed in because there wasn't that much space.

Veya made everyone put a headband on and wristbands.

First thing you need to do is just wash your face with cold water.

Just rinse your face with cold water,

Please,

Everyone.

Everyone rinsed their face with cold water.

Ooh,

Said Tucker.

That feels really nice after that hot sauna and everything.

They passed the towel along the line They passed the towel along the line and everyone dried their face.

Okay,

So now it's cleansing time.

This is a milk cleanser.

It's very gentle on the skin.

And what you need to do is get one of those cotton pads.

You need to put some cleanser on the cotton pad and then rub it all over your face,

Just nice and gently,

Just like me.

Everyone copied Veya.

Right,

Now,

If by any chance you're wearing any kind of lip gloss or maybe some clear mascara or whatever,

Then you have to focus on that too.

So clean your lips and just wipe it gently over your eyelashes.

Everyone did that.

Even if they weren't wearing any makeup,

They still did it.

Right,

Now,

This is where the toner comes into play.

This is where the toner comes into it.

You get another cotton pad and you put your toner on the cotton pad and you wipe off all of the cleanser with the toner.

And then we let the toner dry,

Just like this.

Veya started to wave her hands in front of her face to dry off the toner quicker and everyone copied.

Leo said,

We look really funny right now.

They were all waving their hands around like chickens in front of their face and everyone giggled.

Now,

Finally,

You need your moisturiser.

It's so important to moisturise,

Guys.

Even when you're young,

Start young so that when you get older,

Your skin is nice and firm and youthful looking.

So we moisturise because we want to moisturise against the elements in the world.

Because sometimes it's cold,

Sometimes it's windy,

Sometimes it's very hot and that dries out your skin.

We have to take care of our skin when we're in our human bodies.

So,

Here you go.

She passed everyone the moisturiser.

They all got about a dime's worth on their palm,

Rubbed their palms together and then gently patted it all over their faces and their necks.

I really like this,

Said Tucker.

It smells delicious.

Tucker,

I think,

Was getting flashbacks of when he's a dog and he eats everything.

He didn't eat the face cream but he really liked the smell of it.

All done!

Faye bowed in the mirror as if to say,

There you go,

You're welcome and everyone agreed that a facial routine felt very,

Very nice.

Cherry announced that she had noticed a few things.

Right,

Well,

I mean,

Don't take this personal or anything but I've noticed,

Right,

That some of us,

Including myself,

That when we're human our eyebrows are very bushy and I mean,

I know that bushy eyebrows are in fashion sometimes so we're not going to go crazy because let's go like this for a little bit but not too much,

Right,

Just the odd here and there and everywhere,

We're going to pull out some eyebrows.

Leo said,

Oh no you're not,

No,

You're not touching my eyebrows.

Tucker said,

Oh,

I'm up,

I'm open for that.

Tucker laid down and Cherry used him as the model to show everyone how to pull out eyebrows.

Cherry said,
