Here the basis of our Este is "set good rules = healthy lifestyle." Your best body will not be born of an unhealthy lifestlye. Following a well balanced lifestyle is the first priority of an esthetician. Q2. Is it ok to call the boyfriend early on the day of the date? A. Yes, if Kitty is in her best condition, you can call him on the day of the date. It is also ok to keep working on Kitty's figure until the last minute of the 7th day, but try your best not to get Time Over. Q3. How can I be a good estetician? A. Check the checkmeter often as it will tell you a lot of things. Give her whatever care she needs. The Metcha Diary offers good insight too, so be sure to read it! Requests from Kitty's dad *When kitty gets nervous, please play some games with her. *When she becomes sick, treat her (press the Enter button) and immediately afterwards give her rest. Until she gets better, she will take a break from Este. *Even if you are busy, please look after her once every day. If you don't...well... things won't look good...
