i spent yesterday afternoon at my favourite spa.

yum.

i don’t go for the manicures and facials, i go for the aromatherapy steam bath and hot rock cold polar stone massage which is like a massage that works right down to the core of who i am, gently bringing my whole being into a state of perfect bliss.

and then after that i was brought into this perfect nap room. really it’s like taking a nap in a cloud. after a delicious snack i went back into the steam room (that’s the room in the photo). all of the tiles are heated, it’s like being wrapped in warmth as the room fills with the most amazingly scented steam.

yum.

everyone there was so friendly and sweet.  i mean of course the staff were, they are there to pamper.  but the other spa guests too were so amazing.  i have the best conversations in spas, everyone is kind of floating in bliss, worries and troubles are left at the door and we are all free to do nothing but relax and enjoy.  conversations become light and there is a lot of giggling about how fantastic this all is.

i booked another appointment for 2 weeks from now.  at this time of year when everything is so busy, chill-out appointments are very important!

enjoy the last of your holiday prep and remember to take whatever time you can today to relax.  i am finding holiday traffic jams a perfect opportunity to relax – i take a few deep breaths, repeat some affirmations to myself and feel refreshed when traffic starts moving again.

I can imagine and how warm and cozy it was there. Plus the view of the tiles is beautiful. If I were you I would visit there often, even if it were just for the view.

That sounds wonderful! Not only are you being pampered, but being in a steam room is good for your health as well. It makes your skin healthier, helps to relax sore muscles, and can help clear up your respiratory system, among other things. I bet you felt wonderful when yo were done. :)
