This morning was a ME morning! It was absolutely divine! Peityn has a horrible cough so she was home, bummer but I think she also needed a mental health day....we all do every once and a while.
So, I took the boys to school this morning and drove as fast as I could to my spot......SOLIMAR Spa! Ahhhh it was lovely! The minute you walk into the door there is this immense feeling of peace and tranquility that comes over you. The music, the smell, the atmosphere.....it's perfect. I have been blessed with being able to visit some amazing spas in different parts of the US and other country's and although this doesn't hold a candle to those, it is a quaint little spa close to home.
I am obsessed with the amazing warm neck wraps that they give you along with the oh so comfy robe to lounge in by the fire place while you sip your cucumber water or hot tea and wait for your appointment. I cozied up in my goods and headed to the waiting lounge....."Jessica" a soft voice says... " are you ready for your massage?" "Of course" I replied and literally almost ran the poor tiny girl over. It never fails to amaze me though.....this girl was all of maybe 5' 2" and 110 pounds soaking wet. How in gods green earth were her little hands gonna work out the crazy ass knots goin on in my neck, back and shoulders? Well, she did! Amanda did a fantastic job and I will definitely request her the next time. After my 60 minutes of paradise, Amanda showed me back to the lounge with a fresh neck wrap and cup of mint green tea to wait for my next appointment. Mackenzie greeted me with a warm hello and I was off to the next escape.....my facial. Again, AMAZING! As Mackenzie was doing her magic on my face, I of course was letting my mind wonder.....I actually thought about how I was going to write my experience in my blog this evening. As I processed the experience through my head, I thought.....Hmmmm, I can't write this! It will sound silly for me to put this into words......but ya know what, I don't care! HA!
This girl has MAGICAL fingers....not kidding! She was doing some crazy stuff to my face and it almost seemed like it was not normal ( in a good way ). Her fingers were moving in a rhythm like fashion over my cheek bones, around my eye lids and bridge of my nose.....there was this crazy eight thing that she did and it was just plain great! Only down side of it all was when she put the "blue light" on my face and warned me that there was beginning signs of sun damage.....DUHHHH I had just been to the electric beach the night before! :) Oh well.....i only do it once a year when I am goin on a trip.....although I took it into consideration, nothing was gonna bring me down at this point! After my appointment with her was finished, I decided to spend some more time with my best friend, the neck warmer and another cup of tea. I took a few deep breaths and enjoyed every minute of the peace......
The morning adventure had come to an end. I paid my bill.....and with a smile on my face because it was worth every, single, penny.... took one last deep breath of that earthy, friendly, calming smell and walked out the door.
I will say, I was totally and completely relaxed and nothing was going to take that away from me today. However, walking out of that spa into the "real world" is NOT a fun dose of reality.....
I think I will go back in 2 weeks, my birthday is coming up soon and what better way to spend the day?
Ahhhhh.....
God Bless & Warm Regards,
~Jessica
