Personal Day

Today I went to the Elmwood Spa for Spa Week for a day of R-E-L-A-X-A-T-I-O-N!!!! Treatments During Spa Week (April 12 to 18) were just $50.

I had the Lime-Coconut Body Scrub with Relaxation Massage and I added on the ElmLine Essential Facial only $75 (Regular $98) and a 3-Course Lunch (Appetizer, Main, Dessert) in the Terrace for only $28.

My morning started with water therapies (steam and whirlpool) followed by the lime-coconut body scrub and massage and facial. My body was so smooth after the body scrub. Too bad I could not smell it. I was a bit stuffy because of my allergies. I have not had a facial in many years. I did not have a pleasant experience the last time. Today there were moments of pain, but when I looked in the mirror afterwards I looked amazing. I may try it again.

There was a moment of immaturity on my part. I was given a pair of disposable underwear before the lime-coconut body scrub and massage. I had never worn one before. I could not stop laughing (to myself of course).

This was not my first visit to the Elmwood Spa, but it was the first time that I had a meal in the Terrace Restaurant. The meal was great and relaxing. I had my book The Book of Negroes by Lawrence Hill and a glass of wine. It could not get any better.

Spa Day



My sister told me to read the post on her blog Tha Ish about her first facial.  I have only had one my facial in my lifetime. It was about 9 years ago. It was not the most pleasant experience. I live for massages. 

After hearing and reading about my sisters experience, I think that I would consider having a facial again. I love to be pampered, so I will make a day of it at the spa. I can't think of a better way to spend a day.
