Spa Day Superb!

Happy Birthday Amanda!

In honor of my sister's birthday (well, and the fact that I finished my candidacy and was taking a day off), I went to the spa to relax. In fact, this spa day was a birthday gift from Garrett to me, that I had saved just for this occasion.

So, I went to the spa and was treated to a chocolate bath and chocolate pedicure.

I wasn't sure what to expect for the chocolate bath - would I be in melted chocolate? Would it just be chocolate-flavoured bubble bath? Would I get to eat chocolate?

Turns out I wasn't in melted chocolate, nor did I get to eat chocolate, however there were chocolate-flavoured bubble bath and oils in the 'super-duper' bath tub. The room that the tub was in was dark and soothing, with rocks and candles and plants. The bath tub was this special relaxation, healing tub. In either end, there was magnetic therapy, which is supposed to help align you (your iron?) as your relax. In the sides of the tub were a multitude of little lights which could be yellow, blue, green or red, depending on whether you wanted to feel energized or relaxed. These lights flashed sometimes with the gentle relaxing music that played in the room. The side of the tub that you leaned against vibrated with the music to relax your back as you sat there. The water temperature and volume could be controlled with a dial. Overall, a super-duper bath tub!

After the bath, I was taken to the pedicure room where the girl performed a chocolate-y, delicious and luxurious pedicure on my little tootsies. It was fantastic and relaxing. I love pedicures.

It was a great day, and I hope my sister had as great a day as I did for her birthday! The day would only have been better if we could have had pedicures together.
