Spa AAAHHHHHHHHH

I can't get away for vacation right now, but I really needed to do something-so I booked a package at a Spa-and it was heaven.....facial, body wrap, light snack and massage.  I made a conscious decision to check all worries at the door, and when I came out a few hours later, I could really feel what a difference it made in my mind, body and spirit.

I know there are a lot of people on this list who take care of other people-and I just wanted to remind you all to remember to do something for yourself every now and then.  It would be a great reward for reaching a short or long term goal-no calories, but still has to do with the body. 

That is awesome Debra... What spa did you go to??

I went to Elan Spa on May Avenue.  It's not very big, but I kind of like that.  Bigger spas mean more tired and jaded people trying to unwind.

Last year I went to the Cooper Clinic in Dallas-they have a hotel on the property that has fairly decent rates.  The problem is-it's kind of a mind twister.  You are surrounded by all this health (and lots of wealth too-but not snotty at all) and three blocks away is one of the best cakes and best deli's in the entire free world.  I had just had a fill, so I skipped the cake but I did eat some borscht at the deli, and I used ALL the sour cream.....and then I went shopping.  

I figured out that I could go more often for less money if I stick close to home, avoid the kennel fees AND the cake.  Honestly who puts a SPA right next to the best bakery on earth-that's just mean. 

Cake and spa...what a concept!

I have not been to a spa yet... It is something I am looking foward to once I get skinnier!

Don't wait to get skinny-it's not a "look at me kind of place", it's a feel good about yourself kind of place.

Maybe I will treat myself for my birthday in a few months.

I love the Spaaaa.  Even if you don't do anything else but get a massage it is worth it.  I haven't been in quite a while but I have been thinking about it.  I get my husband a gift certificate for a massage at the spa for his birthday every year and he loves it.  My daughter and I are trying to talk him into getting a pedicure (minus toe nail polish of course) he would love it.  Lisa
