Last year I got my favorite Mother’s day gift from my family: a spa gift card for a quality time in a luxurious Day Spa and Sauna Resort in New Jersey. And because I didn’t want to go there alone, Kati generously volunteered to join me. Of course I asked first my loving husband, but unfortunately he doesn’t like spas, yet. That is something I have to work on in future.
Then one rainy day we headed towards our spa destination. The place had all different kinds of saunas and facilities: Russian dry sauna, Russian wet sauna, Turkish sauna, Aromatherapy sauna, Jacuzzis, swimming pools and Ice cold bath tubs. There was also a wide menu of beauty treatments to choose from.
We decided to take a treatment package called Girls Night Out. With an exfoliate facial and a full body scrub, it sounded just what we needed. I also noticed that there were some side by side couple treatments available. Getting my husband there could work someday, but Two Bodies One Soul in Tranquility did sound slightly unrealistic.
Kati and I started with a facial. It was relaxing and gentle. After the treatment we admired each other’s glowing cheeks and were absolutely sure that we looked younger. We ordered fresh and tasty smoothies from the bar while we waited for our body scrub. And it was really worth the wait! This rough and almost primitive treatment was not meant for sensitive or shy people. But afterwards we felt so good!
Our spa adventure in New Jersey surprisingly proved that you can get hooked on sauna, but you are also able to get hooked on a body scrub. And to celebrate Mother’s day, we are already planning a new exciting body scrub trip.
We would like to wish a tranquil Mother’s day to all mothers!
