"Ra Ra Avis"

Last week Thursday I had the best day in my life so far. Have you ever experienced true pampering? I mean really pampering and not the thing you do to yourself but the one where someone else does it for you and to you? Well I have and I realized the true meaning of the word "pampering". Myself and a friend of mine, Bronny, were booked into a spa for half a day by our husbands. We had no idea of this up until the morning of our departure, we were told to be ready to leave home by 10am and that our appointment would be at 12pm. Puzzled by all the secrecy we wondered where would they want us to go if we were to travel for almost TWO HOURS!! Nevertheless we didn't hesitate to go.
Upon our arrival we were asked to undress and to wear gowns and slippers and then move over to dinning room to have a warm welcoming cup of filter coffee. By this time we figured out where we were but we were still kinda unaware of what exactly we'll be doing and off course for how long. After we finished our coffee we were led to a candle lit room with two benches almost like beds with soft serene music playing in the back round and a alluring smell of herbs and oils. We were then given each a "Indian head massage" and what a massage! you actually feel the sensation right down to your feet and all the way down your spine. That lasted about for about 15-20mins...too short if you ask me. Then we sat down for a lovely lite lunch.

We were then ushered into another room with another bed but this time with a tent like object that covered your entire body with just your head open, this treatment was called "steam therapy". A very light steam that blows through the tube with your body in it, its meant to detoxify your body, open up pores and assist your metabolism. I found it to be very soothing.

Oh!! then my personal favourite, "Flotation therapy" this was absolutely amazing!!! Its basically a little pool or a big bath tub filled with warm water. The water that they use in this bath is like the water in the dead sea, it makes you float all the time. The water off course also contains different minerals which penetrate your skin making it super soft and clean. this was loads of fun and laughter, thoroughly enjoyed that!! We then finished off with facials and pedicures which were totally out of this world, I actually feel asleep during my pedicure and was even snoring lighty. I felt like brand new person when I stepped out of that place. I would definitely recommend this to all the ladies out there(the men too) Thank you guys!!!

Hi, it certainly was well deserved. My intention was to show appreciation for what you have meant, are meaning to me and know what you will be meaning to me. My wish is to do as much as I can to make your life more comfortable, interesting and enjoyable. I love you!

I have only had a spa pedicure but a spa day sounds absolutely wonderful. Your husbands sound great and I bet they scored some brownie points that day!
