Pure Bliss

Pure bliss. That was my day today. Simple and pure bliss.


I was a little early for appointment, but they showed me around and I got my spa slippers and bathrobe. (Warm, might I add!) Then I lounged around until it was my turn.


John booked me for a Swedish massage. Since I know nothing about these things, I don't know how it differs from an ordinary massage, but it was...here's my word again...bliss. The lights were low, the music softly playing in the background.
She even massaged my earlobes. I had no idea they did that! Oh, and my scalp! And my toes. Oh, and when she was done with my hands she put these warm beanbag type things on them! Ah. No seriously. Bliss. That was the fastest hour of my life. And I loved every nano second of it.


After that it was time for my Tropical pedicure. I picked a pink color for my toes because I usually always go with red, so I thought I'd be different. Again. Pure bliss. My feet were rubbed and soaked and then she used this salt scrub on them. Ahhh. It was amazing. Then I had to sit with a dryer on my feet and just relax.


Once all that was done it was time for the whirlpool, steam room, and sauna. I went to the sauna first. There I sat for 5 minutes before I decided was I just a little bored and mainly hot. So, I went next door to the steam room. There I sat for another 5 minutes. Then I decided I was a little more bored and hot and now damp. So off to the whirlpool I went. There were 3 to choose from. I felt like Goldilocks. The first was too cold. The second was mostly lukewarm. The third, however, was nice and hot. I turned the jets on and sat for 45 minutes. Again...bliss.


Then I decided to hit the shower. They provide everything for you- shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, deordorant- everything.
The shower I was in had 12 shower heads. I spent 20 minutes just playing with them. Adjusting the temp on each one and the position.
Say it with me...bliss.
The shampoo was amazing. Smelled just amazing and left my hair very soft and shiney.

After the longest shower I've had in over a year I'm sure, I got out and applied all the pretty smelling stuff they had. Then I dried my hair and finally had to take off my beloved robe. It was time to go home.

They got a kick out of me the entire time I was there. They knew it was my first time and how excited I was. They were all just fabulous. I loved it and would like to just move in there.


I got home and the kids were napping. When they woke up they ate their veggie and then had their bottle. I decided to go out and grab some dinner for us and rent a few movies. By the time I got back (went to two different places for dinner- I wanted a burrito and John wanted a sub) it was time for their evening cat nap. I seriously only spent about 45 minutes with the kids for the entire day.

Bliss.

(Not because I don't love being with them, but the break was much needed.)


I am loving this Mother's Day business!!
