Happy Spa Night

Relax, refresh, recharge. Those are the words of Anika & Co., and I thought that was just the phrase for my Mom and my spa day. This week we are staying in one place for the whole time. So my Mom and I decided to have a spa night. We had facials, massage, reflexology, and pedicures.

At first, we had our facials. They put some lotion on our faces, and we had “luxurious, relaxing and nicely satisfying experiences.” We were right next to the ocean, and we could hear it while enjoying our experiences. It just made it that much better. The hour that we spent in the spa room flashed by and in the end my Mom said that it was the best facial that she had ever had. It was my first facial, so I can’t compare. Being in Indonesia, I think it was worth its pricing.

Next I had a massage. I had been wanting one for about a week because my body was so cramped up. They did it from my toes to my scalp, and my body lost a lot of its tension. My mom got reflexology that day and did not enjoy it as much as the facial. I loved mine just as much but thought the quality was not as good. We figured that the person on the first day must have just been more experienced than the other one. I still loved my massage.

My decision was to get a pedicure. There was a tray of colored toenail polish to choose from —all of the colors of the rainbow were there and many more. I chose deep purple and sky blue. The woman from the day before did my pedicure. She was especially good at doing nails. She first gave me a foot bath in soothing water. Then she used a callus grater to make the bottom of my feet nice and smooth. I got to lay down on a bed and she cut, filed and shaped my nails. Then for the polish. The purple started on my big toes, then it skipped to blue and then back. She let them dry and then added a flower to each big toe. She added a shine coat and we let that dry, and I have beautiful nails now, and a great experience to remember.

After a facial, massage, and pedicure, I truly feel like the luckiest girl in the world. After all, sometimes you just have to Keep Calm And Spa On.

Happy Spa Night!
