As I am writing this I am sitting in the lap of luxury. Tranquil music is playing in the background while the scents of aromatherapy fill the air. A small pool is in front of me and the whole room is lit entirely by candlelight. Fresh fruit is sitting on an end table while assorted teas and water is across from it. The call this the quiet room. A place at the spa where one can go to escape and find serenity.
I arrived early and enjoyed a dip in the waterfall hot tub. Sitting under the rocks I allowed the hot water to trickle down my back, releasing all of my tension. The sun was just ascending into the sky and there was just a hint of snow on the balcony to cause a glittery reflection. The birds started chirping which evoke more bodies out of bed so I climbed out of the water to dry off for the best part of the day.
Wrapping myself in a plush robe, I walked down the hall into a room that offered all five of my senses a warm welcome. Relaxing music played in the background while I was offered a choice of scented oils for my massage. Inhaling each delicate fragrance, I decided to go with “Sun”. A blend of vanilla, blood orange, grapefruit and amber. In essence it smelled like a mixture of vanilla and baby powder…two of my favorite scents! My eyes set their gaze upon the
fireplace in the room while I sipped a glass of cucumber water. (It was delicious) Snuggling in under the warm blankets, my body began to relax as the masseuse unlocked all of my tension. It was one hundred minutes of pure bliss.

My very relaxed body sauntered back into the locker room after I was finished to hit the sauna and take a steam bath. I’m not exactly sure what was in the bath but all I can say is that it smelled like Vicks Vapo Rub was being circulated into the air. Anyways, I came out of it breathing quite well! Now I would have been just as happy to come up here and hang out in the locker room all day. It was breathtaking. Every amenity you could want was available. My gym locker room definatly fails in comparison!
When it was time to face reality again, I returned home with a clear head ready for creativity, a rejuvenated body ready to tackle all of next month’s goals, and my patience restored just in time to head back to work. It was the perfect ending to my mid winter break !
