Oh how I love the spa! Randy spoiled me for our Anniversary this year and got me a Gif Card to The Mirage Spa for a day of pampering. You get shown to the changing room area and given a comfortable robe and sandals for your visit and a locker for your personal things. I started out with a Pedicure. They have the best chairs there. It included all the normal things that a pedicure does plus a leg exfoliation and a paraffin wax treatment. It took an hour and a half and was amazing…my toes look pretty good too!
Then I spent some time in the ‘Sanctuary’ and had lunch and some cucumber water. It was nice to just relax. I ran into a lady that had worked for me this spring for about 5 minutes before she quit so that was a little awkward but I just went along with it and was polite. After lunch and a bit of a break I went for my nails. I decided to upgrade the manicure to gel nails because I don’t really have any nails to manicure anyhow. I was a gel nail virgin and didn’t know anything about it but my Aesthetician Stephanie walked me through the whole thing. I’m not entirely sure I like the nails…they kind of look like chicklets to me…She said that since I don’t have much for natural nails that they will look a bit bulky…yeah, not liking it so much.
After my nails I got to take a small break again in the sanctuary before Tammy came to get me for my facial. Now I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned it on here or not but I LOVE a good facial! One of my favourite spa treatments. We discussed my skin and issues and a what treatment she would be doing. I decided to upgrade my facial to a collagen treatment one as she told me it would help with hydration and evening out skin tone. So for the next almost 2 hours I had the most AMAZING facial I’ve ever had. I hardly knew she was there and even dozed off at one point I was so amazingly relaxed. It included a seaweed back treatment and a hand massage as well…I left feeling like I had a new face and was so relaxed I felt like butter.
I have an appointment next Friday to get my hair done; cut, color, highlights. I found my hairdresser there that I had for the last 3 years. She had left the salon I go to about 6 months ago and no one would tell me where she went. I stumbled upon here there while booking my spa services. I almost screamed like a little girl I was so excited! I’ve got my Meghan back again! We talked today about the color and cut we are doing next week and I can’t wait to get it done. I haven’t had a decent cut since I last saw her.
Overall my experience today was a great one. I feel so relaxed and re-energized and grateful to Randy for having the experience. I’m planning on booking him a couple of things in the not so distant future as he could use a relaxing day as well. I know that I will be taking advantage of some of their specials for myself too! I wish I could go more often, darn that budget!
