A Day at the Spa!

It's my favorite time of the year!  Spa Week!  It's a chance to take a moment to get pampered.  I try to make it to the spa at least once a season for rejuvination.  However, between caring for a baby, working full time, and taking classes, pampering has taken a back seat.  So, I made a promise to myself this week to make a spa escape.

When I was offered a chance to review Elizabeth Arden's Red Door Spa, I couldn't pass it up.  I was in heaven from the moment I pulled into the Bellmore, Long Island location.

My expectations were met before I even began my service.  The staff was friendly.  They immediately greeted and informed me about the various services offered.  I was in awe by the size and ambiance of this spa.  I was given a tour and was pleasantly surprised.  The waiting area had a beautiful fireplace which totally put me at ease.

In addition to the message and manicure rooms, there's also a top notch hair salon.  Those were just some of the highlights.

For me, the real highlight was the service I had done.  They recommended the Spa Week Stress Melter which was designed to increase blood circulation and restore the flow of energy back into the body.

It began with a deep exfoliation, followed by an aromatherapy body wrap and scalp message.  I immediately felt stress relief from my scalp down to my toes.  It was amazing!  I was well overdue for some pampering, and this spa visit was just what I needed.

Whether you're a stay at home or career mom, it's so important to take time out for yourself.  I love my baby girl with all my heart.  But there are times when I feel like I'm gonna lose my mind.  That's why I take moments like this to get away.  I encourage all you moms to do the same!

It's not too late!  Spa week is just getting started!  Red Door Spa is just one of the many participating venues that's offering services at discount prices.  Here's some more info on Spa Week.
