Today I used Mr. Red's xmas present - spa day. But not just any old spa. A women's only spa. Had myself a body wrap. There is nothing like being painted with mud, then wrapped like a mummy to sit for 45+ minutes while you sweat. This was after 15 minutes in the hot tub, and a half hour in the salt room. Which is pretty much a big warm room, to get you started.
All of this is either naked or robed depending on where you are.
After the wrap I got what I think is my favorite massage. She went for the knots and man she was good. If she wasn't in Tacoma I'd go to her more often. She not only is great with massage her energy is great too. It reminded me that massage therapists tend to be into energy work. I left the massage completely relaxed and energized. It also reminded me I need to get my self into yoga/pilates since I have some serious stretching I need to do.
Well after the massage I then went back to the salt room for another 15 minutes, then a half hour in the hot tub. Which was capped off by a body scrub and moisturizer. It's very odd to have this tiny little asian woman rubbing you down with scrubbies. And she went to town. My skin is super soft.
The best part about this whole thing - no body issues. There were tiny little old koreans, older, younger mix of women of all shapes and sizes hanging out and enjoying the space. Just hanging out naked or in robes. I really was at ease. All in all not a bad way to spend 5+ hours.
