Yesterday was the ‘Big Day’ for me to splurge on my 40th birthday spa treatment from my Dearest Bobby.
My appointment started at 9:30 a.m. where I was taken to the ladies locker room to change into a nice cozy robe and slippers.
The ladies room
After changing I made my way to the relaxation room ‘til I was called for my massage. The pic above was taken in that room where there was a nice pitcher of lemon water and trail mix. It was a calm and peaceful room with very low lighting. And the very soft sounds of birds, rippling water and music was overpowering and deep such that I felt contact with my inner self. The atmosphere set the stage for a day of complete relaxation.
I started off with a massage that took me into another world. It was amazing, don’t know how else to say it! Right after my massage I went in for my facial and that was another total out of this world experience!
After my massage and facial I moved along to the sauna/shower! I set the temp for a steamy 108 degrees and enjoyed every min!
Then I moved along for my pedicure and picked pink this time.
After all my pampering, I had a very late lunch and I sat at that middle table as seen in the picture above.
The picture above and below represent the beautiful view from where I was sitting.
I had the homemade vegetable soup to start
And the Filet of Sole with veggies for my entrée which I might add was quite good!

What a perfect ending for this day. After leaving lunch at 2:30 p.m., I’ll say I had the most wonderful relaxing 5 hours. Thank you My Love for this wonderful gift but most importantly, I’m so thankful for you making each day special.
Awesome! Sounds like a perfect day!!! Good way to string out your b-day too! 🙂
Could you throw a few hints my husbands way near April of next year. The spa treatment must have been bliss. The scenery in that area looks very much like England. What state do you live in?
Thanks Rochelle and Anita. I live in upstate NY and I absolutely love it here. As for the ‘hint’ to your hubby, why don’t you just come visit my blog again when your hubby is around and casually mention it to him with a twinkle in your eye.
That place looks amazing! Happy Birthday! What a way to celebrate! I will have to remember this! 🙂
HAPPY BIRHDAY!!! Welcome to 40 … it’s not so bad! ha
Glad you got a great day at the spa.
I can’t wait to go over there! I am way overdue to celebrate my weight loss!
Thanks Jen, Beth and Jen
Hey – we had the same kind of day…except I had the much shorter version. “-) But it was SO wonderful.
I had a gift certificate from the hubby and kiddos from Mother’s Day and enjoyed a 60 min. massage…I think it was the best one I have ever had. I will definitely be remembering her name…Sherri.
From your description from the beginning up to the part about the facial it sounded almost word for word like an hour and a half from my day yesterday…and the pictures looked a lot like where I was! Well, until the scenery that is…ha!
Sounds like a perfect way to celebrate turning 40, six weeks from today the same thing will happen to me and I don’t mind a bit. You are only as young, or old, as you feel is very much my philosphy and I feel more like 30!!
So happy you enjoyed your experience too Mary Ellen!
I made a mental note of my gal too as I believe it was my absolute favorite massage ever! Man she was good!
Well, if I’m only as young as I feel, I think I’m quite a youngster as my massage must have taken many years off, boy do I feel good!
