spa day

So it's been a little while since I've posted cause I've been recovering from being sick and then once I was just barely well enough to go back to work I've been working most nights since.

May 15th, friends, Pati and Steph, and I went to Glen Ivy in Corona for a spa day to celebrate my birthday. It was absolutely A-MAZ-ING! It was everything a girl could ask for...beautiful scenery, great company, relaxing warm pools, spas, baths, pampering galore, yummy food, and overall the most relaxing day with no agenda what-so-ever!

We got there around 10:30 am, checked in, got our things put away in the lockers, went to the hot springs mineral baths,

Mineral Baths

after relaxing there awhile headed to fill our bellies with yummy healthy spa food,

The Cafe

then to the mud baths where we slathered ourselves in red mud, let it dry on our skin while we sat in a warm room and then once it was dry washed it off and we were left with the softest skin.

Behind the gated area is a muddy warm bath with a pile of mud on a pedestal to slather on your body!

From there we headed to "The Grotto" which we were taken underground to these "caves", we were painted with a mixture of aloe, Shea butter, and coconut oil. After letting it soak in we washed it off and then went and sat in a tranquil room drinking tea. In the afternoon we laid out in the lounge pool, drank pina coladas, I got a massage, and had an afternoon snack before heading home.

The Lounge Pool... just 1-2 feet deep and warm!

At the end of the day I didn't think there was any way I could have been more relaxed...my body felt like jello, it was great! I compare Glen Ivy Spa to an adult water park...and I recommend you get there fast for some well deserved relaxation...I cannot wait to go again!
