When I was a child I never heard of a "Spa" or a "Beauty Treatment" or a "Pamper Yourself Day". My hardworking mother would never have participated in such a hedonistic bunch of expensive nonsense! And I followed that same rut, head down and nose to the grindstone, until, my daughter opened a door to a new way of life for me. I was visiting her in Salt Lake City, UT, and her husband treated us to a spa day. She jumped at the offer, and drug me reluctantly along. We arrived at a resort about noon. The Valet took our car. We were ushered into the spa like movie stars. First step: change out of our ordinary clothes and don lovely robes, soft and cuddly. Second step: Pedicures. People messing with my toes!! Ugh. Third step: Steam room, in a towel, sweating like a horse and red as a beet. Other people were present. I think there may have been a man present too. Fourth step: Resting in the lounge, watching the waterfall and drinking iced fruit water. Fifth step: Massage. deep muscle work, unkinking knots that had been there for decades. Occasionally I may have yelled! Sixth step: Shower and dress. Then a snack and a glass of wine in the lounge. I want to go back!!! When the spas open back up, I am hunting for the best mid-week deal and a "Queen for a Day" spa day. Can't wait!! Heat up the sauna--I'm coming! --Donna
