Who ever thought that one could actually enjoy someone else packing mud onto their bare skin? Or being wrapped
up in saran wrap and buried under heavy blankets? Obviously if these were done with the worst of intentions, you'd want no
part of it.
But somehow, adding fluorescent lights and a beautiful hardwood floor with a nicely designed walls
adds a certain appeal to it.
Personally, I've never been really interested in these types of treatments.
I did go once to try out the various services one salon had to offer but for $200, it wasn't really worth
it. I think I'd have a better time sitting in a sandbox in the rain. It would be free and the sand there would do about as
much to my skin as any salon sand would do. I don't care if it WAS specially imported from Egypt.
Some people get involved in all the hype about how spas can help you lose weight with those saran wrap covers
and heavy blankets. It's a very convenient marketing trick they use to get you to cough up $200. They know the body can lose
water weight fairly quickly, so they cover you up and bury you in blankets (well, they might use the phrase "nestle
you in blankets and surround you in warmth" but its the same thing) and they report that you have magically lost however many
inches and you go away a happyy customer, not knowing that you will gain back those inches later in the day anyway.
Spas should be researched very carefully to see what kinds of actual beneficial treatments they offer. Having
a good massage now and then is always a plus for me. But getting a facial or a seaweed body treatment is just a waste of time
and money. It's far better if you keep yourself living a healthy lifestyle. It may be harder, but it's worth it in the end.
Just imagine what you could do with all the money you save on spa costs!
