Butterfly Garden Spa-#FullBodySpa

Question: How can a gift certificate, given to me by my daughter for Christmas, make my day?

Answer: By giving me a spa experience I could never have imagined.

When I opened this gift, I thought I was going to get a facial, and maybe a massage.  Shoot, if I was really lucky I would get both.

When we made the appointment to use the certificate my daughter told me to keep 3 hours of my time free. Why three hours?  A facial and/or a massage is around one hour and half of lost time but three hours of lost time…this did not compute.

Once we arrived, at Butterfly Garden Spa, I realized why this would be a three hour event.

As we prepared to begin my spa experience we were told to remove all clothing.  What?  I was not happy about that but to experience the whole Butterfly Garden Spa it was necessary to just wear your birthday suit.  Once I conceded to this embarrassing moment we were given a  Butterfly Garden Spa robe and escorted to the sauna.  The sauna area was steamy, dreamy!  So steamy, I could not  see my daughter sitting across from me…After the sauna we entered  the Jacuzzi room.  The  room was private,  no one but myself relaxing in the warm, swirling, whirling water.  So relaxing was this Jacuzzi  I didn’t  want to get out.  As soon as our tub moment was over we followed, without protest, a staff member of the spa to another room.  Here we were told to lay down on a table.  Thank heavens my daughter was in the same room with me.  Then, the scrubbing began.  Scrub, scrub, scrub, from head to toe.  As I was being scrubbed I couldn’t help but think I had just entered Oz, and was preparing to see the mighty Wizard.

Once the scrubbing was over the massaging began.  Boy, did my body need that deep, hard massage. As soon as the massage was completed we were given back our robes and quietly escorted to another room.  This was our last stop.  What a room!  The room was glowing, warm, and tantalizing, like an evening sunset.  We were given a cup of herbal tea and just sat on the floor.   We sat, the both of us, quietly  breathing  in our final moments of relaxation.

As I was unable to take any photos of each step we took.

I was able to capture a relaxed mother and daughter preparing to return to the outside world.

  OMG!  The Butterfly Garden Spa gave us a delightful, tantalizing, truly relaxing experience.  

Butterfly Garden Spa gave us three hours of luxury and pampering.  

Time stood still, just like they said it would.
