How do I spell relief? Spaaaahhhhh!

If you ever need any spa treatments done, I highly recommend the Still Water spa at the Hyatt downtown Calgary. Believe me, sometimes I just NEED things done. I had a 90 minute deep tissue massage yesterday, it was amazing. My body was so relaxed, I could feel where the masseuse hadn't gotten to yet, but the ones he had were like jello! I've been there a few times now and they never disappoint. I have had a body scrub, a few massages and my first facial. I haven't been to many other spa's but this one is just so nice, I can't imagine going anywhere else....unless I had a coupon of course. My massage appointment was at 11am so I was there for 10am. I used the hot tub, took off my makeup and went into the steam room. Gave myself a bit of a facial before the steam, finished it off with a cold cloth to my face and then put on a nice night cream on my face to lounge around in. My skin looks very pretty right now. I had my massage, they brought me lunch and then I did the hot tub and steam room again. Then I took a lovely hot shower with a rainfall shower head and multiple jets. Took my time lotioning my body, dried my hair and went to pick up the kids. It was the loveliest day. I know I've already reviewed this spa, but believe me, it's worth mentioning over and over again!

I have a coupon from dealfind for a massage at Spice Wellness. I'll let you know how that goes. It may not be up to Stillwater standards, but I have to check other places out from time to time.

The only thing I have to add is about spa etiquette. If you are going to the spa, be mindful that no one else really wants to hear your conversation (do they ever?), so be respectful and be quiet! If you want to go have a party spa day with the girls, don't go to the Stillwater. If I am there and you do that, I will glare at you! I swear, that is my biggest pet peeve, I just want to relax and these other people are yakking away. And the swearing! Geez ladies, pretend you are civilized for just a little while and don't swear like a trucker at the spa. That's all, I will stop my rant now and go back to being all zen and spa like myself!
