Never been to a spa, but from you experienced sounds so lovely. If I had a week to myself I'd go to Florida to visit my cousin during Spring Training for baseball. I could relax and go see some baseball.Nicole's Book Musingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12088048224650517952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37809871.post-14163640980535235422010-02-12T02:17:08.201-06:002010-02-12T02:17:08.201-06:00CC, oh what a wonderful week of bliss.

I jsut realised I get a win/win with the pedicure I just had, because I'm heading home to an Aussie summer tomorrow, and the only footwear anyone with half-a-brain wears in our heat are flip flops - or thongs as we call 'em. :-)<br />And yes, the beach would be lovely for a week's break. See if you can find yourself that CD of "Gentle Waves". At least then you could imagine you're at the beach instead of snowed under somewhere!<br />Hi Lisa, I see you're already a devoted fan of the Spa!

Arosa in the Swiss Alps has to be my favorite - Kulm resort is just gorgeous, the food wonderful. And we got free chapagne for our 25th wedding anniversary. We recently went to Austria for our 26th, as well. Another excellent weekend. We're addicted now, and planning another day trip to a spa for when our son's away skiing.<br /><br />Definitely worth the investment, isn't it, CC?<br /><br />Melissa JamesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37809871.post-44337678791377897702010-02-11T07:23:17.846-06:002010-02-11T07:23:17.846-06:00The spa thing sounds amazing.

Then I'd pack up the laptop and rent a beach house for at least a week. Walk on the beach, sit on my deck with the ocean waves lapping and write as many hours a day as I wanted without interruption.<br /><br />I'd have a stocked fridge of goodies for those times when I wanted to write instead of going out to sample some delectable local seafood.Pamela Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07673215467505231212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37809871.post-83473871722225725852010-02-10T23:37:15.179-06:002010-02-10T23:37:15.179-06:00Jan, I'm a bit worried about sending any furth...Jan, I'm a bit worried about sending any further words to you since yerve fergottin' how to talk English! ;-) I'm so glad I've inspired you to pamper yourself with a facial. I think I'll make it my mission in life to make sure more of us take the time to pamper ourselves instead of all those around us for a change. (did you hear that my precious children???)<br />anita, the next time anyone in your family asks what you want for your birthday/Christmas/anniversary you must say that you want a voucher to your local Ella Bache salon or elsewhere! Now, repeat after me - I want a voucher for a .... at ....! Please report back on the success of this endeavour?<br />Hi Linda, great to see you popping in here again.

Or a facial or anything else that you deserve for working so hard.:-)<br />Noela, I'd never have guessed you enjoy being pampered! You never sit still.

I love this sort of pampering, and it doesn't happen half enough for me these days. Sigh! But who knows what the future will being.<br />I'm glad you enjoyed this experience and I can understand you want to live there.<br />Great to hear you wrote all those words. This has been great research for you.

I was given a voucher for both by my best friend and we're heading off there as soon as we can negotiate a suitable time. I can't wait!! <br /><br />Have only ever had physio on my back and neck, but would LOVE a massage - though not sure about a body mud masque. I'm not a fan of a face mud musk - it's OK but not as good as facial.<br /><br />Agree with you in re-testing the awesomeness of spas - research and research again! It's the only way to be sure ;-P (Inspiring to know you're a dedicated researcher!)<br /><br />So glad you enjoyed your pampering week - and how wonderful that you managed to write so much!

However, I think I should test this theory again very soon, just to make sure it wasn't an aberration! And yes, I've got 2 books coming ut this year.

It's so relaxing and once you lie down and close your eyes, you'd swear you were at the seashore. Well, apart from the salty smell and sweating in the heat! <br />Maybe we should schedule a spa vacation together sometime?
