Great Escape: Get Ready for Spa Relaxation

Going to a spa can feel like a vacation-only extravagance that you always tell yourself you'll do but never get around to it. Well, not anymore. In fact, there's a spa facility close by that already has you in mind.

The Face & Body Day Spa in Brentwood offers many different packages, but the one for you is the Mom's Escape Day. Hmm, sounds right up our alley.

For $233 you get four hours of pure bliss. Start the day with fresh flowers upon arrival, then go with the flow and receive a Swedish massage, European Spa Facial, Light Finish Make-Up, a Garden Lunch and Hair Styling. 

The Swedish massage helps relax muscular tension and stimulates circulation with regulated pressure. The European Spa Facial includes a skin consultation, face and neck massage, steam, extraction, exfoliation and treatment mask to give you healthier, younger looking skin.

After the facial comes the 15 minute Light Finish Make-Up to keep you looking beautiful the rest of the day. Lastly, choose from associate to master stylists to give you the perfect hair you've been longing for. 

This is a great opportunity to grab a group of friends and have a girls' day out. True, you might not want to go home when you're done, but you'll be ready and renewed to face life's challenges once again.

For a spa treatment closer to home, make an appointment at Ginger Bay Salon & Spa in Kirkwood. Ginger Bay offers a $200 spa package that gives you a 60 minute massage, an Essential Facial and an Elemental Nature manicure and pedicure, among other packages.
