SPA WEEK IS BACK! DON'T MISS $50 TREATMENTS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY 16TH-22ND!

Meg here and it's the most wonderful time of the year! No, not the holidays. I'm not crazy for those. Spa Week has arrived and jut in time! My bones are a creakin'. I'm sure a lot of you are familiar with Spa Week. Tons of beauty providers (spas, hair stylists, facialists and masseuse's) all put some great servieces on special. Really amazing (and normally pricey) treatments all get marked down to $50. How can you beat that?

To kick off the celebration, I headed to the OC. Huntington Beach to be exact, and met Amy Ven De Vanter at CloudMover Day Spa. Voted #1 Massage SPot on the OC Hotlist I was very tempted to go in for a rub down. However, I was in serious need of some facial work. I was one more blackhead away from freaking and becoming a face butcher. I know, I know, you need to leave the extractions to the pro's, I was a good girl and that's exactly what I did. Do you know how hard it is for me to walk away from a good pimple to pop? Hard. But I know I'm not the only one out there that suffers from this sick compulsive behavior!

My lifestyle (shocker) had been less than healthy this past month and I was needing a deep detox. Anna welcomed me, handed me a plush robe and sent me off to the sauna. It was step one in trying to clean out my poisonous body. Second step? Cut to lying on a massage table while Anna began applying a gel like, detoxifying seaweed potion to my body. Both sides. From the neck down. It was a little chilly at first but no worries. I was soon wrapped heas to toe in what can only be described as a human version of Reynolds Wrap. Yes, I was wraped like a mummy, like leftovers from your favorite restaurant. It was very relaxing and I began to "cook." I was fine in my heated cocoon state but I woud not suggest this treatment if you suffer from claustrophobia or you may have a bit of anxiety. 

Anna had the body covered, it was time to start on the place that was starting to revolt! It was time to start fixing my face! For the next hour I was facially massaged, cremed, hydrated, buffed, scrubbed, extracted and moisturized. Sound good? It was. It was great.

By the end of my treatment, I was a new women. My face and body were refreshed and revitalized and all set for me for me to begin a fresh month of destructive behavior and not look any worse for the wear! Being bad was feeling beautiful.

You too want to be back in tip top shape? Do a little face spring cleaning? You can. Take advantage of Spa Week. Just sign up and put your zip code in and you'll be taken to the amazing deals page! Totally great, top notch services at great prices. I'm planning on booking more than a few of these babies!

So tell me, have you ever participated in Spa Week? What are your favorite services to get? What did you think?

Nothing close to me, but sounds so nice and relaxing!  I've been pretty stressed lately and could definitely use some pampering.

I got a facial once during spa week near me a few years ago.  It was a sensitive skin facial and yet I still was horribly red for days afterwards. I'll stick to massages or body wraps or something from now on.

GRRRRRRRR!  I was out of the country for 17 days and really when you are in Asia on vacation, running into the mountains after a tsunami alert(true story) with your child, you kind of lose perspective of what the hell is going on back home and so when I came back needing my treatments, the receptionist looked at me like I was crazy to want an appointment for anything this week.  There are some great deals out there and I am looking on so sad.  However, having come back from Thailand, Cambodia and Hong Kong (yes I shopped), I can tell you that we were getting excellent 60-90 minute massages for about 3-5 US dollars.  Our mani/pedi (granted the humidity made the polish less than happy to dry) was 20.00 US:  for TWO of us!  So enjoy spa week all.  I will do my own roots!

EVERY week is spa week! Like Aud, I rely on Groupons for spa treatments too. I've only had one bad experience - a gel mani performed by an inexperienced technician. Other than that, they've all been great! I had a particularly amazing massage that really got to my muscles that were sore from a stressful job.

Of course I missed this :( I can't stand people touching my face, so a facial would out of the question, but I do love a good massage! I get frequent headaches, severe neck pain, and I have an arthritic shoulder, so a good massage is heaven on earth for me!
