A Spa Party with Girlfriends

My gift to myself today was to scrub the tub. I know, weird gift, eh? Allow me to explain…

Yesterday I hosted the most amazing spa party. Yes, there was stuff for sale. But, the best part was the relaxation exercises, guided visualization, and “spa moment” tips to lead a “spa lifestyle”. Shannon is the Spa Queen in my book because she has an abundance of low or no cost ideas about how to create spa moments each and every day without taking any extra time. She took examples of thing we already do – like showering – and taught us how to turn it into a daily spa experience.

So how did this lead me to scrub the tub? Well, during the party I decided to switch bathrooms so that I could use the guest bathroom, which has no windows and more privacy than the bathroom I used to share with the Hubs. The tub hasn’t been used since my nephew moved out almost a month ago, so it needed a good Mom scrub before I could jump in naked and expect to get clean!

After the tub was almost-Mom-clean (this one will take a few scrubs to get back up to Mom-par), I lit a few candles, turned off the lights, and stepped into my warm spa moment shower. It was so relaxing and invigorating simultaneously. When I was all done with my shower and applying about 10 different lotions and potions I blew out the candles and walked a few steps to my home office and got to work. What an *AMAZING* way to begin my day. Thank you so much, Shannon, for teaching me how to turn my shower into a spa moment!

And I would also like to thank Karen, Christine, Rebecca, Flor, Paula, and Minh for offering such heart-felt words of acknowledgment and support. I’m not going to give away all of Shannon’s spa party secrets, but let’s just say that I was totally brought to tears – in a loving way – during the very first spa treatment we did. What a fabulous party!

I’m telling you, Shannon needs to found her own company throwing spa parties not to sell spa products, but to take us through the guided visualization, to teach us how to create a spa lifestyle, and to help bring women together all in a spa atmosphere in our home! I would totally pay $25 to attend my own party to receive what I received from the party. Seriously. Shannon is that good!
