My early birthday at Spa Castle

Yesterday I woke up to my mother busting into my room yelling that my driver side mirror was knocked off my car and the culprit rested in on the hood. I screamed in my head, 'what's next with this whip'! I mean it just got scratched and dented on the passenger side the day before. I was boiling in anger and sadness. This couldn't have come at a worse time. I had plans to meet up with my girls today and I'm driving to DC on Tuesday. I felt myself sinking fast but I wasn't going to let this incident ruin my birthday plans. I threw my hands up and said screw it, hopped in Blush (that's my car) and took off one mirror and all.

I arrived at Spa Castle right on time but of course my friends were late (as usual). I had to check in for my service /treatment 30 mins prior to avoid cancellation. I paid the admitting fee of $45 and was given an electronic wrist band. Once I made it to the other side, I was greeted by two Asian woman who handed me a toothbrush and an orange shirt with matching pink shorts. I looked for the locker that matched the number displayed on my wrist band, rubbed the face of it against the locker and it popped open. How cool!! While I was changing into my prison like garb, I couldn't help but the notice the amount of woman just walking around naked as the day they were born. I peeped around the corner and saw tons of women wading in pools butt booty naked. I said to myself these women are brave because I surely won't be doing that. I went back to the desk to find out where I needed to be for my body scrub. I was then told with a smile that I needed to get completely undressed, shower, and relax in the hot tub... IN THAT SAME ROOM WHERE ALL THE NAKED WOMEN WERE! At this point, I'm wondering where the hell my friends were. I had no choice but to comply.

Designed to favor traditional bath houses in European and Asian culture, there are 4 heated mineral pools in the middle of the spa. On the right hand side are shower stalls separated by a thin glass, perpendicular to that is an open shower room with just individual shower heads, and to the right are low vanities equipped with a detachable shower head and a little bench in case you like to wash in front of a mirror I guess. There is also a cool water pool which is suppose to boost your immune system and helps with blood circulation. The whole scene was like something out a movie to be honest. The lights were dim and it almost seemed... dare I say it, erotic...lol.

After showering I went to relax in one of the heated pools that was equipped with aqua jets. It's suppose to massage away tension through the use of acupuncture and I believe it did. FINALLY my friends arrived and these girls had no qualms about getting naked...lol. Then it was time for my Royal Scrub. The Royal Scrub included skin exfolication, Jojoba oil massage, body shampoo, aroma sea salt body rub and honey milk body wrap. This was done in a private room and boy did I feel like royalty during the process (hence the name). I've never been so relaxed and pampered in all my life. It was worth every penny. When I returned to my friends they couldn't stop talking about how my skin glowed and how soft it felt. For the rest of the day we hung out in the Aqua Bar Pool (in swim suits...lol), sipping expensive drinks and catching up. I couldn't have asked for a better day.
