Spa Week is Here ! October 16 - October 22, 2017

Greetings !  Guess what ?! Spa Week is here ! OCTOBER 16- OCTOBER 22,  2017 ! It’s not too late to sign up !

Here’s my feature spa this month ... it’s not my favorite but I enjoyed this spa (and reviewed)  it in the past ...  take a look .... I have another spa to review though I’m positive it’s not on the spa week list .. pricey but oh so fab ! That’s the next blog .. you’ll have to wait for that !

My favorite spa Eden Day Spa @edenspanyc  has been my favorite for years . My last visit left me less than thrilled .  Maggie who does my massages is always heavenly but .. something was missing . Could it be that my locker was broke , had to wait for a robe (lots of dirty ones in the bin) and just well .. looked dusty . Perhaps because it was a late Sunday evening . 🤷🏽‍♀️

For now ..

I’ve been to both locations though I think I only reviewed the University Place location . Well I wasn’t crazy about that location . Try the 14th street location ! Happy Spa-ing!

Ciao!

New Spa Review: Rehoboth Spa Manhattan NYC

Greerings!

I've fallen off updating my blog through no fault but my  own.
Life gets in the way and I hadn't been to a spa in a minute .  The review
Now is a bit after the fact ..  I went to this spa at the end of December !

So let's get going .. If you don't know , I'm having eye surgery in a couple of days  and in prepping
For surgery I've been to the retina specialist seems like almost every other week .

The last visit was long and a Sorority Sister of mine had mentioned a spa to me before that I
Wanted to checking out .  Turns out Rehoboth has 2 locations .. Daily close to each other and this particular location was about 2 blocks fron the doctor's office  and after a very long wait and leaving very late , I was tired but felt I needed a massage , I walked I t the place and asked were they closed .

To my surprise they were open ! So at 8:39om I had a great massage by Harry . I did have the medical form to fill out ( which is always my gold standard) and upstairs were manicurist still working on a few clients .

The location was at University Place between 14th and 15th Street .  I had no wait ! They toile downs one rather scary stairs ( knee surgery so they were steep but doable ) to a rather small (read tight ) waiting area and into a massage room .

I saw no lockers , nor was I given slippers . Ok I'm a spa snob so this right here turned me off . I kept thinking maybe this is like an annex.. Since the other location is not too far away .

But as I say many posts ago - it's the massage that matters ... Much more than the bells and whistles .
I had a combo reflexology and Swedish  75 min . What was interesting is that the massage table contracted so they could do the reflexology on the same table . Something I also wasn't used to .

Harry spoke not so great English , but he ask how hard/soft I wanted the massage and what knee had the surgery . So that's a plus in my book .

Harry was fantastic ! Not the best massage I've ever had but certainly great ! The reflexology was ok.. I've had better .

All in all I'd hit the other location which is only several blocks away !

Check out the spot for yourselves!

Hola !

I just posted a set of Travel Rewind stories as today is the anniversary of my surgery after suffering
A horrible fall in DR last year on vacation .

I am doing well . God is good . Healing is continuing . I am waking , spinning , exercising , all somewhat modified .. No running yet . However .. I have been on a cruise this year , traveled for pleasure and work on a plane and purchased a Fitbit to get serious about tracking the walking and exercising .

I am extremely grateful and I share the good and the bad during that trip as a reminder to never take a day for granted . Also .. ALWAYS HAVE TRAVEL INSURANCE .  The one time I don't ....

Thanks to tho those who read my stories .. Here's to hoping you enjoy them !

Ciao!

Travel Rewind: Punta Cana Day 7 Pain Pain go away

Hola,


After a great dinner last night at the speciality restaurant and have hopped in and out the jitney several times yesterday I finally had a great night sleep even though I need to sleep on my back . 

Thanking God all the way . I managed to go to the bathroom myself and change clothes ( a small feat ) but I knew I needed to rest because today would be tough . 

The bus to the airport was challenging and almost fell and I realized the gravity of the situation . I'm certain I'll need surgery and pray I can walk . That is what's scaring me now . 

I need to be calm .. One journey at a time . Home first . The folks at the airport and wonderful .. Special services did a great job ..even took us to duty free . 

I never realized the pain could be so great until trying to get off the bus . I need a different strategy and I'm so glad I don't have to go up the stairs to the plane . I am however concerned again about how I will manage this bus to the plane . God will provide .  

I need to contact the hospital for special surgery ASAP .. And insurance and my job and TIAA . These things I must take care if today . 

I have to tell my mom but decided to wait until I get home .
