Spa Day!

For Christmas Dallas got me a facial/massage combo package at Spa Forever in Bucktown and I finally went and used it a couple weeks ago. I also got an eyebrow wax, stopped for lunch at Flipside Cafe, and got a mani/pedi at Nail Gallery. All of these places are within a block or two of each other, so it worked out perfectly. Fun day in Bucktown! And seemed fitting to do it while Dallas was at Mitch’s bachelor party in Tennessee!

A Facial at SpaForever

Aimee sent me a promotional email for SpaForever (1917 N. Damen) where they were offering some really good deals on spa services. I’d always wanted to get a facial for a few reasons – Find out if my skin care regimen is here it should be – I’m not super hung up on aging and wrinkles, but if I should be doing something differently, I want to know. Also, everyone always raves about how they love getting a facial.. but what are they raving about? And finally, I had two spots on my face I wanted checked out.

So? I thought getting a facial was really relaxing. My technician explained a lot and told me about products but did not pressure me to buy anything, which I appreciated. She was more about educating and answering questions than trying to pimp products and services. She must have done about 30 steps with different creams and who knows what. And then there was a face, neck and shoulder massage. It was a good experience overall. I would think about getting a facial again, maybe just a couple times a year when they ran specials. I’d for sure go to SpaForever again.
