Sanctuary

On Monday, I treated myself to a day at the Sanctuary Spa. It was such a relaxing day, that I ended up feeling sleepy all day and was in bed by 9pm, haha! The spa was beautiful. I had a Swedish massage in the morning, after which I sat in the steam room and hot tub for a bit. I had the whole place to myself, it was wonderful. Afterwards, I went and sat by the pool, ate some chips and salsa while listening to Jay Chou on my ipod, and enjoying the view of the mountains and sky. I passed by the fitness room to see if I should work out for a bit, but felt the relaxation leave me as soon as I entered the room of treadmills and workout equipment, and decided not to 'ruin' the spa experience. So I headed back inside for my facial appointment. It was very relaxing, the woman was friendly and we chatted for awhile, and the extraction phase was completely pain-free! After my facial, I took advantage of the huge showers, with TWO shower heads! It was great. What I did find humorous was that in the lounge area, there is hot tea and magazines, and the Wall Street Journal. Who wants to read the Wall Street Journal on their day at the spa?! Not very 'sanctuary' like to me, haha! It was a fun experience, probably not worth the amount of money I spent, but hey, at least now I can say I spent a day at the spa on my vacation in Phoenix :)
