Ahhhhh, I feel so relaxed! My sister treated me to a wonderful half day at the spa this afternoon. It was amazing– and just what we both needed!
Money-saving tip: Esthetics schools, like Catherine Hinds, offer very discounted prices for their services. Check out my previous post for more info.
When we arrived at Catherine Hinds, we were handed a bag full of goodies for our spa treatment: a robe, towel, and a pair of flip flops.
Of course, we took advantage of the opportunity and snapped a photo before enjoying “The Works,” which included steam, body exfoliation, seaweed wrap, mini facial, and a soothing massage. It was awesome!
My sister and I were both so relaxed, we kept falling asleep during our treatments!
After our day at the spa, we were both starving! I hadn’t eaten lunch, so I was practically ready to eat my arm!
My sis had tons of veggies in her fridge that she wanted to eat before she leaves on her honeymoon, so we threw together a couple of big salads for lunch.
Holy veggies!
I finished off lunch with a Lindt chocolate– the perfect way to end any meal! 
My sister and her fiance planned an evening out for the wedding party at a local restaurant-bar. I’m looking forward to meeting the groom’s side and getting to know the other bridesmaids better. It should be a fun night!

what a wonderful and relaxing day with your sister! that is such a great idea to go to a school for better prices! hope you enjoy the rest of the wedding weekend, can’t wait to read about it!

That looks like so much fun and desperately needed for any bride (and bride’s sister).
What a fun sister day!! I’m gonna send this to mi hermana in hopes that she decides to treat me to a spa day, too 😉
I love girls days like that, especially when there’s a discount involved! It’s so nice to spend time with your sister being pampered, I might have to do that soon.
I love using schools for spa stuff and massage. It is a great tip to get a fun experience at a wonderful price.
Have so much fun with the wedding party 🙂
Awww my sister took me for a spa day right before her wedding too. It was JUST what we needed to relax before the big day. Have SO much fun!!

Spa days are the best! Great tip about going to a esthetician school for a less expensive treat!
Have a great time tonight!
So jealous of your spa day! I could really use a massage/facial 🙂
Now that you’ve filled your veggie quota for the day, you can enjoy a fun dinner out with the brial party. Yay!

Ooh I am in desperate need of a spa day! I go to Madelyn at Healthworks in Back Bay. She is awesome! I am so excited for you and your sister and this big weekend. Ahh I love remembering the days when I was the bride 🙂
I love spa days! I had one last week in Florida 🙂 I was part of the wedding party… I want another spa day!! Weddings are so much fun!
You two look so much alike in that picture!
I’ve been there! The massages are so good and they are practically half price! Love that place.
What a great deal!! Um I think I’ll be making a spa date with one of my bff’s there soon!
a sister spa day has got to be the best thing ever! You two are so cute! 🙂
That sounds so nice and relaxing. You deserve it!
oooooh I sooo need a Spa day, good for you and your Sis! I am sure you both needed it!
Sometimes you just need a spa day. I would have loved one before my wedding, but we were trying so hard to save every penny that I would never have considered splurging on it! 🙂
that looks like such a fun day with your sis!!! im glad you enjoyed yourself. you totally deserve a spa day!
oh, i really enjoy reading the health related news. so interesting!
That looks like a lovely day!! I’ve never had a massage. I’m 25, I think it’s time.
Glad you having a fun, relaxing day with the sis!! I just love doing girly things, don’t you? Have a great weekend.
What a great way to celebrate a special occasion! Spa days are a great way to make everyone feel relaxed and beautiful. Thanks for posting your experience!
