This time of year always makes me feel like pampering myself just a little. I don’t know if it’s because I’m still recuperating from cleaning up after all the Christmas activities and gifts, or because life just seems to quiet down in January for a spell, but I’m ready to do something special for myself to help celebrate the beginning of a new year. A trip to a spa might be just the ticket!

One of the best things about living on the south end of Hood Canal is the Alderbrook Resort and Spa. Located just down the hill from Alderbrook Properties, this beautiful facility offers a wide variety of massages (including a Healing Hot Stone Massage … that sounds really nice during the colder winter months!) as well as various body treatments (an algae wrap … hmmm … I’m not so sure about that one), the obligatory manicure/pedicure, and different facials (including one for gentlemen). And if you’re short on time, you can even get an express facial in just 30 minutes!

You’ll need to call first to make a reservation, but same-day reservations are fine, providing there’s room on the schedule.

I think I’m leaning toward the Healing Hot Stone Massage … what about you? Reflexology, perhaps? That algae wrap, maybe? Check out all the services offered at the Alderbrook Spa  and leave a comment telling us the one you’d most like to try!
