Our perfect day in paradise, could not have been better! First off, the weather was gorgeous for February, gotta love California! We got checked in and climbed into our comfy robes and then we started our morning with a full body massage!
After being rubbed down for an hour, we decided to "work" a little and joined in on water aerobics! It was a lot of fun and actually did burn...a little! My kind of work out for being at a spa!
Then we floated around the lounge pool for an hour. It was so quiet and peaceful. We listened to the waterfall and kept saying, "This is Amazing!" We also decided when our kids are older, that we are going to be women who own a membership to the spa and go at least once a week!
We met up with friends, Anna and Collette, for lunch at cafe Sole'. The food was delicious and we each ordered something different and tried each other's dishes. I had a shrimp/orange salad and chocolate cake, because a woman can't enjoy the most relaxing day without a little chocolate!
Next we soaked in the mineral baths, which smelt like eggs, but is meant to help heal any ailments one might have.
Then we purified our skin, by covering ourselves in mud! We were not apprehensive at all to jump right in and get muddy!

Look how revitalized we look!!!!
Next, we went down into a cave known as the Grotto, where an attendant painted onto our skin a deep moisturizer made of aloe vera, shea butter, and coconut oil. **Note: this is not us!** We could not take cameras with us, this is a picture from the spa's website. However, this is how green we looked!
We sat on rocks in a warm room, listened to a water fall, and dined on lemon water and apples.

We got a little adventurous and stopped at the terrace pools next. We took the challenge and plunged into a 55 degree pool and then into a really hot pool. We were screaming as we went from one to the other 5 times, trying to stay in the cold pool for 30 seconds. It was intense and my whole body was tingling. I really did enjoy it and have learned that it is really good for your circulation.
Later, we laid in the steam room, soaked in the saline pool, and sweat in the steam room. It was the perfect day and I am so glad to have spent it with a great friend!
