Club Mud

My good friend Emily celebrated her 21st birthday (again...) and a few of us went to Glen Ivy Spa for the day. It was the best idea ever for a birthday... I think I might have to steal that when MY birthday comes around!

The grounds were beautiful and it was not crowded at all. We almost had the place to ourselves.
Here's moi with Maureen, Emily and Sherina after we soaked in the mineral pools...
Then we headed into Club Mud. A separate area where you paint yourself with clay/mud which apparently pulls out impurities, tightens and moisturizes skin...
Actually, I was just happy to be getting muddy, period. Forget the moisturizing, it was fun to be rolling around in the mud, on purpose. I love mud! Only I'm usually riding on it on a bike! This was different and pretty cool...

We had a nice lunch and then we headed to another section called "The Grotto." This underground cave area where they lather you up with yet another substance (aloe and seaweed) and then you sit in these caverns that are also a sauna while the stuff soaks into your skin. They didn't let me take my camera inside there. Then you move into showers (still in caves) and rinse off. There was also an indoor waterfall. I swear I felt like I was in an Indiana Jones movie. I kept looking to find skulls and stuff...
THEN, after the grotto we went to the Roman pools. ... Sherina looks very much at home here...
When in Rome....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Emily!!! We love you!
