Solage

As you know, we took our yearly pilgrimage to Napa to drink wine all day for the half marathon in July {here}. I'll share the full post with you soon but we spent an afternoon at a place so incredibly serene and heavenly that it deserves it's own post.

We were all in need of massages and couldn't get in at our hotel spa. I reached out to one of my favorite bloggers Melissa, who just so happens to live in the wine country. She recommended Solbar in Calistoga for lunch and mentioned that they have a spa there as well. We only had time for a quick lunch at Solbar before our spa appointments. The restaurant was so California~chic inside with never ending people watching and out of this world food!!
Our walk over to the spa.


The guys had massages and the girls had the special mud slide treatment.

*Step 1~Our personal mud mixture and essential oil was created
*Step 2~Lay in a heated mud lounge (aka:steam room) for 20 minutes covered in our mud mixture
*Step 3~ Soak in a geo-thermal mineral water bath for 15 minutes
*Step 4~ Float in a gravity defying chair with sound vibration for a 20 minute power nap.

You can see the mud bar on the right side of this picture.
The treatment rooms line this walkway and the private pool is straight ahead. Pure heaven, right?

Here are some fun images off the Solage site:

I don't know about you but I could really use a quick spa getaway after this week. Between the craziness at work right now and the hustle and bustle of back to school I'm wiped!!

Have a restful and re energizing weekend everyone.
