glen ivy hot springs and day spa

today i got to be treated to a day at glen ivy. it was so nice...we started in the spa that overlooks big bear mountain which happens to be snow capped...then we went in the stinky sulphur bath which i hate but it opens up your pours...then we went into the mud! the mud is sorta wierd it is on a pedastal in the middle of a thigh high pool of water that is all murky from the mud, so you take the mud off the pedastal and rub it on your body and then you get out of the pool and dry off...your skin gets all yucky and hard. then you get into a nice hot shower and rinse off all the mud. (getting the mud off is the best part) then we went into the roman bath and the steam room which were both nice but super hot...and we didnt last very long in those. my favorite part was next the grotto - an under ground adventure where they paint a warm sea kelp mixture on your body and then you go into a hydrating area and relax...then you rinse it off in a 3 head shower and then you go into a final relaxation room where you get cold water and green apples...so fun!! before we headed home i got my eye brows waxed..and it was sooo painful!! the lady went crazy which is good i guess since they were so thick...but i have to keep up with it now because i dont want to ever have that much wax on my face again! it was so painful and she was very rough and didnt have good people skills when i asked her to take a quick break i dont think she understood that my eyes were watering so i needed a tissue...i ended up using my towel. it all ended with lunch at toms farm and my eyebrows are still red...they do look much better though. thanks mom...i had such a great day!! i love geln ivy!
