Spa Therapy
I myself, have just about HAD IT with winter. A few weeks ago, I was still going around saying, I’ve spent all my life here, it’s just another winter, nothing to get worked up about. But last week’s storm was the last straw. And never have I had to literally climb over a snow bank right in front of my stairs in order to get onto the sidewalk. Seems that in the night, a snow plow passed by, pushing all the snow to one side, leaving a gigantic hardened pile right at the bottom of my stairs when I came out in the morning. I had to kick away at it with my boot until I could secure a foothold and clambor over it. Aye Carumba! Or as one of my former bosses used to say all the time, “J’suis tanné!”.
So today I took some time off to head to the spa. I treated myself to my first pedicure ever. Even though it’s clearly not sandal season, I needed a ray of hope and some pampering for my poor dry feet. They too have suffered through this endless winter. Being a newbie to the pedicure, I had to ask around for recommendations. A friend of mine hooked me up with a naturopathic spa in the NDG area. I am delighted to report that I had a wonderful experience at the Source d’Eden Spa. This spa is located on Décarie just a few blocks from Villa Maria metro and was just the kind of oasis I needed. My feet are now soft and smooth and my toes are looking forward to the day when they can be freed from the confines of boots and slipped into a nice pair of breezy sandals.
I often like to ask people to recommend their favourite places for different treatments. That’s how I found my massage therapist at the MAA Sports Clinic. And my hairdresser who I’ve been seeing for countless years. So to the girls (and metrosexuals?) out there, do you have any good recommendations to share? Hidden jewels in Montreal? Specialists who are so good, you don’t really want anybody else to know about them? C’mon. Time to spill. I think most Montrealers are in need of some spa therapy right about now.
