BLISSED OUT

A “Treay-Yourself-Day” is an absolute must this summer! I’ve been making a conscious effort to take better care of myself and prioritize self-care. I made sure to block my calendar and booked a day at Privai Spa. It is truly a world-class experience! Privai is known for treatments infused with nature’s sacred botanicals, results-driven beauty regimens, and pure holistic healing. You will quickly pick up on this vibe upon arrival as you are greeted with a warm fragrance and hand-cleaning ritual. They offer many treatments, so I decided to experience the Spa Classic Pedicure and Express Hydrafacial. 

There is something about sipping tea, wrapped in a robe getting your feet rubbed intensely that is so blissful! The Classic Pedicure includes a relaxing massage with botanically rich products and hot towels to hydrate and restore tired feet.

I’ll be honest, I don’t treat myself to facials as often as I would like but after this experience, I see why it’s so necessary to make this a part of my routine. First, the technician assessed my skin and educated me on the condition of my skin type, and made treatment recommendations. What I loved most was her honesty and softness. I ultimately chose the Hydrafacial Deluxe. This luxurious facial treatment deeply cleanses, exfoliates, extracts, and hydrates the skin utilizing super serums filled with antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid. I must say my favorite part is the steam throughout the experience. On my way out I made sure to take home the facial cleanser!

I could have easily stayed a few more hours and indulged in more treatments, but nevertheless, I walked away very satisfied and a lot more knowledgeable about my skin. If you are in need of a day escape this summer, I would highly recommend Privai!
