Chocolate Spa Day

A few time a year I like to organize a field-trip or special event for my friends and yoga students. Usually I plan something around the holidays, but this year just got away from me…
My friend and Massage Therapist, Kim and I had been talking about doing a spa day for months. Since Brian and I have finally finished renovating the house and basement I decided to host a BIG spa day at my house. With Valentine’s day approaching we decided to go with a chocolate theme.

We asked some of our other friends in the spa/healing practice to join us.

We had a great line up of teachers, practitioners, artist and therapists:

Massage Therapy
Esthetician (Facials)
Manicurist
Numerologist
Jewelry
Qi Gong
Yoga
Stampin’ Up

Brian and I turned our basement into spa area. We hung curtains (queen sized, flat sheets) from the ceiling beams and put tension rods in between the pillars so that we could create a sliding door for each spa “room” . We moved one of the couches out and created a waiting area…. It actually turned out pretty nice…. Maybe we need to just turn the basement into a spa!?

Upstairs we set out jewelry and handmade scarf displays and a table of Stampin Up crafts and stamps. I served a ton of chocolate treats and teas…. and then the crowds arrived!
