Spa: Milk + Honey

Have I ever told you I am a spa freak obsessed junkie deluxe?

If I had endless money, I would go to one daily.

Actually, I have always wanted to own one.  So that I could go daily.

If you ever want to get me a gift...spa.

If you ever want to hang out with me....let's go to a spa.

Devin got me a gift during our weekend in Austin.

SPA.

For our first anniversary, I got him a Sunday morning massage here.

He died on the table.

That. good.

So when he told me I got to go...there are no words.

Because I love spas.

Milk +Honey is a small, quaint space on Colorado in downtown Austin.  You walk in to meet the receptionist, and she will show you to your locker (the key has a honeycomb on it.  cute.), and you can put on your robe and slippers there.  Then, you head to a dim-lit relaxation room with super soft couches, orange and lemon water, a hot tea selection, mixed nuts, and other snacks to enjoy.  

The decor inside is a beautiful natural touch (I didn't feel like others could relax if I was snapping pictures of them laying in their robes) with gray walls, beige furniture, and tree stumps as end tables.  

I had a one hour massage with lavendar aromatherapy, hot towels, and a warm table.  It was spectacular. 

In the restroom after my massage, I read about their VIP program where you can earn spa points for certain things (referring friends, getting a different treatment than you normally get) that would be very very enticing for me if I lived in the Austin area.  There were showers, so I could get ready for the rest of my day with Devin, but they weren't the greatest.  I think I got the vibe that they were renovating the bathrooms based on the fact that all of the tile was off of the wall, but I never saw a sign about it, so maybe they're going for the construction look.  Pair that with the rude receptionist at the front as I was leaving, and I'll give it an 8 of 10.

If you're in the Austin area, please do yourself a great service and visit milk+honey for a little R&R.

Somehow, I then convinced my man to let me do a spa review once a month on this little bliggity blog.  I know.  So tell me, where do you go for some down time??  Where have you looked at going but aren't sure?  We have some more traveling coming up soon, so I am hoping to get some spa time in some different cities.

Happy Wednesday!
