Citrus Detox Spa Water

It’s hard for me to remember to take care of myself, as a person who is constantly taking care of hundreds—yes, hundreds—of other people and things (my students, my husband, my mother who lives with us in the winter, my animals, my gardens, the housecleaning and cooking…just to name a few.)

So going to a spa is mandatory while on vacation or whenever the need arises, just to try and keep my sanity. Besides all of the wonderful array of facials, massages, salt scrubs, and new, trendy treatments, I know a winner of a spa when I see ice cold infused water waiting to greet me!

Attention to those little details is extremely important, and it leaves a strong impression!

I even love being greeted with refreshing infused water in hotel lobbies when I travel. My reflexologist even offers me a lovely chilled glass of herb-infused spa water after my treatments. So refreshing!
