Scandinave Spa Whistler

Uncategorized By December 29, 2010 Tags: , , , , , , 3 Comments

You’re at Whistler.  It’s a powder day.  And you just did West Cirque.  Does it get any better than this?  Yup.  Head a few blocks north of the village to the Scandinave Spa Whistler, and prepare to find peace.  Hike up the gravel path through a Tofino-like forest. (Don’t worry if you’re not relaxed yet.  It will come).  Light blue signs seem zen-like against the bright green trees, and running water stimulates you to breathe deeply.  (And make you need a ladies room, but the ambiance continues there too).

Treat Yourself With A Day At The Miraj Hammam

LIVE, nourish By November 21, 2009 Tags: , , , , 1 Comment

I’m really not much of a spa person.  I can’t relax, I get bored, and I just want my nails to dry already.  I have to turn my cell phone off, and most estheticians make me feel like my skin is dry (not enough water) and I have cellulite (too much coffee). Thanks.  Needless to say, I didn’t enter the Miraj Hammam Spa expecting to feel much better about myself upon departure.  They proved me wrong.  I entered (late) into the gorgeous space and was made to feel instantly at ease – not ostracized at all for the tardiness or for not knowing where to put my shoes when I donned the slippers one wears to the ‘baths’.
