For Spa Lovers

I went to a spa retreat the other day set in an all-natural oasis, where I got arguably one of the best hand exfoliation treatments in the world. Pricey stuff, indeed.

First my hands were submerged into icy fresh and clear water. This special kind of water is so unique and rare that a lot of people don't have access to it around the world! It's like, A-list treatment.

Good thing I had lots of it. *Splash splash!*

Then these uber-exquisite exfoliant beads (flown in from northern Canada) were gently scrubbed onto my palm and fingers in a delicate circular motion. It took away all the stress that my innocent little hands face all day.

*Scrub scrub!*

Then my hands were cleansed in that icy fresh water again, removing all traces of exfoliants and leaving only soft and supple skin behind. Seriously, no hundred-dollar cream could do justice - I've never felt my hands any softer!

The five minute spa treatment made me realize how lucky I am to be soooo wealthy and rich and all other adjectives for being extremely wealthy and rich. 884 million people* around the world don't even have what I have! I am grateful every day.

So while I wish I could say that all the above was true, and that I was actually at an expensive spa retreat set in an all-natural oasis, I was actually just at Algonquin Park a few weeks ago, giving myself a hand treatment using icy fresh and clear lake water and sand.

Good thing there was lots of it.

You should be grateful for it, too.

*884 million people lack access to safe water supplies; approximately one in eight people.
