Laura turned 18 last week, which called for a very sweet celebration! Mom and I surprised her with a trip to the Hershey Spa for cocoa baths, cocoa massages, and unlimited Hershey’s Kisses.
Before slipping into our plush robes, Laura and I visited the fitness center. Because that meant we could eat more chocolate throughout the day, right?
We had lunch in the Oasis, walked around the garden, and relaxed on the most comfortable Chaise lounge chairs.
Did I mention there was chocolate? There was. In every room. I drank at least two cups of hot cocoa — despite the balmy temperatures outside — and ate no less than three desserts, two chocolate muffins, and 12 Hershey’s Kisses. It’s a chocolate lovers paradise.
In the late afternoon, we each retreated to our own private rooms for 15-minute soaks in foaming whipped cocoa baths. Then it was on to our 50-minute massages — with chocolate scented massage oil, of course. Everything was just divine.
Side note: My brother, Andrew, may have outdone our surprise Saturday with a Friday night surprise of his own. Story to come!
How fun! I’ve never had a spa day (I’m like the least girly girl but non tomboy chick ever). A chocolate spa I could totally get behind though.
What kind of camera equipment are you using? I’m about to get a DSLR, but I’m nit sure which lenses are right for me.
If you ever get the chance, you should try a chocolate spa! Totally indulgent and relaxing.
As for my camera, I’ve had the Canon Rebel XTi for almost four years. I recently bought the 50mm f/1.8 lens (which is ideal for food photography) and the 255mm lens (for sports and action shots). I also use PhotoShop for post-processing.
Let me know if you have other questions! It really is a worthwhile investment.
Thanks! I’m leaning towards the Rebel t1i. The kit comes with an 18-55 mm3.5-5.6 lens. The 50mm isn’t too bad, so I might grab that too.
What an amazing idea for a spa. Who needs carrot sticks and cucumber water when you can have chocolate! I would pick this spa any day of the week.
