With the mercury dropping, I have to admit that I'm starting to feel a drop in energy. I feel more tired, more stressed.

Why do you ask? I ask myself. Because winter seems to be settling in too quickly? Because I feel like I've been sprinting since the end of my summer vacations? Because my to-do list is still (too) long? I don't really know, but there's one thing I do know that would do me a world of good: treat myself to a little indulgence!

I would gladly return to Amerispa Sheraton Lavalwhere my twin Annick and I were pampered for an entire morning on our anniversary. I remember coming out feeling energized and like I had two kilos less on my shoulders (I may be exaggerating a little, but hardly!). The morning had given me a great sense of well-being.

A body wrap, oh how good that feels!

I then discovered the bamboo body wrap, which provides a beauty and well-being break, remineralizing and revitalizing the body. The aim of this type of wrap is to eliminate toxins from the body, moisturize the skin and promote relaxation.

How did the wrap go? Basically, the beauty professional exfoliated and then applied a paste from my feet to my bust. Next, I was wrapped in plastic wrap and covered with a heated blanket. After which, I closed my eyes and relaxed for a good 25 minutes. I felt so good! I think I dozed off. A good rinse and a hair massage completed this moment of relaxation. I loved the benefits of this treatment.

Manicure and pedicure

Then, to be beautiful from fingertips to toes, I opted for a nail beauty treatment. It felt good to have pretty nails. Incidentally, while my pedicure was being done, I was comfortably seated in a self-massaging chair. Pleasant, you say?

Of course, Amérispa offers a host of other treatments, including massage therapy and facials. A word of advice: don't forget to take a look at the promotions and packages on offer; you could make some wonderful discoveries.

The ultimate VIP suite!

If you feel like relaxing with just the two of you, perhaps you'd like to book the VIP Suite ? I have to admit, it's a wonderful place. The decor is warm and the atmosphere peaceful. Best of all, you can have your treatments in your suite! You'll find everything you need for a relaxing moment: massage table, whirlpool bath, thermoludic shower, plus a little relaxation area for nibbles and drinks.
