Girls Spa Day, Rainy Days

Ask the Yenta
 
Dear Yenta, So my birthday is coming up next month – and I think I want to do something with just my girlfriends. Where’s a place we could go to get some inexpensive spa services, and then maybe a cute lunch? I was thinking maybe one of those Korean day spas, but I’m not sure all my friends would be up for the nudity. I kinda want to be pampered, but the cost is a huge issue for almost everyone who will be invited, so it has to be someplace where we could do little services that are a good deal. What do you think? Does anyplace come to mind”

Yeah, I’d probably stay away from the “all nude” spas. Personally, I know I don’t want to be walking around anywhere nude! And perhaps many of your girlfriends feel the same way…

Alright – so I’m just going to throw out a few ideas.  These many not fit the exact request but they offer some fun treats – and the price is right!

The mineral waters and red clay mud baths are included in the entrance fee. You can eat lunch there, plus anyone can add extra treatments if they desire — like you, birthday girl!  This is a great price for a full day’s activity and super fun for a group!
