My dear friend Anita G treated me a "gingerbread n butter" pedicure at the Stillwater Spa (side note : I have the BEST friends, y'all!) to de-stress.
I had a truly wonderful and relaxing experience at the spa. My esthetician, Gordana, was a really lovely soul. She brought me little treats (I don't know if this is customary?), composed of a caprese salad, sparkling fruit juice, and a little sweet treat. The gingerbread part of the pedicure is a scented oil she placed into my footbath - OMG it smelled just like gingerbread cookies, yum!
Love that they offer beautiful Deborah Lippmann polishes! I selected "Ruby Red slippers" layered over "Lady Is A Tramp" for the festive season (think deep burgundy sparkle) and LOVED the results. Gordana took a lot of care to make sure each toe was perfectly polished, which I appreciated!
It was fairly quiet being that I went late on a Tuesday evening and I think at one point I had the entire place to myself. They do not rush you to leave (which was awesome as I didn't want to smudge my new toes by jamming them into my winter boots).
I wish I had my bathing suit with me as you can use the hot tub facilities if you wish while you wait for your services. Helped myself to some delicious tea and biscotti, they even had apples as well to snack on in the tea lounge. Spent a bit of relaxing in a "cabana" type lounger complete with my own TV and disposable headphones reading a magazine - Bliss!!
Really enjoyed my experience here and I will return as a treat for sure.
