| - I'm not going to lie... the drive to Alvea Spa in Trilogy at Vistancia is quite far. A lot farther than I thought. But once I arrived, I was extremely impressed at this little hidden gem of a community in the Northwest Valley.
I wanted to go check this place out since they are participating in "Hawt On Yelp," and since I was making the drive, I rewarded myself with an appointment for a facial and brow wax. Lucky for me, my appointment was with Suzanna, and she was incredible. But let me back up a second... before I met Suzanna, I met Maggie. Maggie gave me a quick tour of the place and brought me to my locker where I met the most comfy robe I've ever put on my body. And then I was escorted to the heaven that lay ahead of me in Suzanna's room.
We started with the brow wax and I could tell Suzanna was good as she carefully explained what she was going to do to make sure the brows were even and cleaned up just right to accent my eyes. Next the facial began and she talked / educated me just enough so that I could relax and enjoy but learn a little something too... several scrubs, a partial pumpkin peel, a mask, exfoliation, and moisturizer later, I was given a choice: hands, feet, or neck and shoulders. I chose feet. Deep exhale. No words can explain how amazing this was. I didn't want my time to end, but it did... :(
And as I type this, I wish that Alvea Spa was just a bit closer to home. However, if it were, I could see spending a lot of time and money there, so maybe (for the sake of my checkbook), it's a good thing it's not! Regardless, if you live, work, or play anywhere near Peoria, go pay this spa a visit. It's a beautiful facility and I am willing to bet money on it that you'll thank me later!
