rich spa/poor spa

How does a girl get bang for buck in Banff?
Here's what I did..

I had my own hot yoga session in the hotel cedar sauna, I had conditioner in my hair and lotion on to "sink in" Maybe people though I was a bum and thats why they didnt come in.



Then I used my own products in my hotel bathroom for a mud mask microdermabrasion, all while listening to "Om" on the Ipad


Finally comes the splurge:  The big fancy banff springs hotel spa
Ouuuuu weee!
Here's a pop quiz.
You could tell I was not a regular at Banff spa because
1) I drank the equivalent of a small village in mineral water which tasted like cucumber guts - how do they do that?
2) I fancied the lotion in the ladies room so much I slathered it on my bathrobe to sniff as I read books by the pools,
3)because of a and b I went to the bathroom every 30 mins,

If you picked all of the above, you are correct. No one can say I didn't have a flushing detox action going on that day.
That place is so cool, they pipe classical music underwater so you can finally become the synchronized swimmer you've always wanted to be!
I finished with the best massage of my life. and a hot/cold shower in place of a contrast bath.
Om is right, beaches!
