Turns Out Trans Fats Feel as Good as They Taste

“Body butter, drenching.”

“Body butter, dren – oops, there’s my exit!”

If ever there was a morning I needed a good buttering and drenching, today was it. I had left a husband making crêpes in my just-cleaned kitchen, my floors had sticky puddles on top of the sticky puddles that needed cleaning last week, and my laundry piles had physically eaten my laundry room. Engulfed. Digested. Gone. Burp. I was headed for ninety minutes of being slathered in something akin to butter, being wrapped in plastic and blankets until it absorbed, then I would be massaged until I was unconscious. (Maybe I added that last part) To say I was excited is to say the sea is wet; there may have been actual skipping as I got out of my car in the parking lot.

The Sego Lily Mind Body Spa isn’t just pretty; it’s a knockout. The Palladio colors and architecture are reminiscent of something you’d stumble across in an Italian countryside, were you lucky enough to stumble across a wellness spa as you hoofed it through the Italian countryside. This isn’t a strip mall spa; there are no cheesy posters on the wall, no sixteen year-olds getting their hair blown out for prom in the front room, no smell of nail polish remover wafting or fluorescent lighting overhead. From the moment you walk through the heavy wrought iron doors, you get the message: This is an escape.

After I checked in and was shown to the changing room, I was given my eggplant chenille-lined robe and spa slippers and instructed to change and wait for my therapist in the relaxation room. I couldn’t get there as fast as planned – the changing room alone could’ve held my interest for twenty minutes. Spa quality face lotions and rinses, complimentary Q-tips, hair elastics, razors, deodorant, hairspray; that was just the stuff by the sink! There were showers, a steam room, a sauna – you name it. Had I somewhere to go other than home to my laundry room’s skeletal remains, I would’ve been set. Then, the relaxation room: They aren’t kidding; I was tempted to ditch the treatment and see how long I could go unnoticed on the huge, overstuffed couches. Low light, an assortment of herbal teas, hot chocolate, mints, fresh fruit and – get this – a melody of dried fruit on which I could drizzle dark chocolate syrup infused with antioxidants! Stop it, Sego Lily. You’re messing with my reality.

After a few relaxing minutes and ample snooping, Kaylie appeared in her all-black attire and I mean business apron and greeted and escorted me to my room. So it began. This wasn’t my first rodeo, if you get my drift, so I assured Kaylie, as she walked me through the process, that this body had seen ample time inside a spa. How wrong I was – there are treatments, and then there are treeeeeeaaatments. Kaylie rubbed me in something that was literally the texture and consistency of butter, except it smelled like lime verbena and the aroma combined with the warmth of the room made me feel like I was lying on a beach somewhere, sun drenched to my toes. And did I mention the table was warmed? Warmed! The gentle heat radiated up from my underside and wrapped around me like a blanket – oh wait, that was the actual blanket Kaylie wrapped me in when she was through slathering; a cozy cocoon so snugly and moist I felt akin to a baked potato in foil, sizzling away on the oven’s top rack. While I marinated, Kaylie covered my eyes in an herbal mask (Yum, lavender. And again with the warming!) and massaged my neck and shoulders; there was contact with pressure points, pulling and maneuvering, and I was a limp noodle. Once I was peeled from my toasty shell, the massage began.

I’d like to give you intimate details of the massage but it was a complete out of body experience and might’ve lasted minutes or days – couldn’t tell you. I was so relaxed, somewhere betwixt and between being asleep, that I only remember being rubbed and touched so wonderfully I felt completely at peace. And I forgot the dishes. And I forgot the laundry. I forgot the constant list that I write in my head every waking moment. And I just was. Ninety minutes from the start we were through. Kaylie was the quintessential massage therapist; speaking only enough to make me feel connected though never requiring constant dialogue. She was firm and confident and though she probably tips the scales at 90 pounds, she worked all 5’11’’ of me like putty in her hands. Once I pulled myself together and headed out the door, I let out a long sigh and reminded myself why every mother, nay every woman, deserves time to herself to indulge in something that makes her feel energized. Women deplete their stores on a daily basis; Sego Lily wipes the slate clean, if for only ninety minutes, so that we can take off our robes, suit back up and face the world again; or at the very least, the laundry piles. Woman, get thee to Sego Lily.

Amanda’s Post mistakenly did not come up until 11:50AM, about 7 hours after everyone elses, this was an error on my part. I apologize to Amanda and assure her that we will make sure the voting has plenty of time to work itself out so that it’s fair to her! Happy voting!
angel christenen on June 6, 2009 at 11:18 am

I’m relaxing just thinking about it. I need to indulge so I can keep going. Thanks Amanda
katie terry on June 6, 2009 at 11:21 am

well and perfectly said about the experience that you were able to have! i could almost feel the relaxation vibes coming through the computer!

i read all of the experiences and yours was the best…simple and straight to the wonderful point!

go amanda!!!
christy on June 6, 2009 at 12:16 pm

I vote for Amanda – she’s made me long to live in Utah just so I could visit this salon….
christy on June 6, 2009 at 12:16 pm

Oh, and maybe to make up for posting hers so late – you could move hers to the top of the pile instead of down at the end?!
whitney on June 6, 2009 at 12:22 pm

I always wonder what a spa is like on the inside, never wanting to try them in the case that they are all shell and no delicious center. Glad to know what to expect and it is just what I want to expect. I vote for Amanda!
mel on June 6, 2009 at 2:13 pm

Mmmm, delicious! I almost feel as if I’ve had the massage! So wonderful!!
Becky on June 6, 2009 at 2:18 pm

Is there really any question who the winner of this contest should be??? Seriously. After reading all the entries, I was most inspired (and motivated to make an appointment) by Amanda’s post. Her writing is fantastic and her wit pleasantly funny. She is real and should be Sego Lily’s official blogger.
Kate on June 6, 2009 at 3:24 pm

This one has my vote! If only I was local…
Underdogs Unite on June 6, 2009 at 4:17 pm

Just added Amanda as an Underdog since she’s gotten such a late start! On Monday we’ll post about the contest so hopefully our other members will read the entries and vote.

Linda on June 6, 2009 at 7:09 pm

Amanda is the most gifted writer and prompted me to put “schedule a spa Saturday” at Sego Lily on this month’s to-do list. Better make up for your late uplink snafu!

Kristen on June 6, 2009 at 9:08 pm

Amanda MUST win – she needs a break from all the electric creativity in her brain! She really knows how to write and make me jealous that I was not the one on the massage table!
erin on June 6, 2009 at 9:24 pm

Amanda… you continue to amaze me with your writing… Thanks lady. I can’t wait for your next post.
Trish on June 6, 2009 at 9:24 pm

Go Amanda! I’m a big fan of all good spas…so much so that I got married at a resort with one of the best in the world! Wishing you the best of luck with the contest and many ears of wonderful spa treatments one way or another!
Jocee Bergeson on June 6, 2009 at 9:29 pm

Suz on June 6, 2009 at 9:41 pm

I have never been massaged as I am not the touchy type. Reconsidering.
Kelly on June 6, 2009 at 9:49 pm

Amanda, Thank you for transporting me to the Sego Lily. It’s been that kind of week for me too. I could almost feel the body butter drenching and the mind numbing massage. WISH I COULD BE THERE!
Erica on June 6, 2009 at 9:52 pm

Amanda is such an amazing writer. You’d be crazy not to pick her!
Amber on June 6, 2009 at 11:00 pm

Jolene on June 7, 2009 at 1:24 pm

Amanda should win hands down. She is such a talented writer, after reading her experience of the spa treatments, I can’t wait to pamper myself at Sego Lily also.

I don’t have any affiliation to any of these five bloggers, but Amanda’s was by far the most convincing, the most mouth-watering, and the most desire-inducing description of her spa service. She’s really a great writer. I vote for her since I’d rather read her posts than anyone elses.
