Just like everyone else in the city, I have been ready for summer for months now. And since it’s just around the corner, I can get ready for it with Camden Spa’s little slice of summer bliss - the cool mini spa package.
The package begins with a 60-minute Replenishing Body Therapy Treatment which consists of a stimulating Lime and Shea Butter-Based Body Scrub for a complete neck-to-toe body exfoliation. They then apply a calming Lavender-infused treatment masque for a complete de-stressing effect. This body treatment is topped off by a rich body cream blended with exotic essential oils.
Following the body treatment, your toes will be treated the renowned Camden Spa Pedicure - a deluxe pedicure treatment that is just the tops for the feet and toes!
The package is approximately 2 hours in length and is available for the month of May for $125 - you save $20!
Bring on Summer!

Recently Faisal and I took a trip to Montréal, partly for business, and partly for just pure relaxation. And what could be more relaxing than visiting a spa?
Spa Eastman Île des Soeurs, part of the Spa Eastman family, offers a wide selection of treatments in the most stylish of surroundings. Have you ever been to a spa that has its walls draped in artwork? Here you are can enjoy a beverage and the work of Céline Brossard and Hélène Tremblay, before you are led to your treatment room or salon chair. How lovely.
With 5 treatment rooms for massage and esthetique treatments, and a hair salon, you can be beautified from head to toe, all under one roof. And after your service, stock up on top spa products like MD Skincare, Decleor, Babor and La Biosthetique.
I asked Front Office Supervisor, Jean-Philipe, what the most popular service was at their facility. He said without any doubt it was massage. Am I surprised? No, not at all. With a comprehensive menu of massage styles and a team of highly qualified staff, we knew that that was the service for us.
Faisal and I were thrilled to indulge with a couple’s massage. Faisal received a combination of Swedish, Californian and Shiatsu and I was in heaven with Swedish and Shiatsu. Sylvie and Radu, our masseuse and masseur, left us divinely relaxed and wishing we lived in Montréal, so that we could visit regularly.
I highly recommend that you take a visit to one of the Spa Eastman facilities next time you are in beautiful Montréal.
