Elmwood Spa, Toronto, ON

Rather than buy each other things for our birthdays, Gord and I instead treat each other to the spa.  My birthday was at the end of July but it's been a busy summer so today we celebrated today at the Elmwood Spa (Yonge Street/Elm Street).  We've been there before many times and like it.

We started off with "water therapies".

Then we had a couples bamboo massage.  I'd never had one before.  Hot bamboo sticks are used in addition to hands.  It felt like a hot stone massage ... it was nice :)  Valentino did a great job and I was so relaxed afterwards.

My bed was the closest one

Because it was my birthday celebration, I was pleasantly surprised to get a 20% discount in the boutique (I bought shampoo and conditioner).

We'll be back!
