Love for Lavender

I turned 20 years old and my birthday fell on the same weekend that everyone was celebrating Easter. So being the privileged girl that I am and with the loving family that I have my brother and I flew to Dallas Tx to meet my family. My mother of course booked a beautiful brunch in a gorgeous hotel in downtown. We broke bread as a family and because this is a rarity for two college students and their parents we wanted to make merry of the entire weekend. Taking our celebrations to the roof of the hotel we where we were staying “The Jewel Dallas Texas” we exchanged Easter Baskets and my parents surprised me with an in room massage. The Jewel is not equipped with a fully accommodating spa but an on call therapist. While my parents and brother spent time by the pool I went to the room to find a massage table already set up and a plush robe and some of my comfortable cloths set up on the bed (by my mother no doubt) taking the extra time to concern yourself with details makes of an amazing treatment. As pampered girls we all want to be attended to with the utmost detail. I have my mother to thank for teaching me my stellar attention to specific facet.  While I love citrus because of its increasable aroma and skin toning principles, this was the first time I had been scrubbed with Lavender. I got undressed and laid down to find a soothing bouquet calming my stressed mind and body. The therapist was attentive and careful and it was no wonder she was doing house calls, a well trained masseuse is hard to come by.  She left me with the mostly full bottle of scrub in the spirit of cleanliness and lack of contamination.  From that point on if my weeks are epically stressful I still find myself soaking in a lavender bath or using a lavender lotion before bed.
