Serenity at Sea


My family loves to travel, whether it be individual or with each other. My mother, father and I took a cruise while my brother took the opportunity to ski with friends about 2 years ago. Before the Royal Caribbean Cruise I turned 21 and was so thrilled to relax on a boat with a lemon martini (my favorite) and a magazine in the shade. We made dinner plans and shore excursion plans before we started our trip. I was especially excited to swim with the dolphins for the first time in Mexico and zip line through the jungle of Jamaica! My parents while they work tirelessly always seem to have an exuberant amount of energy to play! They are really thrill seekers at heart. My father chiefly has always motivated me to live as much as I work through his own endeavors. While swimming with live sea creatures and swinging through the trees were some of the most memorable moments I have with my parents thus far, the activities left us hot and sticky with sweat, in dire need of a body nourishing refreshment.  Within the next few days while the ship traveled through the middle of the sea, my parents indulged my wish to have a treatment at the spa. I was weary of the size of the facility because on a cruise ship everything tends to deficient of a lot of room to spread out and relax with exception of the deck. None the less they had a treatment I was excited to try. I had never used a dry exfoliate before. The treatment started with a soft dry brush over my skin, followed by lush organic aromatic oils that seeped quickly into my skin with the amount of salt water that I had been playing in for the last few days it was a welcome change in moisture. The next step to this treatment was the dry scrub. The granules were finer than the normal sugar scrubs I was used to being pampered with. My skin took to it brilliantly. The polish also followed by a steam shower and a cooling cucumber body cream. I was a glowing sight to see after the dry scrub treatment. I loved the look so much of course I bought a jar for myself. I still have the rather large mason jar it is about a third full and I use it for special occasions when I want to glow. Adventure can and should always be rewarded with pampering. My philosophy is to forever keep my mind and body pristine and polished so I can remain the porcelain girl!
