Couples Spa Day


Leah : Did you look at the spa's menu yet? I think I'm going to get the Marine Odyssey. It comes with a massage, a seaweed facial treatment, a sea mud body wrap, and a mani-pedi.

Doug : Can you tell me why I'm here again? This place is for women, not men.

Leah : Trust me, Doug, when the day is over you will feel like a new man. Everyone, even men, can appreciate a little pampering from time to time.

Doug : I'm not so sure about that. I mean, what pleasure can I get from being wrapped in seaweed or covered in mud? It sounds pretty gross, if you ask me.

Leah : Well, the seaweed treatment will give your face some micronutrients that promote a youthful glow and the mud helps remove toxins from the skin. You'll be the picture of health after one of these.

Doug : And a "mani-pedi," as you called it?

Leah : believe it or not, people judge you on your hands-clean, trimmed fingernails and soft looking skin make a better first impression and it feels nice,too. You can skip the pedicure, since you don't wear open-toed shoes much.

Doug : I already know how good a massage can be. I guess since we're here already I might as well get a few treatments.

Leah : Do you see anything on the menu that interests you?

Doug : Hmm.. I think I'll get the Ultimate Package. That'll cover me from head to toe.

Leah : Just a few treatments, huh?
