Midtown Direct Home Town Fun Awaits

February 8, 2013 by Leave a Comment

midtown direct home and spa celebrating 300x256 Midtown Direct Home Town Fun AwaitsValentines Day is nearly here and should you happen to find yourself as a single woman(like me), living in Millburn-Short Hills or any of our midtown direct towns for that matter, I suggest you treat yourself well on this holiday. I know I will! Have some fun taking some time out to experience something new, like reflexology or aromatherapy, or some other treatment you can enjoy close to your midtown direct home.

Choose one or choose them all, make your reservations, and have the time of your life embracing your status, living in a midtown direct home, and being your own Valentine!

If you have a home in Short Hills, a short trip to the Hilton Short Hills eforea spa will have you grinning from ear to ear as you explore a full range of services or a packaged “journey” of experiences. The “essentials” journey delivers instant, noticeable results, while the “escape” journey nourishes your body with organic plants and substances and healing practices. Men can take their own “men’s journey” with the end result of balance and restoration.

You might also want to call Massage Envy on  Morris Turnpike, as they offer a LONG massage (an hour and a half) and Sugar Foot Scrub Therapy to boot, which may very well be a better solution to a sweet treat this Valentines Day than chocolate.

If you live in a Chatham home, you may want to stop by Chatham Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa. You’ll find a full range of pleasures, from stone massage and facials to waxing (Did I just call that a pleasure? ugh). And, if you happen to be part of a couple, they do offer special, private sanctuaries just for couples. I must mention that they are offering Valentines Specials, as well, which you can see by clicking here.

Another favorite that I had to list is a bit farther away, in Denville NJ, but the Urban Muse is truly an enchanting place. Called “The Best Day Spa in Morris County” you will find the expected list of traditional spa treatments, even including mudwraps, mixed with holistic offerings of Reiki, Angel Readings, Nutritional/Life Coaching and Intuitive Counseling which may come in handy this Valentines as you, like me, choose to love yourself.
