About a week ago, I had seen on Facebook a discount code for tickets to Spa Night Out. I wasn’t exactly sure what Spa Night Out was, but I saw that it was going to be at Burke Williams and there was a gift bag, so I figured why not! I was just hoping for a better experience than I had at Pamper Me Fabulous.
And boy oh boy was this an amazing experience!
First of all, there were some amazing hosts (and they didn’t pay me or give me free tickets to say this, these are my own opinions). The event was hosted by Eventbrite and Spaphile. I was already familiar with Eventbrite. They are an online ticketing service that I already love. I’ve bought a ton of tickets through them, and we used them for tickets for the screening of my twitter documentary. But Spaphile has now become one of my new favorite things. They are a membership program that connects spas to customers by offering discounts! I love spas and I love discounts! I did buy a membership after this event because I have already planned a bunch of places that I want to try with my discount.
Anyway, back to the event. There were a ton of free things to check out. And by free, I actually mean free!
My first stop was the mini-manicure/polish change station.
I decided on the OPI color Jade Is The New Black.
I almost never get my nails done because I always seems to chip so fast. But since this was free, I had to do it! And I have to say that after 3 days, I don’t have any chips yet!
My next stop on my spa journey was to the moisturizing hand massage station.
(sorry for the bad photos, I only had my iPhone with me)
The hand massage was wonderful, and the lotion that was used smelled delicious! Plus, I had a very nice chat with the woman who was doing the massage, so that was fun.
Finally, I got to have my mini-massage. With the ticket I bought I wasn’t guaranteed it, but I put myself on the waitlist as soon as I arrived, and I managed to snag one of the very last mini-massage appointments of the evening! It was wonderful. The massage therapist asked me which areas I would like him to focus on, and since I spend so much time hunched over a computer, iPhone, or iPad; I asked for him to focus on my neck, shoulders, and back. It was so relaxing, and pretty long for a mini-massage. It was about 25 minutes!
Finally, it was time for me to head out. I stopped by the front desk to pick up my gift bag (which was filled with so many amazing goodies!).
And the woman behind the desk said I also had this waiting for me.
When I checked in for the event, there was a fishbowl to put business cards in to. They had a raffle, and of course I entered, but I never win so I wasn’t expecting anything.
Turns out, I won the grand prize!!!
I get to come back to Burke Williams in West Hollywood to have a free facial! I’m so excited for this!
Also in the gift bag were some passes to come back to the spa and enjoy some discounted treatments. I will totally be taking advantage of those. While I was waiting for my massage, I was reading the spa menu and they have a lot of treatments that I’d love to try.
Overall, I have to say that this was one of the best evenings I’ve had in a long time. I was coming off a bit of a funk before this event, and this seemed to have turn everything around!
Thanks again to Eventbrite and Spaphile for hosting this event. If you see another event that they are hosting, I highly recommend getting a ticket for it (I know I’ll be!)!
