As I get older (and wiser), I am learning that I need to find new and creative ways to de-stress on my post-grad budget with friends.
Kristen is one of those friends that is down for an adventure, and loves an excuse to treat ourselves. When I reached out to Kristen about an afternoon at Red & White Spa, she was just as excited as I was for a girls afternoon at the spa!

I needed a massage (yes, NEEDED) and Kristen got a manicure and pedicure!
My massage was JUST what I needed! My massage therapist targeted the areas that helped release stress on my body, and I remember leaving the 50 minute Swedish massage feeling like I was floating on air (I literally found Kristen afterwards and told her I feel like I am floating on air). To be honest, I have never felt that way after a massage. Either the massage therapist did an amazing job or I just REALLY needed a massage....I think it's a little of both.
Kristen received a manicure and pedicure and enjoyed her experience! Kristen got a light pink polish (the classic manicure color) and it looked so clean and sharp on her nails. We kept saying how clean both my massage room and the manicure / pedicure were for a spa.
It's safe to say that the girls afternoon trip to the spa was successful! I am already trying to think of more excuses to book my next reservation at the Red & White SPA in Midtown because I think I could already go for another massage. Can't beat the prices (ESPECIALLY in NYC), great service and convenient location.
