Oh, the Joys of a Day (or Even an Hour) at a Day Spa

If you want the perfect representation of jealously, take a picture of the face of the person in conversation with someone who has just spent hours at a day spa. Check out the seething envy as that person hears about the amazing facials, the hot stone massage, the exotic scents of aromatherapy, the manicures and pedicures.

Indeed, there are few things as physically and emotionally pleasing as a visit to the day spa.

Or so Marietta Patch has heard ... we have never been to one. (So don't test the jealousy theory by telling us about your day spa adventures; write about them in the comment section below.)

We at Marietta Patch love lists, so to compile this week's list of day spas in Marietta, we checked with our Mom Council and put a few feelers out among our readers.

As always, this is just a list...more like a beginning of a conversation about day spas. We are certain that we have missed your favorite one. That's what the comment box is for, so you can reveal to the world about the absolute greatest day spa Marietta has to offer.
