After months on the road pretty much nonstop, I was definitely ready for rejuvenation and a new look - and what better place than Hot Springs to transform myself?

Of course there are many spas in Hot Springs, but I chose Andrea Rose Day Spa because I always prefer to patronize owner-run businesses.
I was looking forward to everything but having my "before" picture taken!
The first order of business is to get relaxed. Here's my masseur, Stephen Lake. I was not only impressed with the quality of his massage, but with his giving spirit. When I asked him what made him get into this profession, he said it's one that provides therapeutic benefits to both the client and himself - he's actually had clients cry with relief when the tension they'd been carrying around had been released by his expertise. He really enjoys the help he can provide his clients.
Moving on to the facial, Gloria begins with 2 cleanses while warm steam swirls around, exfoliation, extraction, then she uses a device that creates a layer of ozone between the skin and the device that kills bacteria on the skin surface. After a gentle face and neck massage, the masque is applied and you just lie there and relax to the sounds of soothing music. When that's removed, toner and moisturizer is applied. Only reason I'm not grinning ear to ear here is only due to the masque I was wearing, because believe me, I was pretty blissed out by this time!
My face feels radiant and smooth - my body is totally relaxed and knot-free, and my hair looks healthy again! I love the "new" me!
From left to right: Heather Geeo, Operations Manager, will coordinate your day of pampering, keeping you hydrated and fed with Gloria's mom's delicious homemade cookies; Gloria Hansen, Owner, Aesthetician and basically Jill-of-all-beauty-trades, can provide any number of wonderful treatments; Chana Caylor can make you love your hair again after she waves her magic scissors and brushes.


Gloria has created a wonderful atmosphere here, consisting of three "Ladies of the Court" - charming 1800's Victorian row houses with an interesting and colorful history. The one on the far left is The Rose Cottage, a comfy 2-bedroom unhosted bed & breakfast - ask about Elizabeth, one of their more "ethereal" guests here. Can you guess one former use of these houses by their names, "Miss Kitty" and "Miss Scarlett?"

Malia's 2 cents: I knew my insticts had chosen the right spa as soon as I walked in the door and was so warmly greeted by Heather. She later told me she has worked in other spas, but had never experienced the like-family and team-player atmosphere found here. She said clients leave as friends, so the return customers and their word of mouth testimonials are their best advertisement. And this made-over Malia highly recommends that you make Andrea Rose Day Spa a "must-do" in Hot Springs!
