I'm delighted to have a guest post to share today! It's written by none other than the fabulous Stacey Michalsky, detailing a recent little adventure we went on! Thanks for the contribution Stace!
After inviting 33 gals on an awesome ladies weekend getaway, Tegan and I were the only two lone wolves who made the quest to the good ol’ town of Stettler. The drive to this small isolated town started out a tad rushed, as we departed Calgary after 4pm and had our full evening of Spa appointments begining at 630. We are usually running on Tegs time (always late) haha and had we not had the perfect amount of gas in the tank (to the very last drop) to make it there, it could have been a heck of a lot worse. We arrived at the spa, in time to settle in an enjoy the sauna, body scrubs, massages, and facials. The evening in the old farm house B&B was capped off with pedicures and wine! Talk about the PERFECT finish to a long Friday work day!
Saturday began with a yummy breakfast prepared especially for us, consisting of yogurt, strawberries, and granola paired with a hot coffee and a quiet (and somewhat lonely) class of yoga. It was just Tegs and I, a little one on one action with the instructor and she felt like working us hard that morning, so we did a yoga boot camp with intervals. I bogged out a couple times, but we plowed through like yogi champs! It was sweet! Hard, but totally rejuvenating and we were ready to face the day! Lucky us, we ventured out to do some shopping at the little gem they call "downtown". Mix in a sushi lunch and some crafts we purchased for evening fun over vino and we were on our way back to our getaway space.
Once back at the B&B we got our tan on, painted some canvases, and hit up the hydrotherapy hot tub. All in all, we had an awesome time! Just what we needed, time to sit, chill, and reminisce in a space far enough away to forget our worries, but not too far that the drive would be would be ridiculous for a 2 nights stay.
Sunday we woke up to the smell of baked oatmeal. THIS WAS DELISH! I keep salivating thinking about it. Tegs and I had seconds, right before our yoga class...that's how good it was! {And if I ever get the recipe I will be sure to share.} We had company this time around, with one lady joining us for the second class. It was an easy restorative Yin class, and a great wrap up to our blissful weekend. Although I think we moved slower after the class, like we were in zombie mode. Maybe a little too relaxed I guess, as we didn’t leave Stettler till almost 2.
Tegs was great company (Why thank you Stace, of course you were too!), and we realized how much we have in common without really even knowing it before. Its always great to see how we evolve as we mature, and even weirder to think that this long after High School (almost ten years?!) we are all still close friends and finally back in close proximity as well. It's easy to see that we became friends for a reason a decade ago, and fast forwarding to today, our friendship is still as strong as ever!
Love
Stace & Tegs xo
