How I Beat Jetlag With a Spa Day at Penelope and the Beauty Bar

Thank you Penelope and the Beauty Bar for partnering on this post and graciously providing a RENEW treatment and spa day. All thoughts are my own!

I spent much of my summer and now into fall traveling. Between weddings on Eastern Standard Time and our honeymoon in Amsterdam and Greece, my internal clock was a mess. I couldn't tell 3am from 9pm or 1pm from 11pm and every time I boarded a plane crossing time zones, jet lag would hit me once more.

I've always been one to struggle with time zone changes and I absolutely hate that. Which is why I was so excited to discover what I have deemed the perfect way to beat jet lag (disclaimer: this worked for me, but I am by no means an expert on jet lag and this is not a professional medical opinion.)

Following our honeymoon in Greece, I was invited by Penelope and the Beauty Bar to enjoy a spa day with a full relaxing RENEW treatment that included a full body exfoliation, followed by a soothing body wrap and concluding with a customized European facial. 

Completely exhausted after hours of traveling, I was almost tempted to not leave my house and just sleep the day away instead of heading downtown to the spa. But every bit of energy to get myself to Penelope and the Beauty Bar was 1000 percent worth the effort (if not more).

Located inside the historic Fairmont Olympic Hotel in downtown Seattle, the luxurious Penelope and the Beauty Bar customizes treatments to meet individual needs and uses the oh-so-luxurious Biologique Recherche from Paris and OMOROVITCZA from Hungary for skin care services.

I was greeted upon arrival to Penelope and invited to a private changing area to transition into a robe for my spa day. After donning both robe and slippers, I was escorted into a relaxing room before my treatment and offered water, tea or champagne. Although bubbly was tempting, I was still quite dehydrated from travel and opted for water pre-treatment.

While I have been lucky enough enjoy facials quite often, this was my first time experiencing both the full body exfoliation and soothing body wrap. My skin following all three was left incredibly soft, nourished and radiant. I will absolutely indulge in all again.

Following my spa day and treatment I felt renewed, relaxed and reinvigorated and my skin was glowing and luminous.  A visit to Penelope and the Beauty Bar for a spa day is the perfect cure for jet lag. Seriously, I highly recommending booking an appointment. Thanks Penelope and the Beauty Bar!
