As crazy as things can get in your normal life, it's important to not forget about what really matters: you. If you don't take care of yourself, no one else will. Be your own advocate and do something that you won't regret.
The best way to treat yourself is to have a spa experience. You deserve some pampering, after all. So, we've put together a list of our favorite spas in North Carolina. The kind of places you're willing to travel to for the experience.
Of course, feel free to bring a friend or spouse. Heck, there's even a mini-me facial for the child or teen in your life.
Get your neck pillow, it's time for relaxation.
One of the most popular spots to soak up the ocean resides in Koru Village. This experience can be done as a girl's trip, while on vacation with your family in the Outer Banks, or as a solo getaway of rejuvenation. Below is a list of services available at their spa.

There are massage treatments that start at 50 minutes and go up to 80. Prices range from $115 up to the couple's massage at $320. Some include deep tissue, others use a Swedish technique. We shouldn't forget about the heated sea stones used in the Fire Stone massage!
Maybe you just need someone to pay attention to your face. That can go with a massage or without. There are two facials to choose from, the first is called Spiral Up and it's an 80-minute facial costing $165. Spiral Up is focused on sun damage and premature aging.
The second is Custom Eminence, which lasts 50 minutes for $115. It's a custom facial because the organic treatments are based on your skin type. Then comes cleansing, exfoliation, and moisturizing.
