So I’m watching this documentary on HDNet about the Baltic Coast (it comes on every Sunday morning and I’m a complete nerd for it). Anyways, they started talking about a spa treatment popular in Europe called Thalassotherapy. It uses red, green, and brown algae and they put a coating all over your body and then wrap you up in a heat blanket for 20 minutes.  The seawater mixed with the algae is supposed to flush out all the toxins and pollutants in your body and reduce cellulite and tiredness in your body.  The woman they interviewed about it believes in the healing of the sea and became a Thalassotherapist once she experienced the treatment herself.

I can’t freaking find this treatment anywhere except for Lake Austin Spa and that’s almost $200!!  So I’m on a mission. Maybe Lake Austin Spa wouldn’t be so bad because it is in town and if I head out of town then I will still pay the same amount to travel.

Here is some more information about Thalassotherapy if you’re interested:
