Halloween fun at Spa Essencia

Decorating for this season is always fun with a bit of mischief weaved in too. We have three pumpkins on display . One is a light, wooden grapevine design and the other a much remarked upon blown glass beauty of green and apricot hues. the third holds a selection of teas for our guests and staff to keep warm when they come in out of the wind.
Our headless maniquin is posing as a witch in her white robe with a black tierra. The flowers are now purple and brown; dried versions of the bright farmers market varieties that we enjoyed all summer.  An oil lamp graces our outside front entry for soft lighting, as the shadow of the night creeps up all too soon as winter approaches.

Autumn blowing in across the great waters

I love this last blast of warm wind that comes to the islands; before the real chill follows to settle into our bones. Our private steam room has been popular this last week as people adjust to the change in temperature and try to stave off the colds that can come up when we forget to layer up for the chillly weather.
