We are all about bringing luxurious spa treatments to the consumer who might not otherwise indulge, and we love nothing more than hearing your stories after. Last year we asked SWD readers to share their spa stories to win a $50 Gift Card. (Stay tuned on Monday for this season’s edition!)

Reader Sarah Mangan decided to use her $50 Spa Week treatment for her for her bachelorette party. She spent the day relaxing at Jurlique’s FireSky Resort & Spa in Scottsdale, Arizona with a handful of her close girlfriends to celebrate her upcoming nuptials. Jurlique Spa has a proven record of delivering a luxury spa atmosphere to each client, and in this case, each party. The review of the spa-fete is below.

I decided to use Spa Week as the perfect time for my bachelorette party.  Instead of a night out drinking and wreaking havoc on our bodies, I thought it would be way more fun to use this as an excuse to spend the evening at a fabulous resort here in Scottsdale and get pampered. We went to Jurlique Spa at the Firesky Resort in Scottsdale. I treated each of my bridesmaids to facials and they each got massages on their own as well!  With such great deals, there was no reason to settle for just one service =).  My sister who’s my maid of honor and I each got facials and massages as well.  It was the best bachelorette weekend!  In between our services we lounged by the pool and instead of waking up dehydrated with hangovers the next day, we all felt well rested and fabulous!

I heard there’s going to be another Spa Week in (the Fall) – conveniently enough, that’s my birthday month so we’re already planning another spa party!

A wonderful time of pampering in prepration for the big day was just what this blushing bride needed. Follow in Sarah’s footsteps and make some time to treat yourself at a Jurlique Spa this week for $50. The spa has locations in New York, Arizona, and California.

We’ve managed to narrow it down to 5 winners, each of whom will be receiving a $50 Spa Week gift card toward their next spa visit. You’ll see them published here throughout the week. Here’s #3–enjoy!

In lieu of a capricious night of scandal and a painful morning hangover, the blushing bride chose to celebrate her bachelorette bash at a relaxing Arizona spa.
