Happy Feet

Pampercure Pedicure at Rejuvenex Spa

Contrary to popular belief, time does not fly.

Especially during the unbearable eight months, 240 days, or 1,280 hours until your next vacation.

An alternative to faking deadly ailments, family emergencies, and the occasional alien abduction? The Pampercure for Feet. This treatment indulges body and mind with virtual reality handset fully equipped with the sights and sounds of either the Hawaiian or Virgin Islands. Yeah, we raised an eyebrow, too.

Then we sat back in the massage chair, stuck our feet into warm, spearmint-scented waters — and in seconds we were walking along a quiet beach while our calves and feet were massaged with sea salt and hot rocks, and our toes were polished to sand-free perfection.

The digitally induced romp in the sun makes an hour tick by in what feels like minutes.

Too bad they can’t all seem to pass that way.

Available at Rejuvenex Medical Spa, 7839 Park Lane, Suite 120, across from NorthPark Center (214-363-2388 or rejuvenexspa.com).
