Welcome to the Jungle

It’s a jungle out there. From your brutal ride to the office on Muni to twelve-hour workdays followed by evenings full of back-to-back events. What’s a tired girl to do?

Get back to the basics at Tru. More specifically, sign up for the spa’s Jungle Love treatment in the brand new Tropical Rainforest Room.

Start out by nuding up and covering your privates Tarzan-style with a tiny towel. Then kick back as your weary body is exfoliated with a coconut and kukui nut concoction. After a quick rinse, a delicious-smelling warm mixture of papaya, mango, pineapple, and banana is slathered all over you, then deep conditioner is applied to your tresses. Catch some z’s while you are left alone to steam to soothing drumbeats in the background.

Next comes the rain: a perfectly temperate water which doesn’t just drizzle — it’s a full-on downpour. Drag your weary body to the insanely realistic waterfall, which is just steps away, and rinse off.

Sadly, the experience is short-lived. Then it’s back to the daily grind.

But, hey, that’s the nature of the beast.
