Perfect Pampering Places in South Walton

We all love to relax on the beach, but sometimes a soothing massage, invigorating facial, or moisturizing body treatment calls our name and we must answer. With the 2013 busy season right around the corner, most of us have been working hard. So take a moment, kick back and relax at some of SoWal’s greatest places to get pampered.

For the Health of it is a little organic market and juice bar in the heart of Blue Mountain Beach. Known for healthy juices, produce, and smoothies, it’s like a farmer’s market there everyday. Pampering yourself should start from the inside. While in for your massage, take a shot of ginger to increase circulation, grab a fresh organic juice, or indulge in a smoothie, like my favorite, the “Wake me up before you Cocoa,” which boasts bananas, strawberries, dates, cocoa powder, and coconut water. Feeling under the weather? The “Heat Wave” shot boosts the immune system for an instant pick me up. For the Health of it has brought together elements needed to make you feel good from the inside out. Stop by to shop or call for a massage appointment: (850) 267-0588.
