Celebrate the Most Wonderful Time of the Year With a Sweet Treat

Relâche, the Spa at Gaylord Opryland®, Presents the Holiday Cookie Spectacular

Nashville, Tenn.—( November 6, 2007 ) This holiday season, reward more than just your taste buds with a sweet treat. Relâche, the Spa at Gaylord Opryland® Resort & Convention Center, has a unique collection that not only smells good enough to eat but is actually good for your skin—and this treat won't pack on the pounds.

The Holiday Cookie Spectacular features yummy-smelling ingredients like brown sugar, cinnamon and other organic spices that will reveal a soft, glowing complexion. This experience includes the Oatmeal Cinnamon Facial, the Cookies & Milk Body Treatment and the Gingerbread Cookie Pedicure. This sweet experience is something any loved one will enjoy during the holidays.

"Relâche prides itself in creating unique treatments that you can't get anywhere else," said Yolanda Harris-Jackson, spa director at Gaylord Opryland. "Our Holiday Cookie Spectacular has been exclusively designed by our spa team for guests from far away and locally this holiday season. We all love to be pampered, and we all love cookies. We are combining the two to create wonderful memories for our guests."

The experience begins with the Oatmeal Cinnamon Facial, a delectable combination of warming cinnamon and organic oatmeal, which hydrates even the driest skin. Next, relax and unwind in the comfort of the Cookies & Milk Body Treatment, which uses coconut milk and warm body butter to exfoliate and hydrate skin. Finally, mothers and daughters can rest their shopping-weary feet in a hydrating foot bath. In the Gingerbread Cookie Pedicure, feet are massaged and exfoliated, cuticles are perfected, and nails are reshaped, buffed and flawlessly polished. This particular service includes delicious organic holiday cookies and is perfect for creating special family memories.

The Holiday Cookie Spectacular is only available November 15 – December 31, 2007, at Relâche. The full experience is $272 and includes:
