I've been toting around a gift card for the past eight months - $100 to use at Blue River Canyon (BRC) Day Spa in Brentwood. Never one to pay for self-indulgence, I've been hanging on to this golden ticket for the perfect occasion. Being that we just put out a brand new magazine last week, I decided it was time to pop the cork on the Canyon and head down for a massage. I was a BRC virgin, but Kitty, massage therapist extraordinaire, de-virginized me with what was the best, most stress-relieving, incredibly relaxing massage this mamacita's ever had. She was firm but not fierce, warm but not wimpy. In short, Kitty was the cat's meow. While I do not endorse any other services that BRC offers (not because I don't like them but because I've not experienced them first-hand), I proudly and most certainly put my stamp of approval on Miss Kitty at the Canyon.
