Iceland: Blue Lagoon

I have to say, this was probably my absolute favorite part of our trip to Iceland.

No contest.

If I could have just spent the whole trip to Iceland bouncing from geothermal spa to geothermal spa, I probably would have been an exceptionally happy and relaxed Jenna.

As you're driving from Reykjavik to Blue Lagoon, be sure to take some time to look at the landscape. The mossy lava fields look like dark, puffy clouds, billowing far and wide.

We've arrived! First of all, it's quite the unusual sensation to take a dip in steamy, toasty-toasty mineral-rich water with freezing atmospheric temperatures. After getting in the water, I never felt cold; there was, however, little ice crystals freezing to my nose and eyelashes.

Despite the fact that you were sharing this geothermal pool with so many other people, it never felt crowded - even at peak hours. Everyone was very friendly and respectful of each others' space.

The package we purchased included their classic mineral mask, a special algae mask, and a lip balm treatment. All of which made my skin feel amazing. Honestly, I don't think my skin had ever felt so smooth, nor has it remained blemish free for so long.

Closing your eyes and lounging in the "hot spots" throughout the spa was one of the most relaxing feelings ever; and it certainly didn't hurt to have a glass of wine from the swim-up bar.

For me, it was really one of those life-changing experiences that I'm probably going to look back on as a "best day ever" type thing.

Someday I would definitely want to come back for my honeymoon or something, hands down.
