We've got an escape that's perfect to get rid of those winter blues!
Spring is here, and we all know what that means...cute shoes and pretty polish! If you're ready to shed the winter clothes and snow boots and show off that newly massaged skin and those freshly painted toes, just head into historic downtown Holly to Elements Day Spa. Chances are, you'll be greeted by owner, massage therapist and nail technician Jenny Stilwell. Stillwell grew up in Holly and after some encouragement from her sister-in-law, she decided to open her own business. She said it's "a little more special to me for that reason." January marked her fifth year in business. Her brothers, Brad and Wade Stilwell, helped her do all of the construction work inside. The empty shell soon turned into a a very calm, quiet and serene …
