I’m a beach girl. I love a getaway to the ocean. My idea of a perfect beach vacation involves planting myself under an umbrella on the sand and watching the waves while my brain works on pieces of a story.

If you could design your perfect spa break, what would it look like? Think setting, treatments, the playlist and of course, what's on the reading list?
