What will $50 buy you?
During Spa Week, it will buy you bliss.
We all mean to get to the spa, but as working moms we don’t make the time. An hour long massage or a treatment like a facial or spray tan seems like such a luxury, and at times, an unattainable one.
It shouldn’t be. We all deserve a break and a chance to be pampered.
That’s the entire point of Spa Week. It’s a reminder to make the time and take the time for yourself. It doesn’t have to cost a fortune.
I had the extreme pleasure of previewing a treatment at a spa participating near me. The Cloudmover Day Spa in Huntington Beach has won several awards and acollades for their treatments including being voted #1 on the FOX/OC Hotlist: #1 Massage 2011 & #1 Day Spa 2010. The atmosphere of the spa is warm and friendly, and it’s clear that they enjoy a loyal and steady business from their local clientele. Their clients come back because they know that the practitioners at the spa really care!
My hour long hot stone massage (with citrus back polish) was something I’ve been wanting to treat myself to for a long time. I’ve had massages before but never with heated stones. I tend to go in for the more basic (and lets be honest, less expensive) massages if and when I do make the time to go.
It’s like I’ve been having apple pie without the a la mode. What was I thinking? That hot stone massage was amazing! The warm stones unlocked all my tension. It was just the thing to soothe my many aches, pains and knotted muscles away. I won’t wait too long before trying it again.
The effects of a good massage are lasting and real. Taking the time to relax and freeing yourself of pain is worth so much. I just needed the reminder to make myself and my own well being a priority again. I’m sure that as a mom, I’m not alone in needing that prod. I’m going to find the time to take better care of myself and find ways to check out new and premium services like this more often. Want to join me? Spa Week is the perfect time to get started.

Once in a very blue moon I go- usually when I get a gc. Not nearly often enough but the medical bills eat up every spare dime.

I´ve never been to a spa. Since the school year started I now do have a little time to myself.
Spa? what’s that? With 5 kids I barely have have to blow dry my hair. Would be nice to win this
It would be great to have an hour to myself!
I never go to the spa, but to make it worse, my wife doesnt either. Her bday is this month and she could really use this!

I’ve never been but would love to!
i do not go very often maybe once a year
I have only been to the spa 2 times in my life. It’s one of those extra special things that just doesn’t fit into my budget….would love to go more often.
In my 34 years I have only been to the spa twice! Now that I realized how much time I am not giving myself, I think I need to re-evaluate things!
Thanks for the great contest!

This article seemed to only skim the surface of the benefits of yoga. Did those who practiced yoga use Ujjayi breathing? This warms up the body and allows for deeper stretching. Also, yoga improves strength not just flexibility – how does that play into pain relief? It is also pretty well known that meditation can decrease pain. Perhaps intense stretching has the same meditative qualities that yoga does and that is why they found the same amount of pain relief in both groups.
