So I’ve been dreaming about going to the spa recently… It’s bad timing since Steve just lost his job, but a girl’s got needs! It’s been a long time since I had a day at the spa. My sister-in-law just got married and I was a bridesmaid, so I got my hair and nails done, but that’s just not the same! The hair lasted one night, the nails lasted a few days… and it was a busy, busy day–not so much a relaxing one, haha.
The last time I had a massage was right after Ryan was born. My wonderful husband sent me for a full spa day with a spa voucher so I could get out of the house for some peace and quiet. Even though I had to wear nursing pads and still leaked all over–haha, no more embarrassing moments as a mom–it was amazing.
So… what exactly do I want? I love a good manicure, but pedicures are the best! You women that don’t like your feet massaged… crazy! It’s like the best thing in the world. And the deluxe or premium ones? Where they use a scrub and maybe even a wax? I’m drooling over here.
A massage is obviously a must at a spa day… and I don’t think anyone needs a back massage as much as mamas! Carrying around the little ones all day, getting all hunched over when you nurse, ouch. Oh my gosh, I can feel my upper back muscles tensing, just thinking about it.
I’ve had a facial ONCE. When Steve sent me to the spa. I thought I’d hate it–I mean, someone touching your FACE? Weird. But it was one of my favorite parts and oddly enough it wasn’t weird at all. It felt wonderful and they didn’t just do my face–they massaged all the way down my arms and did my hands too.
Now we’re in trouble. Now I desperately want (no, NEED?!) a massage and a pedicure. Maybe one of those daily deal sites will have a deal here soon for cheap spa breaks <– yep, can you even imagine that? A whole weekend of SPA?! Who else is in heaven right now? Just gotta close your eyes and imagine 😉
What’s your favorite part of going to the spa?
*Disclosure: while I received compensation from wahanda.com for this post, I do need a spa day, somebody tell my husband!
OMG!! Everything you just mentioned I have been needing one horribly bad!!! I have never had a facial though but it sounds amazing I think the government should pay for all moms to get a spa day atleast once a year lol

Having just received a pedicure this very day, I stand behind what you’re saying here! 😉

With 3 kids under the age of 4, a spa day once in awhile is REQUIRED for me to keep my sanity. If I lose myself in my kids and exhaust myself, I am good to no one (tell that to your husband! LOL)
A few weeks ago I got my hair cut and colored. I think in a couple more weeks I am going to get my fingers done. Then when summer starts I’ll get my feet done. We need the rejuvenation as moms!!

I get a massage every month, but I really need to have a FULL spa day one of these days!

I hate having my feet touched! I think it’s mostly because I am incredibly ticklish!

My girlfriend and I (I have a 3 1/2 year old and she has a 2 1/2 year old) just had a complete spa day a weekend or so ago. IT WAS AMAZING. An hour massage, an hour European facial, pedicure, manicure, hair styling, and lunch. It was absolutely amazing!! I felt so completely relaxed, even if when I got home to chaos it all went away, but for those 6 hours, it was awesome.

YES Please I’m in need as well.

I have NEVER been to a spa and really want to. Sounds so nice and relaxing!

I LOOOOOVE your wedding rings!!!!!!! I’ll give you a mani pedi and a massage and you give me your rings! WIN!

Em…I’m in…since I have not used the voucher I have AND for the fact I am going to somewhere warm, you can have it back and book a massage for yourself. Next time, I’ll go with!

I can’t afford a spa day, but you have given me an idea. I think I will host a spa party at my house soon for me and my girlfriends. I think each person should be in charge of a different “treatment.” My best friend’s mom is a reflexologist, I wonder if she would come over and give massages? lol

Excellent post. I used to be checking constantly this blog and I’m inspired! Extremely useful information specifically the last phase 🙂 I deal with such information much. I was seeking this particular information for a very lengthy time. Thank you and best of luck.
