Mothers Day Special Offer

Celebrating and honouring Motherhood

Leave a reply

Celebrating + honouring Motherhood is a beautiful pleasure we have to give + receive to special women in our lives. It is a day where self care is highly suggested with valid reason.

The meaning of being a mother is endless. A mother is a protector, disciplinarian and friend. A mother is a selfless, loving human who must sacrifice many of their wants and needs for the wants and needs of their children.

Through all of this self care for a mother is not the highest priority and when they finally get a chance to stop + fill their cup they replenish those stores of mental, emotional, and physical energy. A spa day will do all of this and more.

We offer a quiet + tranquil space with the options of body + facial treatments and massage and a range of spa treatment packages to choose from, a spa day is the perfect gift for yourself or your loved one on a day that is all about you/them.

Hot coconut hair treatments, exfoliation, sea scrubs and illuminating face massages can be found in a handful of our packages and we have a large selection of times from 1-5 hour stays. Our gift vouchers are a beautiful gift to encourage self care when your loved one is ready to take time out for themselves.

This mothers day remember to give yourself your time out too. We love a handful of self care tips at home that are quick and easy.

Sit in the morning
The morning offers a great opportunity to practice your mindfulness. The day is just beginning, it is nice and quiet, and you may have a few moments to yourself. Instead of getting out of bed and rushing through a morning routine, I like to sit for a few minutes. I think about being thankful for the day and just let myself be in the present.

Spend time outside
Being outdoors is another way to get some energy back into you. You don’t need to go far. If you have some nice trails, parks, or green spaces, beaches, they can make the perfect environment for getting in touch with nature and for connecting with the present moment

Create something
Spend some time doing what you enjoy and just be in the moment of creation. Whether you like to draw, paint, build, or take photographs, your creative side is mindful by its very nature. As an additional point, the practice of mindfulness can encourage creativity.

Chat with mates
Mate dates are our favourite self care tip. The laughs, the deep chats, the dancing… organise a brunch with your besties and if everyones time tables don’t add up, just book it for a few months so it is locked in. Technology makes it so much easier to feel close to your mates far away. Book in a group facetime with a wine or cup of tea and it will feel like they have just popped over.
Or better yet – book you and your mates in for an afternoon at the dayspa. Relax and unwind around those who fill you with love.

Self Care Tips

self careSelf care…do you make it a priority?

Self care is a key ingredient to maintain a healthy relationship with yourself as it produces positive feelings, relaxes your state and boosts your confidence. Self care is necessary to remind yourself that your needs as an individual matter and are important. Self- care ensures that you stay sharp mentally, motivated, positive and healthy.

Self care is definitely becoming a buzzword of society and it’s with good reason. I personally am so glad it’s something that everyone is becoming more conscious of. One of the reasons many of us become Beauty or Spa Therapists is because we want to help others with their own personal self care. It’s rewarding for us to be able to see the emotional and physical changes time out for relaxation can create. 

With life being so ‘on’ and ‘go, go, go’ all the time, it’s no wonder we are feeling more stressed, more anxious, more busy and more neglected than ever. So many of us wear many hats every day. From parenting, to working, to friendships and relationships, there’s usually always somewhere to be or do. Unless we create space. 

And as the old saying goes, you can’t pour from an empty cup!! Taking time out for self care is not selfish, it’s selfless. It’s done to help us ensure we are functioning at our best. Self care also doesn’t need to be over complicated. It can be simple things repeated on a daily basis or it can be a weekly or monthly ritual we create. 

Some of our favourite ways to enjoy some self care are: 

  • A beautiful soak in a warm bath. Add a favourite or mood enhancing bath soak such as our Pure Fiji Coconut Lime Bath Soak. Pop some candles on (safely) and grab a book for some extra relaxation
  • Grab your favourite cup of tea and sip away in your favourite spot outside in nature. Take in the environment around you, particularly if you have birds singing or the ocean near by. 
  • Wake up an hour earlier than everyone else, meditate and practice a simple yoga or stretching session. 
  • Enjoy a weekly or monthly massage/facial/spa visit. This is definitely our favourite 😉 but there’s definite positives to enjoying a treatment regularly for both your mind and body. 
  • Journal your thoughts. Go for a walk and sit down and journal about how you are feeling right then and there. Remind yourself what you are grateful for and pop all your current feelings down on paper. It feels good to get them out 

Whatever makes you feel good and you enjoy doing is what self care is all about. It doesn’t need to be complicated, but it should be prioritised. Make sure you even mark out some time in your diary for self care, you won’t regret it.
