This One is for All the Girls Out There

As much as I love Christmas, this is the season that is pretty stressful. On top of taking care of the kids, the house and work, you have parties to attend, decorating to do, getting your house ready for visiting family and friends or possibly packing a bag to head out of town to visit family, food to prepare, shopping for friends and family, that extra hair appointment, the dog to the groomer, taking the kids to see Santa, attending a festival, and the list just keeps on growing. . .Calgon take me away!!! (Remember that commercial? LOL)

Are you out of breath just thinking about that, well if so, maybe a spa day is exactly what you need. I mean, seriously, who couldn't use a little pampering right now? Who has had time, any time, to focus on yourself? I realize it is another item to add to your schedule, but sometimes taking a little "me" time is exactly what you need to get rid of some stress and put a smile back on your face.

One of my favorite places to go for exactly that reason is the Olympus Spa in Tacoma (or their 2nd location in Lynnwood). If there are any boys reading this, this is why you were excluded -but keep reading because the next paragraph gives you an option as well. This is a women ONLY spa. So girls, grab a girlfriend and go enjoy the different pools, schedule a massage or (my favorite) a body scrub and just let yourself be pampered. Enjoy a light lunch there and then go lounge in the heated energy rooms and take a nap or read a magazine (like, does anyone still buy those anymore since it seems no one has time to read them?) If this is making you dream (or drool), here is the website to go check it out. https://olympusspa.com/ You will find where to make reservations, as well as get prices and locations. Don't forget to check out their coupon too. You could stop in Tacoma on the way home for a little shopping and dinner and make it a full day!

OK, but that is in Pierce County. What if you don't have time to go that far or can't get away for 6 hours? Radiant Massage.XYZ located here in Bremerton offers Swedish and Deep Tissue Massages and much more. Even better they have a Holiday Sale going on right now, so make sure you ask when you call and make your appointment. For more information, visit their website at: http://radiantmassage.xyz/

Anyway you look at it, whether your are traveling or staying at home for the holidays, not matter how much you love the holidays, they do come with a certain amount of stress. What a great gift you can give to yourself before the holidays so that you can feel less stress during the holidays. Don't you deserve it?

As always, I have your back (like the pun?), so make sure you keep checking out my blogs. Next week, I will give you a few suggestions to give to out-of-town family and friends to either show them flavors around the area or to suggest that they can go and check out so you can get in a nap or maybe even join them.

Bye for now and see you next week!
