the last year of my 20's

Last Friday started the beginning of the last year of my 20's.

Gosh, I feel old. This time next year I'll be 30...and I feel like that's gonna come so fast. I still remember my 21st birthday like it was yesterday. Can we rewind time please?? They say "30's are the new 20's". I guess I'll soon find out. But in the meantime, I'll enjoy being 29 for the next 362 days...


And what better way to celebrate my birthday than with a nice dinner date with my son and boyfriend on Friday followed by a fun-filled day on Saturday, including a spa date with my BFF and being surrounded by my closest friends and family for dinner and drinks. I'm feeling incredibly blessed and happy!

mommy needs some rejuvenation.

Every girl deserves and needs a spa day once in a while.

A time to get pampered, relaxed, and rejuvenated. 

A sweet escape from reality. 

My wonderful honey surprised me with a massage gift yesterday...

To a spa that I've been dying to go to for a long time.

Burke Williams Day Spa in San Francisco.

I was beyond ecstatic.

I was in dire need of a massage. 

It was above and beyond my expectations.

The amenities, the services, the massage...amazing!!!

My massage was 50 minutes.

But as soon as she was done, I was longing for more time.

Just 5 more minutes, please!

"OMG" and "Wow" kept running in my head.

Pure relaxation from head to toe!

Thank you, Frankie!

The best way to end my spa experience for the day...

The Quiet Room.

It is what it is, no need to explain.

I sat in there for 30 minutes...

and for the first time in a really long time, I read a magazine.

InStyle magazine, one of my faves.

Front to back, no interruptions.

Peace and quiet. I could hear a pin drop.

Best spa experience ever!

Thank you, honey!

You are the best. I love you!
