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!

{I need a Quiet Room in my house.}

Thank you, honey!

You are the best. I love you!

me-time!

I'm currently a stay-at-home mom and am loving every moment of it. Since becoming a stay-at-home mom, we have become attached to the hip and have both experienced a sense of separation anxiety. Of course like any parent (stay-at-home or not), I need a little "me-time" after being with my son every day, 24 hours a day...


I was finally able to steal an hour and a half of well-deserved "mommy time" yesterday. I got in my car, drove to the nearest mall and enjoyed my time walking around and shopping. I didn't have to struggle with a car seat and a stroller. I didn't have to push that stroller around or constantly tell my son "Don't touch that!" I was able to grab more than 3 items of clothing to the dressing room and take my sweet time trying them on. I didn't have to deal with an impatient toddler for that hour and a half. It was just me, myself, and I. It was probably the most peaceful time I've had to myself in a long time. No anxiety or stressing out! I even indulged in an iced coffee from Starbucks. 


It's so important to have some personal time once in a while. As much as I love my son, he drives me crazy at times. It was so nice to get away and regain a little bit of what I used to enjoy so much before I had him...even if it was for an hour and a half.


Now it's back to the craziness... ;)
