In the whirlwind of the festive season, it’s easy to get caught up in the ‘buy and spend’ frenzy. This year, Bay Spa wants to shift the focus. Let’s talk about something that truly matters – your wellbeing. Amidst all the festivities, I encourage you to take a moment for yourself, to pause and indulge in some well-deserved self-care. Remember, it’s not just about the gifts and the glitter; it’s about feeling good, both inside and out.  As a working mother myself, I understand how Christmas can become a whirlwind of tasks and commitments so here are a few self-care tips that I’ve found invaluable, and I hope you will too: 

Indulge in Relaxation: Why not take an hour for a relaxing massage at Bay Spa? I know sometimes it’s hard to feel you can find the time but believe me, the knots in your neck will thank you and you’ll leave rejuvenated and ready to enjoy the festive cheer. Connect: Spend quality time with loved ones, even if it’s just a quick coffee – you can’t underestimate the joy that friends bring! Stay Active and Mindful: Incorporate activities that keep you moving and bring you joy. A walk, yoga, or any exercise you love can significantly uplift your spirit and get those endorphins going. Restorative Rest: Make sure to get plenty of rest. Your body and mind will thank you for it. Beauty as Self-Care: Take some time for a beauty treat, like getting your nails done. It’s not just about looking good, but feeling good too. And don’t worry, everything will still be there when you’re done, and you’ll be more equipped to handle it with a fresh mind (and fresh nails!) Enjoy it!: Sometimes I’ve found that Christmas has passed, and I haven’t been mindful enough to appreciate it, cherish every moment!
