Aging. It’s an inevitable process for everyone, and yet it is the one we fight hardest against. We fight our hair with dyes and we fight our skin with creams. Supplements come in every colour of the rainbow for every organ in our body. There’s magnesium for the bones and fish oil for the brain. We swap a little bacon for a little bottle at breakfast.
You’re floating. Everything around you is soft, light, breezy. Your skin is glowing, your hair is silky. Never before have you felt so fresh, energised or optimistic. You are the queen of smelling good and feeling great. Invincible, untouchable; better than a million bucks. Stress? Pain? Tension? Never heard of them.
At some point during their busy lives, 80% of adults would have experienced back pain. In fact, this Canadian health study found that millions of Canadians, a significant portion of the population, have back problems. We’re all guilty of picking up things that are too heavy for us (like boxes or kids) or slouching so low that our body sets like concrete.
Are you hearing the jingle of bells? Decorations are going up, lights are starting to twinkle, and Westfield is busier than usual. It’s definitely beginning to look, smell and sound like Christmas.
Surviving Christmas is no small task. It’s November, but people already have trees in their windows. You know ‘tis the season when the lights start going up. Time has sailed by this year, waving serenely from a yacht while we run around frantic with work deadlines and seasonal campaigns and gift shopping, card writing, treat making, event planning, holiday organising, and everything in between.
For a lot of people, mornings are a chore. As if getting out of bed isn’t difficult enough, the days can be packed with meetings, errands, conferences, presentations and all kinds of other adult responsibilities. Mornings can be the most stressful time of the day because if one little thing goes wrong – the alarm doesn’t go off, you run out of milk, the car won’t start – then the rest of the day follows suit.
So you want to surprise them with a couples massage ? Cute! And totally romantic (if that’s what you were going for). Couples massages are not exclusive to romantic partners – you can buy them for you and your BFF, make a mother-daughter bonding session out of it, or buy it for another couple entirely (like as a wedding gift).
Spring has finally sprung, and with the new season comes a host of new opportunities to better yourself. As the weather is warming up, it’s the perfect time to shift into the next gear of self-care. Just like our previous blog about mindfulness exercises , this time we’ll be focusing on a bunch of different things you can introduce into your self-care routine.
The Day of Dad is just around the corner, and so we’ve assembled this Father’s Day gift guide to cover as many wonderful types of dads out there as possible. Reminder: if he isn’t the materialistic type, we’ve arranged some special Father’s Day massage gift vouchers for the most relaxing day they could have!
