Five Reasons Why You Need a Spa Day | Willow Stream Spa

When it comes to pampering ourselves, do we really need an excuse? I’m self-employed- and in other words that also means, I don’t stop working. If you crave the adrenaline of getting something done, it’s easy to forget to take a breath and realise that your hair’s all tangled, you’re still in your pajamas and your nails are in need of some lovin. That’s why, I’m here to tell you the Five Reasons Why You Need a Spa Day!

To help with this article, I took the question to Instagram! I asked all of you how you justify taking a day to yourself and some of your answers are below!

Reason Number 1

Going to the Spa Improves Blood Circulation and relieves you of Muscle Aches and Pains 

You really don’t need me to tell you that a massage feels AMAZING. I took the Relaxation Massage (because I wanted to relax, and two, I have very tense shoulders). It was a 60 minute massage of smelling like chamomile *yum* and getting those nasty knots un-knotted. Not going to lie, there were a couple of times that I went ‘ouch’ but you literally feel like a noodle after.

Reason Number 2

Because sometimes we have to love ourselves – The Vancouverite Blog 

Self care and self love is key. I like to reward myself after executing an especially challenging project at work or when I help to produce amazing results for a cause and story I care about – Rachel Thexton 

Thanks for this input ladies! And how very true this is! Not only is it important physically and mentally to take a breather once in a while, it helps destress and unravel the mind. I don’t know about you but there are times where when I’m drowning in work and can’t seem to get out of ‘writers block’ or if the most creative idea I’m having involves stacking paper plates for a picture.. maybe it’s time to take a break.

Reason Number 3

I usually have my pampering spa day just before a ‘big’ thing (you know how worked up I was prepping for the Lsat…). And research has proven that we all need breaks and rewards to be more efficient in our work, can’t argue with those findings right… – Vuitton Chan 

Haha, I love how you did your research!! There’s totally truth in this. Sometimes the best thing to do just before giving it all you’ve got is to reconnect with yourself. What better way to do that than with a spa day being with your body and relaxing your mind!

One of the best things I experienced when I was prancing around Willow Stream Spa was the Jacuzzi. Oh my god. The Jacuzzi is placed in the outdoor terrace with a gorgeous view  of the city. It’s kind of nice hearing the hustle and bustle of the city but knowing you’re away from it all. It’s like being Hannah Montana – living two lives, one in the city and one in a jacuzzi.

Reason Number 4

You need to plan a birthday party that doesn’t involve getting drunk and the morning purge.

Sorry for the descriptive nature haha but drinking too much beer has to come out one way or another the next day.

How about planning a spa day for the girls the next time a birthday comes around? The Willow Stream Spa just redid their Steam Room and holaayyy, don’t wear your contacts in there haha! It’s so warm and just opens up those pores and gets rid of impurities.

The experience shower is a fun one as well. I was having some fun trying out the various buttons in the shower but boy, was it an experience haha. (see what I did there?) And when you’re done, you can top off the day getting manicures done as well!

Reason Number 5

And who needs a reason haha. I think it’s just harder to find the time! – Ave Camilla 

Haha very true. Sometimes a spa day or date is just what we need to appreciate being with another person. Speaking of spa dates, for you couples out there with conflicting schedules and no time to just BE together, why not spend some moolah on a spa date where you can get the Couples Experience package at Willow Stream *winks*

One thing to note, and something I still never learn is that,

You should probably eat something substantial before going and prepare to feel extremely tired after that.

Though you could chill out and fall asleep in the Resting Lounge 😉
