Creating a Soothing Experience with Soothe {In Home Massage Service}

March 16, 2015 by Danielle 2 Comments

I am most definitely all for finding a little time for oneself to relax and regroup. As a busy mom I’ve never had a hard time letting my support system know that I need a break. That can be anything from needing to go exercise or take a walk to going to get a massage or pedicure to relax. And luckily I have the support I need to take the kids for a bit so that I can do this.

Now with a newborn it’s a little harder but I’m not going to let that stop me. And for those who might not have the support system I do, there’s a new app and website that’ll allow you an hour of peace right in your own home. Soothe, an in-home massage service, can have a massage therapist to your door within an hour.

When I was asked to check out Soothe, I knew it was an idea I would love. Not only is it amazing for working moms who just don’t have the time to get out and schedule a little time for ourselves, but it’s amazing for stay at home moms too with kids who don’t allow us to easily schedule that time either. And dads can enjoy these services as well! [Read more…]

Relax and Indulge at Spa Velia San Diego

June 6, 2014 by Danielle 1 Comment

The past few weeks have been hectic. Travel, work, the kids, and everything in between. So when I was asked to check out Spa Velia San Diego and tour the beautiful new location on Harbor Drive, right across from the convention center, I knew it would be the perfect way to relax and enjoy some time to myself.

When I arrived I noticed just how close it was to the Convention Center and the trolley stopped right in front. I may or may not be taking advantage of it’s proximity during Comic Con while my husband waits in long lines for Hall H.

The spa was beautiful inside and out and the staff were lovely. I truly felt pampered from the moment I stepped in the door. [Read more…]

Enjoying a Seaside Wellness Weekend Getaway in Del Mar

April 12, 2014 by Danielle 8 Comments

This seaside wellness weekend getaway in Del Mar was sponsored by the Del Mar Tourism Business Improvement District.

As a couple my husband and I try to reconnect with one another quite often through date nights. But sometimes a couple really needs to get out. So when we were asked to enjoy a couples weekend getaway in Del Mar, I knew it would be a great way for my husband and I to enjoy each other’s company without the kids in tow.

A staycation so close to home is not only convenient, but is close enough that if we needed to we could have come home to the kids at any moment. However this staycation we were able to enjoy all of it alone. And it was awesome.

We were invited to stay at the quaint, unique Secret Garden Inn owned by Sulana Sae-onge and John Halper. John has hand-built the rooms and Sulana designed the interiors to match their names beautifully. The Secret Garden Inn’s secluded Tuscany, Oriental and Balinese decorated rooms cater to any romantic setting. The Penthouse suite is a honeymooner’s paradise with an expansive patio and outdoor fireplace.

April 4, 2014 by Danielle 10 Comments

Two weeks ago I turned the big 3-0. In celebration of this milestone birthday I decided to make a little time for myself and get pampered. So when I was asked by Spa Week to check out a great spa in town and receive a complimentary service in celebration of Spa Week San Diego and their kick off I replied back with a big yes with no hesitation.

I’m one who truly believes in pampering yourself. As a work at home mom I find myself constantly making time for my family and my job but recently I’ve started to make a conscious effort to make more time for myself. Including a little pampering.

And Bella D’ora Spa was just that. Pampering at it’s finest! Located in Carlsbad, North County moms will find a place to escape to when they enter Bella D’ora Spa. [Read more…]
