Spa Mama

I love the spa.  I always have and now more so then ever since I had LM and have been lugging him around like a Koala bear…

I’ve lived in the downtown area for the past 6 years and hands down my favorite spa in the neighborhood is Great Jones Spa.  It’s a serene, extremely relaxing and absolutely beautiful spot to go for a massage, facial, body treatment, etc.  
It was my wedding anniversary yesterday and my husband told me to treat myself and go for a massage.  I didn't waste any time here.  I arranged for my babysitting student (BS), called and made an appointment and went that afternoon without a moment of delay.  I always (and I mean it) get a great masseuse when I am there.  I have tried requesting the same person when going back but they are usually not available and I’m not willing to wait.  So I always just take who ever they offer me.

Well this time I was placed with Mark.  Mark was a big guy.  His hands were about 3 times the size of mine.  And my oh my.  I say this each time I get a massage there…but this time, he really was the best!  Perfect pressure applied and hit all of the right, sore and tense spots.

So whether you’re working your butt off or lugging a lil one around, do try to find the time to treat yourself to a massage or some type of treatment now and then.  It’s a necessary mental escape and come on, you deserve it!
