Nothing says "I love you" more than a spa day... So treat yourself!

As women, naturally we are nurturers. We always try and make sure everyone we care about is taken care of in every aspect our life whether it's at home or in the workplace. We have to try and remember that we are just as important and need to be pampered as well and that's exactly what I did this past Sunday!

My friend and I decided to book a spa day to treat ourselves. After a nice lunch and some shopping in Yorkville, we headed over to Novo Spa in Yorkville for our 4PM appointments. I've been to many spas before and also being an esthetician by trade, I am extremely difficult to please during a treatment. This was my second time at Novo and I loved it even more than the first time! They have a beautiful spa as well as great amenities for their clients to access. My registered massage therapist (my second time booking with her which means she was THAT great) was so thorough and listened to what my concerns were. I love deep tissue massages and her massage could not be any deeper. I also treated myself to an Eminence Organic Blueberry Soy Sugar Body Polish because I hate the feeling of oils on me after a massage and I found it to be satisfactory. My technician was very sweet and made me feel comfortable however, I just don't think I would do it again. I'm  a huge fan of Eminence Organics Skin Care however, the treatment was missing that "WOW" factor. That didn't dampen my experience however because everything was so fantastic!

After my treatment, I felt so rejuvenated and stress free! What a couple of hours of "YOU" time can really do for you and your sanity. We work so hard as women making sure everyone else is tend too however, it always seems as though we don't take enough time for ourselves. You only have one life to live and you should be the first priority on your list! How can we take care of others if we can't take care of ourselves?
