Yesterday I had a more successful attempt at some relaxation. I booked myself in for a spa day. I turned my phone off so I couldn't be disturbed
The day began with a nice soothing aromatherapy massage. It felt so relaxing and I could smell lavender wafting in the air. Lavender is one of my favourite smells and I often sprinkle some on my pillow before bed. By the end I'd drifted off to daydream about something much more interesting than real life and was disappointed when she abruptly stopped. I followed that with some Reiki done with healing stones. I didn't feel anything as she started with my head then moved down. However once she started placing them on my lower abdominal area I could feel a warmth. It was very soothing. That's the area I'd been having pain in and I'm still taking painkillers. I didn't realize until this morning that I hadn't needed painkillers for the rest of yesterday nor this morning. My next treatment was a facial and non invasive face lifting massage. I admit to being very sceptical about the massage. She starts pulling all the skin to the side and it feels likes she's kneading it. When she got to my neck I thought it must resemble a turkeys all the flab she kept pulling and pulling at. I must admit though the results were amazing. She said it should last a couple of weeks. I'm already wondering if I could afford to add a session every couple of weeks into my tight budget.
I then had a break and they provided a light salad lunch. My afternoon was devoted to a complete overhaul of my hair. New cut, new colour I love it. So, overall I had a wonderful day thanks to my kids who had bought me the spa day for my birthday
