A Luxurious Spa Day to Mark 60 Fabulous Years

Turning 60 was never going to be a one-day affair! Today, I’m taking some much-needed downtime, indulging in a spa day with wonderful friends. And yes, it’s a Monday morning, but why not? Sometimes, you have to create your own extended weekend, step away from the routine, and just enjoy the moment.

Life moves at a relentless pace, and we often put ourselves last on the list. Whether it’s work, family, or responsibilities pulling us in different directions, it’s easy to forget the importance of taking a breath and allowing ourselves to recharge. So today, I’m embracing the joy of slowing down, laughing with friends, and simply being present.

A Time for Reflection

With Mother’s Day approaching on the 30th of March, I find myself reflecting on what ‘mother’ really means. For some, it’s a cherished figure still present in their lives, for others, it’s a memory held dearly. But motherhood isn’t always about the traditional role—it can be about guidance, care, and unconditional love in so many forms. A motherly figure could be a friend, a mentor, a relative, or even a colleague who has offered wisdom and support in times of need.

So, whether you are celebrating with your mam, thinking of someone who has filled that space, or even taking on that role for someone else, take a moment to appreciate it. Love and nurturing come in many shapes and forms, and they deserve to be acknowledged.

A Gentle Reminder

If you need an excuse to take some time for yourself, consider this. Book that spa day, take a long walk, or simply allow yourself to rest without guilt. You deserve it! And if you’re anything like me, you’ll find that time with good friends, a bit of pampering, and a pause from the daily hustle is one of the best gifts you can give yourself.

Here’s to celebrating, reflecting, and making time for what truly matters. Happy Monday, and if we haven’t met yet, I hope to see you soon. And if we have, I look forward to catching up again!
