While the festive season is an exciting period for many, we often forget it can be stressful too. December is one of the busiest months of the year for many of us, especially with year-end reports and the pressure of gift-giving. Even planning for festive gatherings or shopping for the holiday can take a toll on our health without us realising.
Having said that, what better way is there to cope with this demanding season than by indulging in self-care? That’s why we’ve curated 9 wellness experiences that you can gift your loved ones (or #selflove) to end 2022 with an extra oomph.
Signature Salt Spa Experience with Pablo Blau
Treat your dear ones to a Salt Spa Experience at Singapore’s first luxury spa offering exclusive skin treatments in a salt room environment. Inspired by salt mines and caves in Europe, Pablo Blau consists of a movie room and treatment rooms embellished with pharmaceutical-grade dry salt crystals. Each room is furnished with a unique salt generator to build a relaxing, hypoallergenic, and bacteria-free space. Salt-room therapy regulates the skin’s pH levels, gently repairs the skin, and encourages skin regeneration, which leads to healthier and glowing skin just in time to celebrate the festive season.
Signature Manicure & Pedicure at The Nail Social
A large part of feeling good involves looking your best, both inside and outside. Pamper your besties with a trip to The Nail Salon, a socially conscious salon that provides non-toxic, eco-friendly, fair-trade, and cruelty-free mani-pedis in a luxuriously intimate atmosphere. This all-in-one experience comes with drinks and snacks (even a complimentary glass of wine on Fridays and Saturdays) as well as a personal iPad pre-loaded with movies, podcasts, games, and books to ensure patrons are well taken care of while getting their nails done.
Pro-tip: All salon quality polishes are safe for use on children and expectant mothers too!
Sound Healing Yoga & Guided Meditation by The Senses Therapy
For those going through a difficult time or struggling with negative emotions during the festive period, one of the best gifts to receive is a customised healing journey towards mindfulness. The Senses Therapy’s ISHIKI™ approach guides individuals in their reconnection with power, confidence, resilience, and happiness from within, which motivates them to confront their inner demons. Therapeutic sound baths, guided meditation, and sound healing yoga are great ways to care for the body, mind, and heart.
Pro-tip: Receive a free “Know Your Energy” assessment and a mapped out personal healing journey by The Senses Therapy.
Authentic Onsen Experience with Joya Onsen Café
Doll up in comfortable Jinbei clothing and take cute #OOTDs to commemorate the holidays with your dearest at Joya Onsen Café. Rejuvenate and immerse in authentic Japanese culture as you indulge in a food coma after a cold refreshing bath, or a hot sauna combined with delicious Japanese cuisine. This is an excellent gift to feel revitalised before taking on the world again.
Pro-tip: Take it up a notch with a private Onsen package which provides beautiful Yukata clothing in addition to a more intimate and personal Onsen setting.
