Making Time to Relax at Burke Williams | @Burke_Williams @OutletsatOrange #MomTime

Some of you know that I recently made the transition to go back to work Full-time. It was scary at first (finding and trusting childcare while adjusting, etc), but now it doesn't even feel like I ever stopped working. As working parents, when do you ever get a break? You'll have to teach me how you do it, because I burn out midweek, and I find it nearly impossible to make time for myself.

Those who know me know that I love spending Girl-Time at Day Spas. The main difference is the Day Spas have a full facility with a lounge (or lounges), showers, Jacuzzi, steam room, and vanity room, etc. A girl can lose track of time in a Day Spa. You might even find yourself asleep in one of the lounges and not want to leave.  

When Burke Williams asked me to come out and experience their amenities, of course, I said, YES!!

So Yes, I did it! I scheduled time for myself, and I made it a spa evening after work. (I have to schedule everything or I won't do it).

COME EARLY:

Have you been to Burke Williams before? If you haven't, let me walk you through it. There are several locations throughout California. (I think I've been to four of them between LA and OC). I think Orange is the largest one - aren't we lucky?

TIP: You'll want to come at least an hour early before your services to enjoy the amenities. You can thank me later.

Once you check in, they hand you a locker key. There you will find a bathrobe and slippers. TIP: Be sure to let them know you want a tour of the facility if you've never been before. (You don't have to look like a total newbie when you don't have to.)

You'll walk through their main lounge to get to the spa.  This is one of two lounges where you can enjoy lunch by the fireplace or sip on fruit-infused water or hot tea while you wait for your services. Note: This is a co-ed room so, Yes, Men, you can enjoy this room too.

HUNGRY? ORDER THEIR LUNCHES

I was a little worried that I would be starving in the middle of my appointment, and was relieved to learn Burke Williams' Orange location offered menu items from Cafe TuTu Tango. I ordered a brie chicken sandwich when I checked in, and by the time I changed into my robe, showered, and came back out, it was waiting for me by the fireplace in the lounge (about 15-30 minutes?) - It was so nice!

By the way, the chicken sandwich was delicious. I had the second half the next day for lunch, and it was still good!

I'm ready to relax. It's one of the last pictures I took because they have a strict no cell phone policy. I had a 50 minute Pure Relaxation Massage which I upgraded for Hot Stones (my favorite). Sarahjean took extra care of me. She applied the right amount of heat and pressure as well as adjusted when I needed her to. I was totally relaxed.

I also had a 50 minute Spa-Style Facial with Laura. At first I thought maybe two hours would be too long and almost went with the mini-facial, but I'm so glad I upgraded to the full. The main difference is you get a paraffin hand dip and longer massages (more neck and head massages - YES Please). Have you seen my skin glow lately? It might be from the Vitamin C Peel I received. I really enjoyed my time with Laura too.

Oh and I have to tell you my favorite room at Burke Williams... it's the cool Mist Room.

Thank you, Burke Williams! You really spoiled me that night. Can't wait to come back and relax some more. Until next time...
