I am a mom of three very active boys – two of which are twins. I love my life and being a mom is one of the most fulfilling things I have done. My heart is filled with so many happy memories and great wonderful moments of joy that makes being a mom so… well, wonderful! But, let’s face it, it’s a full time job – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week – no holidays, no holiday pay and realistically, it really is a 365 day a year job. It can be exhausting and sometimes I feel like I’m not appreciated, the job in itself – while rewarding can take a major toll on any one person and this mom here does it day in and day out. It is so important for moms (anyone for that matter – but this is about moms… lol) to take some time out for ourselves, take care of us and honestly, many of us mommies don’t find the time or just feel guilty for wanting to have a little “me time”. But, we NEED to take the time out for ourselves, to rejuvenate and really just take care of YOU.
I always put my family first and while it’s important… it’s also essential to take the time for ME. Let me clarify a bit… I’m not just talking about treating yourself. That new handbag is definitely a good incentive, but really – I’m talking about really taking care of you, and your well being. After running around like a nut (if you have a busy household as I do – you’ll agree), life can sometimes suck us into a vortex of never ending chores and it takes a toll on your body and mind. Being a mom for anyone is hard work, even for seasoned pros but that doesn’t mean we should neglect the fact that our bodies need to be cared for. Come on now, cooking three meals a day, snacks, cleaning the house, walking and caring for the family pets, being there for the kids when they are sick or sore, being there for the hubby after a rough day at work or being a nurse and up all night tending the ill, it takes a lot out of us… and this is only the stuff I had room to mention.
#Becausemoments happen every day in our lives – no matter the profession and no matter who you are. Some days I wish I could just soak up some sun and lounge around on the sand or beach, but putting loved ones needs in front of our own can be a challenge. Taking the time to care for ourselves is important and essential to life’s balance and our overall well-being. I love my family and love being a mom, but if I don’t take the time to really take time for myself and remember complete body care, I would just be crazy. Don’t get me wrong – I love my husband and my kids, they are MY WHOLE WORLD… but I need some total body care for those “because moments”.
So what do I mean by Total Body Care and how can I get some?
Total Body Care is where we pause during the daily grind to check-in and tune up. Massage Envy is a great place that is dedicated to helping their members and guests to achieve Total Body Care. They believe total body care is an integral part of everyone’s wellness journey – because treating your body well shouldn’t be a luxury. As a leader in providing accessible massage and skin care services, Massage Envy is there to help you manage this thing we call living.
With the holidays here, because moments happen every single day… whether it’s running late to work (or school) or burning Thanksgiving Dinner (or in my case – planning a holiday luncheon spread for an army), life can be touch. Our bodies work hard for us and Massage Envy is here to help take care of you through every ache, pain and stress we experience.
These four people in my life are my everything, so taking care of them requires my body to be in tip top shape from head to toe. While being the mom and wife in the family can be hard work and really take a beating on my body – I know that Massage Envy is here to help take care of me through every ache, pain and stress. When you have those #becausemoments, stop in and take a look at all that Massage Envy has to offer to help your body and well-being.

I’ve always been curious about Massage Envy. When I lived in NYC, I used to buy a series of facials and massages at the Georgette Klinger Salon, and I truly enjoyed it. This sounds wonderful.
I don’t have a Massage Envy on Island – only on Oahu… but they are wonderful… all over body wellness.
I’m sorry, Honey. I misunderstood. Although you didn’t show photos or describe the massage, I assumed you had somehow tried Massage Envy. I’m still out of it. I’m the antithesis of all over body wellness right now 😉
Oh – I have… just not on my island. I go to the local Waldorf Astoria or Westin Spa for my massages here on Island… but Massage Envy is a very different experience and a great one 🙂
This sounds great. Would a because moment be … because things have been crazy for me since I left maternity leave and went back to work ?
Yes, most definitely!
I have a friend that is a manager at Massage Envy. I need one near me NOW
YES 😀
I really need to go get a massage. I haven’t had one in forever.
I love getting a massage-especially a hot stone one. I wish I could afford a massage every month.
hot stone massages are the best 🙂
There are a few Massage Envy salons near me but I’ve never gone in. I’ve only had one massage in my lilfe, that should probably change.
Would because moments be a schedule so hectic you haven’t painted or filed your nails in ages? If so, I qualify lol.
YES 😉
I canceled my membership at Massage Envy just because I am highly sensitive to anything topical products the past few months. I enjoy their facials the most tho
that’s why I stopped going to the spa… I loved their facials, but I noticed my skin wasn’t liking it… though I do miss them.
I need to force some relaxation on myself… it seems like I’m doing more and more lately and have no time!!
You are rockin that bikini! I love a good massage. I haven’t had one from a professional in sooo long!
thanks love 😉 xo
I have to get weekly massages because my back hurts from work all the time. I think that there’s a Massage Envy near me so I’ll be sure to try it out one of these day.
I need a massage SO BAD!
