Luxury—the New Necessity!
I have written for many years of my version of luxury and it really hasn’t changed. My version isn’t so much about diamonds and monetary items as it is about things that money cannot buy—like time, health and memories. I love to make memories and make time for things that are important to me. I like to plan getaways, and some are certainly impromptu.
This past spring I invited my cousin Sharon to join me on spring break in Florida. It was the first time we had spent time together in years. We spent a week of talking, laughing and solving life’s problems, and yes we even spa-ed together! Ladies spa-ing together is like a World Summit meeting, you can read about it this issue.
Spas have replaced the shopping sprees friends use to do 20 years ago – now it is the Spa- spree. Even men are seeing spas as an opportunity to de-stress. Spas now offer man-cations—guys getting together at a spa! Whether they are on a golf vacation or business meeting, it doesn’t matter any more—spas are OK to go to, no matter who or what you are!
Unfortunately we see it as luxury but I think it is a necessity. I now have made a commitment to myself to de-stress more often and I have a standing appointment at my massage therapist every two weeks. My luxury is being good to myself and to start looking after me.
You’ll love our cover story. The Chrysalis Inn and Spa offers wonderful pampering and caters to those looking for a luxurious escape. It makes a perfect girlfriends’ getaway or a romantic couples’ destination.
I hope that your next luxury is about you and committing to a better self. Whether you choose a hands-on-therapy, a medical treatment or a trip to a hot springs, de-stressing and investing in your health is a luxury you shouldn’t put off any longer—enjoy!
