There are many things that worry me about having a daughter. Some of those things include body image, confidence, bullying, and peer pressure. There are so many messages thrown at our daughters from all angles starting at such a young age now. As much as I want to shield her from it all, as a mom, my job is to give her the tools to make sure that should these things happen to her, that she has the right tools in her emotional toolbox to deal with them.
Enter Glama Gal Tween Spa. It is not only a spa but a place that empowers girls and celebrates them for who they are. Their mantra is Be Confident! Be Positive! Be You! From the moment you walk in the door, you feel it. This week I surprised Princess Peach and took her out of school early to go to Glama Gal Tween Spa. We had both never been before and we thrilled to go! We were set for the Mom & Me VIP service filled with yummy treats, a pedicure and manicure.
Upon arrival we were greeted by Glama Gal Vanessa and Glama Gal Julia who gave us flip-flops to change into. After giving us a quick tour of the incredible facilities, we were seated at a table with a pinktini and a mini cupcake for each of us. Princess Peach was beside herself! She had the biggest smile on her face drinking her pink lemonade from a mini martini glass. And a cupcake at 4 pm?! What a treat!
We went to the Vaughan location and I just have to mention the beautiful facilities. It is large, bright, extremely clean and beautifully decorated. There are chandeliers, and everything is in the colour palate of white, black or pink. I love that some of the walls are decorated with inspirational words and sayings as well as The Glam Recipe for Being Confident! Postive and You! As well as The Glama Gal Oath. The music playlist was also awesome. It was all current popular songs which Princess Peach knows the words to so that was another great touch!
After we were done our pinktini and cupcake, we both put on comfy robes and off we went to get our pedicures. There are a variety of brands of polish such as Essie and CND Vinlyx as well as Glama Gal’s own brand that is water based for kids. We got choose two bath bombs- one for our pedicure and one for our manicure. While we were getting our pedicures, we were treated to vanilla ice cream with pink sprinkles. Princess Peach was over the moon! While getting our nails painted we chatted, sang along to the music and just relaxed.
Then it was off to get our manicure. Just before dropping our bath bomb into the bowl to soak our fingers we were asked to share a nice thing about one-another. I absolutely loved this moment and thought it was such a special thing to include!
To finish off our spa experience we had a picture taken that was printed immediately. I thought it was the perfect touch for a wonderful afternoon. Just before we left Princess Peach received a goodie bag with a few special items.
Our time at Glama Gal’s gave us a time to reconnect and enjoy doing something special together that we had never done before. We both enjoyed ourselves and left with huge smiles, beautiful nails and a big dose of confidence!
