Face It

Woman Divine

The old saying is true: when mom’s not happy, nobody is. That’s why we need to collect our wits and regroup before the summertime frenzy begins. Here’s one way to start:

  1. Enlist a friend and trade childcare for an hour or two during the week
  2. Get a facial

You won’t regret it. If you don’t already have a fave place to go, check out Woman Divine for a relaxing, organic facial treatment. Owner, and savvy mom herself, Magdalena Tomczak knows skin, and has a wonderful philosophy about beauty and aging. It’s just like our mothers told us (and somewhere along the line we forgot)…we need to take care of ourselves and learn to love the skin we’re in.

Book yourself a 60-minute organic facial treatment. It is, in a word: heaven. You will feel your muscles turn to butter as she gives your skin the attention it deserves. Take a deep breath and allow yourself to relax. It’s good for you.

Facial beauty treatments at Woman Divine are as unique as your own skin, but a facial massage is part of every single one. Magdalena believes that massage is actually more important than the products, because it stimulates our skin and helps us get in touch with who we really are, wrinkles and all.

Magdalena uses products from Jurlique, an Australian skin-care company that practices bio-dynamic farming and grows most of the plants they use in the products. Everything is gentle and natural, and you won’t find a cloying scent trailing around you for the rest of the day.

We felt light as a feather as we descended the stairs to the busy street below, ready to face the day—and the laundry—once again. 

Woman Divine is offering SavvyMoms 10% off all beauty treatments for the month of June. Please mention SavvyMom at the time of booking.
