The end of 2013 has been an emotional time for me, with lots of “new starts” having to happen unexpectedly. While I have done my best to “soldier on” and make the best out of difficult situations, I feel the stress has taken its toll on me and I could REALLY do with a pampering session to just unwind, relax, and let the stress seep out of me.
I have been very brave this year with a major career change and starting from the bottom again working as an intern after studying finance. I happy I did it but damn, it’s not easy. I would love tho win this to thank my boyfriend for supporting me and dealing with all my craziness and drama.
I’m a single mother. Enough said.
Everyone needs a lil TLC every now and then. Let me tell you a little story about the last time I went for a massage. It was lovely until I started to feel a bit of nausea kick in. And when I turned over, I felt the sudden surge. I WAS GETTING SICK. So I told the therapist… Well… I am going to get sick! She panics and runs out, and I KNOW it is coming. And It did, into my hands. The second surge, was imminent. I got off the plinth, and leaned forward towards a the basin, and got sick into the basin, and it was then that I realized it wasn’t a real basin with plumbing and the sick with now running down the open hole on to the wooden flooring. EMBARRASSED MUCH?! Here I am naked, with a blanket not covering anything anymore trying to clean up my mess. So to say I need to get back on the horse is an understatement. I am actually quite scared to have a massage again, so maybe this will push me to try . Apparently it is not that uncommon that all the toxins get all crazy in your body, and that sometimes the outcome is that the insides out-come….
After a very long year of highs and lows, dealing with new management and my terrific wife expecting another baby, we in desperate of some time to put our feet up and get rid of all the Knots. Most of all my wife, i would say, deserves it the most, being 7 months pregnant and looking after the most energetic 1 year old boy everyday, her back needs some tlc…:)
I have taken 2 days leave this entire year, completed a teaching degree while working full time, and have a 17 month old boy – if that doesn’t entitle me to some pampering, I don’t know what will! 😉
This year my entire world flipped upside down. I quit my very secure job to take an opportunity to work/volunteer overseas. This work required travelling every weekend for months. And even though I was lucky enough to see some beautiful places, I discovered I am the most anxious and stressed traveller. Every trip I’d get so stressed I’d start shaking and get nauseous. After spending a few months stressing about finding work, I managed to get a new job but it only starts in January. I’ve since returned, with an empty bank account and a lot of debt to pay off this trip. I would absolutely love a chance at winning the couples massage. That way I can finally work out these horrible knots on my back and neck after this crazy year, and also give my mom an opportunity to work out her tension, as for the past few years she’s barely made it by with the amount of medical bills hanging over her head.
I know that I am supposed to explain why I deserve to win this but the truth is that I don’t. However, my mom deserves this and that is why I want to win this for her. She’s a single mom and that alone carries enough worries and stresses. On top of that, my mom is the greatest teacher I have ever known. She works her butt off for her all her kids, at home and in her class. Also, later this month is my birthday and my birthday is a special day between my mom and I because she nearly lost her life so that I could be born, and I always try to show her how much I appreciate that risk as well as all the other sacrifices she has made for me and my siblings. My mother is truly an amazing woman and that is why I really hope I can win one of the prizes for her because she really deserves to be spoilt for a few hours 🙂
Four home moves this year and every single muscle and fibre is calling out for spa R&R. And I’d love an ‘excuse’ to venture into the Mother City again: broke my ‘big city’ mental block last weekend with the Dave Matthews Band concert (AMAzing!) and have fallen in love with Cape Town all over again. Thanks for sharing another fabulous gem… and competition. Sending love from the Overberg, Sx
I torn my hamstring twice this year playing soccer and the only relieve is a massage
Wow!What a year..Kicked it off jobless after being told I no longer have a job the day before I left for my travels to India . It’s been a year of challenges, learning and a health scare along the way.I completed my first two half marathons and an awesome 18 obstacle course.Found a great job and still get to practice my first love..radio.I deserve this prize not because I had a hard year..everybody did but because for me this year is about respecting your mind and body and treating it well 😉
It has been a long grueling year where so many things went wrong that even my skin is beginning to feel the effects. I would love to de-stress in the hopes of a fabulous 2014!
Started a new business and with that all pampering treatments went out the window,would be awesome to have a pamper time to end off the year. X
my body and skin needs some pampering because, well it’s been a long year pass and just to feel rejuvenated for next year to come. the summer holiday activities and many days in the sun definitely does some damage to the skin and tires our the body.

I’d love go with my husband for a little R&R. We live in the UK & will be home (CPT ) over Xmas. We don’t have any family close to hand to look after our little one while we spend time together.
Being back in CPT is a time of reconnecting, not just with our families, but with each other. We get to have a day when family step in, spend time with our kid & allow us time on our own. It’s much needed.
Thank you so much for entering everyone! Sorry we are a day late with the announcement but our two winners selected from the draw are Naeema Scarlet (couples massage) and Emlyn Thomas ( any spa treatment to the value of R450)! Congratulations! We will be in touch with your prize details, no doubt you will enjoy 🙂
