Make a Mom’s Day

Spring has finally arrived! As nature reawakens and thoughts turn to warm-weather fun, it’s also time to prepare for the season’s quintessential celebrations: graduations, weddings … and Mother’s Day.

When it comes to choosing a Mother’s Day present for the special women in our lives, it can be tough to make the right choice. Flowers? Perfume? They are all lovely, tried-and-true options. But after a snowy, protracted and especially cold winter, the gift of relaxation and rejuvenation is one that never fails to please.

A luxurious spa service can refresh dry skin, add a pop of pizazz to fingers and toes or reenergize tired muscles. And with all of the hats mothers wear – and the endless sacrifices moms make for the benefit of children, families and communities – what better time than Mother’s Day to honor her efforts with a little special treatment (and some welldeserved time to herself)?

Some of the top spas in Westchester are offering specials that will help that mother, grandmother, daughter, sister or friend enjoy some pampering and shake off the winter blahs. With such tantalizing options, you may end up treating yourself as well.
