Decluttering Your Mind and Space

Image
  As the New Year comes, it contains a quiet promise of opportunity - to start afresh and pursue a life that is more approachable and defined. However, while transformation can be a goal, oftentimes it can be blocked by the weight of unnecessary clutter, be it physical or mental. The process of decluttering the mind is more than just about removing the chaos; it is a purposeful quest to isolate what is important and worth your time. This shift gives you more peace and joy by eliminating the feeling of being overwhelmed and distracted by your surroundings. In the same way, any area has its boundaries, so too does the brain. As a result of prolonged submersion in routine items such as to-do lists, worries, digital screens or even blinking notifications, a transformation and shift of the clarity turns into a stress haze essentially. Writing a diary is a real solution to all of it. The mundane gritty times, continuing racing thoughts, and the bottlenecks forming can be eventually drill...

Love yourself this february

Image
  It’s hard to miss the red and pink adornments when Valentine’s Day is fast approaching. From around the start of the month, advertisements make a foray into the digital space displaying couples celebrating with chocolates, flowers and an array of jewellery. But what about the love we need the most? And that is loving yourself. Self-love is a cause and an occasion in and of itself, so this February, why don’t we turn Saint Valentine’s ideology of love into a month filled with self-love opportunities? Perhaps Valentine’s Day is the best holiday to consider oneself and “me” instead of “we”. In a society that glorifies love, the idea of being 'single' can feel disheartening. Whenever Valentine’s Day approached, it often triggered a sense of loneliness within me. Over time, I began to realise that the most meaningful relationship I could nurture was with myself—a bond rooted in self-love. Every relationship, including those with partners, begins with self-love. It’s not just a cl...

A September to Remember

  A September to Remember There is something unique about the month of September at BodyHoliday which makes it enticing. As the sun’s intensity begins to wane and a pleasant wind sweeps across the island, a feeling of that newness is very hard to evade. This year, I was lucky to relish one of the experiences that I had been hearing about for so long and which many people carried in whispers; the renowned culinary experience at the BodyHoliday’s award-winning restaurant, TAO, during September Solos Even before I arrived, I knew I would find the exciting essence of September Solos much more special than I had anticipated. It was obvious that I was about to enter into a luxury that catered to the needs of such special individuals, hordes of solo travelers cued up and ready to partake in an experience that was still not ordinary. The magic of BodyHoliday and the warmth of togetherness that was brought about by the September Solos were very much there. However, it was only when I finall...

Empowered by Self-Care at BodyHoliday’s Skin Clinic

There’s magic in re-charging and as for me, it starts with restorative beauty. The reasons can be as simple as getting rid of chipped nails or the fresh feeling after a waxing session. No other reasons can reset my mind any better than these simple acts of self-care. At BodyHoliday’s Skin Clinic , I not only found a place to get pampered but also an opportunity to reconnect with myself, feel refreshed and most importantly, more empowered. The Charm of Nails and Toes Care There is something I have always known to be true: how we look affects how we feel. This has stuck with me for a long time now and one of the first things I do is to get a manicure and pedicure if I feel that I am losing self-confidence. The joy of looking at my own hands and feet to see manicured glossy nails, soft cuticles, and polished finish gives me great pleasure. At BodyHoliday’s Skin Clinic, the engagement is quite beyond a regular nail design appointment. While seated in a comfortable chair, relaxation comes o...
