It’s the final sprint… but remember to take care of yourself!

Is it November already? Or should I say Movember… Sadly, The Movember Foundation has made the difficult decision to no longer run a dedicated Movember campaign in South Africa. This doesn’t mean that you can’t still participate or donate. After all, men’s health remains a major issue, as they are still seeing vulnerability as a weakness by not openly talking about their health concerns.

I hope the men reading this will take a moment to think about their health, why not try having some deeper conversations with your friends? Show some vulnerability about how you’re feeling and see how they respond. Let’s create a world in which it’s totally normal to discuss how you’re feeling.

I LOVE this month, it’s hot, it’s beautiful, and people everywhere are just in such a good mood. We are on Level 1 lockdown (YAY) social events are rolling in and for this little social butterfly that means I can fully live again!

This month’s newsletter is short and sweet! Working, socialising, and managing two children, makes for one very tired and uninspired, but still very happy me!

The spa is busy, and we are so grateful and blessed. My team is cohesive, and we work like a well-oiled machine. Our new Front desk team made up of Sipiwe, Mbali and Hilda have settled in nicely and boy do they know how to manage when it’s jam-packed, I am so incredibly proud of them.

Empowerment is well, empowering.  Not only for the recipients but for the giver too. Train, train, train is the name of the game here at the spa, everyone is always willing to learn a new skill, but perhaps more importantly we are also all ready to share our unique skills.

The end of the year can feel like the final few kilometers of a marathon, with your body and mind yearning for a break from the daily slog. To boost your energy, come and visit us by prioritising self-care! We have a lekker promotion running this month.

Happy November Woodlands Fam!

Love, Tania
