Bliss and Balance

Earlier this summer, mom and I ventured to Miraval in Tuscon, AZ for four days of relaxation and total bliss. It was a Mother's Day gift, and she was so kind to bring me with her (of course, she knew I would throw a mini tantrum if I wasn't invited). We felt so incredibly lucky to have this time to take a break from regular life and emerge fully into everything the resort had to offer.

For me, Miraval was a total dream vacation. We enjoyed an outdoor massage and hours of relaxation in the sun. I know what you're thinking (what about shielding my skin from the dreadful freckles and wrinkles?!) but I was truly attempting to live in the moment, and hey, a girl needs some vitamin D, right? I've decided a queen can find a way to fix anything, so I ended day three with a hydrating facial to make up for the drying effects of the heat and sun.

I have to admit, we were totally spoiled. We made the most of our short week and hopped around to a few exercises classes. Call me an overachiever, but this betch tried yoga, bootcamp and cardio drumming! Of course, I rewarded myself by taking advantage of every snack or smoothie break that came my way.

If the experience doesn't sound like enough of a fairytale, I then ran into Prince Charming who was also spending a week at Miraval with his mamacita! Just teasing, but we did end the trip by playing with ponies. Oh, and I even tried meditation for the second time, but realized (once again) that I'm far too antsy for these types of activities. Perhaps I'll be better in my next life!
