95 www.ReadMPM.com | www.MountPleasantMagazine.com | www.MountPleasantPodcast.com “Taking care of yourself makes you stronger for everyone in your life … including you.” Kelly Rowland said it best when she spoke of the importance of self-care and wellness. While we often put the needs of others first (including our ever-growing to-do list), we need to recognize the strength found in regularly prioritizing our own health through self-care. Living in a performance-based culture can take a toll on the best of us, so taking time to slip away from the demands of work and family should be a priority for all of us. We are fortunate to live in a place with abundant retreat options for rejuvenation, relaxation and renewal. Now it’s time to choose which one best fits your needs. Special occasions call for an escape to a serene, sanctuary-like space where smells of eucalyptus fill the lobby and sounds of blissful elegance are piped throughout the spa. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, splurging on yourself or reconnecting with a spouse or friend, those moments call for a high-end, luxury experience. Not just a service booked but a day spent kind of affair. When it comes to an experience like this, there are three places that instantly come to mind: Woodhouse Spa, The Estuary Spa at Charleston Harbor Resort & Marina and The Spa at Sweetgrass. These spas offer a retreat where relaxation lounges lead to customized massages, high-end facials and aromatherapy, where every guest feels invited, cared for and truly seen. Luxury spas offer a level of indulgence that leaves you feeling pampered like never before, making these services perfect for special occasions. Supporting local is always a priority at Mount Pleasant Magazine, and that brings us to our next set of spas. Stepping inside a locally-owned, boutique-style spa is an intimate experience rooted in warm service and personalized care. Complete Beauty Wellness offers guests an inviting space where clean skin care and holistic practices are integrated to bring balance to both your body and your mind.
