Time to fill your cup! To us, self-care means little luxuries and experiences that make us feel good and escape the world for a moment or two. Welcome to our 2025 Self-Care + Self-Love Guide—7 Ways to Recharge! It’s also the perfect place to discover thoughtful Valentine’s gifts for yourself or a loved one.
Cloud9 Headspa
(Danbury) We’ve been dying to experience a Japanese Yume (dream) head spa, and OMG, heaven is a place on earth! The Cloud9 Headspa treatment is that part at the hair salon where they wash your hair & massage your scalp x 1000.
Aja will show you your scalp “before” using a mega magnifier (our term 😆) and then proceed to give your head the attention it so badly needs (Japanese shiatsu shampoo, exfoliation, steam treatment, sensory therapy, cleansing & conditioning). Expect deep relaxation and the cleanest “after” scalp you could ever have imagined!
Use code: UNLOCKINGCT until March 31, 2025 to get 15% off any head spa treatment!
Imagine Float
(Avon) Imagine Float offers an impressive array of wellness services to lift you up, like Float Therapy, Cryotherapy, The Ballancer® Pro lymphatic massage, EMSculpt NEO body sculpting treatment, and more!
You might want to plan on making an afternoon of it with a friend this February while they’re offering some great deals on bookings for 2! Hang out in the infrared sauna and catch up, then go have some alone time in the floatation therapy tank. Perfect afternoon, thanks!
Glowmi
(Danbury) If it’s been a while since your last facial, let us introduce you to Glowmi Aesthetics and Mila! We had a fantastic Glow & Go Hydrafacial in this modern studio space, starting us off with her signature thorough Dermaplaning! After the dead skin cells & peach fuzz were removed, Mila deeply cleansed, exfoliated, and extracted while infusing nourishing serums with the patented Hydrafacial Vortex technology.
The Glowmi goal is to make every treatment both effective and enjoyable, leaving clients feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and confident in their skin. Mission accomplished!
Simpson & Vail
We love the thought of switching out a cocktail for a mocktail now and again, and Simpson & Vail’s new Mocktail Mix gift box makes it even more appealing! Simpson & Vail has blended the finest loose-leaf teas from around the world to create small batch Mocktail Mixes.
We love the Mocktail recipe book with suggestions like using the Butterfly Pea Flowers to make beautiful blue ice cubes, or mixing the Blackberry Haze with some maple syrup to sip by the fire. Tea-lightful!
Struesli
Our health hack: Snack, but make it yummy AND nutritious. We are what we eat, so we better add value whenever possible! Struesli is an award-winning grain-free granola created by local CT private chef Adrienne Lufkin. They only use clean ingredients and don’t add any sugar or sweetener, which makes it ideal to add to sweet or savory dishes. We’re lazy cooks and just like to eat it right out of the bag!
Use code: UNLOCKINGLOVE20 – to get 20% off on your first Struesli order!
Daisy Wilder
Garnets can serve as a beautiful reminder that you’re worthy of all the love, respect, and care you give to others. They’re a symbol of the journey towards accepting and loving yourself fully. Visit Lora’s website for more gemstones that reflect your personality, and use code UNLOCKING20 for 20% off your order until March 1, 2025.
Take a hike!
We don’t think there’s any better way to recharge and boost your psyche than getting outside and breathing in nature & fresh air! With over 2,000 miles of hiking trails in CT, there is no shortage of beauty to discover (and photograph!). Some of our faves are White Memorial Conservation Center, Hidden Valley Preserve, Macricostas Preserve, and Huntington State Park.
