When Burke Williams Day Spa and Massage Center paired my friend Mary Tran and I together to celebrate Galentine’s Day, they saw what we already knew.
As an only child, I pleaded with my parents for a sibling, to no avail. Their plan was always to have one child, and as I learned that having a brother or sister would never be a reality, I adapted. Growing up around adults taught me how to communicate, learn how to be comfortable alone, and instilled within me a sense of independence that only children without siblings can relate to. I found that over the years, a few close friendships were ideal, even though I generally get along with anyone.
I imagine if I had a sister, that relationship would look something like my friendship with Mary is kind, thoughtful, other-focused, resourceful, and creative. She is the friend who sees the bigger picture, seeking to make things easier for you by having her husband fix your computer so that you aren’t carrying around 2 (wait that isn’t normal? 
🤣) She is the friend that not only puts up with your weird food tendencies (because mushrooms are the worst food ever and nothing should ever be eaten raw unless it’s a vegetable/fruit) but makes sure you can actually eat. She is the friend that will be there for you when you need her most, and if she can’t, she will make sure someone is there. Mary is the friend who not only remembers your birthday, but will bake your favorite cake from scratch. She is the friend who takes your kids when she knows you never leave them and you let her because that is how much you trust her. She is kind and loyal and thoughtful and trustworthy. But if you know Mary, none of this comes as a surprise. They say that friendship isn’t about who you’ve known the longest. It’s about who came and never left your side. Mary, thank you for your friendship. To many more years of avocado toast, Disney, and the rare spa day without the kids!
Burke Williams Day Spa
Even as a young girl in her twenties, I’d often schedule a spa day with friends. I love the idea of bonding over self-care and relaxation. One of the best day spas is Burke Williams, and I try to schedule a visit for a facial or a massage regularly. Every time I walk into the European-inspired spa, I feel like I am transported to another place, away from the busyness of work and traffic and everything in between. Burke Williams seeks to create a space that is soothing and luxurious, with dim lights, soft music, and amenities like hot tea to evoke relaxation.
Each spa features separate amenities for men and women, a large co-ed lounge for socializing with complimentary teas, infused waters, and fresh fruit, separate quiet rooms for men and women, and vanity areas complete with everything you need to prepare for the day (hair products, shaving supplies, blow dryers, brushes, curling irons, etc.). The spa also features relaxation areas including whirlpools, steam rooms, a dry sauna, a cool misting room, private showers, and a cold deluge. There are ten Burke Williams Day Spa locations in Northern and Southern California. European-inspired body treatments include massage therapy, body wraps, facials, manicures, ped
Galentine’s Day
Galentine’s Day is a celebration of friendship observed the day before Valentine’s Day on February 13 each year. Friends breathe life into your soul, and this day seeks to acknowledge those friends that have walked with you through life.
