Hola! So this post is going in my ‘Adventures’ page (places that I’ve been). As of today, I can see the only post I’ve done in that page is ‘Coming to Nigeria’ lol. I can assure you, I’ve been to more places than Nigeria.

So, the reason that I chose ‘When We Rest, Our Energy Is Restored’ as the title, is because the place where I was, in this photo, was at a beautiful and peaceful spa hotel. It had so much greenery outside, the building was unique and historic; the individual rooms had a very vintage design.

Despite this place being in the same country as my home; the fact that my family and I only had a short stay here, this place is so significant to me because of the rejuvenation I gained from the trip. It made me realise the importance of rest.

Although we did end up using an external spa from the hotel, I got a full body massage for the first time and it was unbelievably amazing. If you haven’t got a full body massage before, I highly highly highly recommend it … by a professional of course. It feels amazing and it’s so good for your body. Muscle tension needs to be released! I’m proclaiming that one day I’ll be in a position to be able to get them like once a week or every other week-not sure if there’s a recommended limit on how much you should get lol.

Of course I believe in working hard at everything you do, but I believe it’s as important to not overwork yourself, where you become drained. Therefore when needed, rest should be enjoyed because you’re able to come back stronger and work even harder due to the strength gained.

I also think rest is different to each individual. Some people find rest in just being by themselves watching a show, reading a book; some people find rest in having gatherings with friends. It all depends on you and what energizes you.

That’s all!

Hallelujah, we’re coming to the end of the wonderful 2018 and I think everyone deserves a full body massage, especially those of us that are very active, not the lazy ones.

Bye bye!
