This Saturday

Lately I am always working against the clock, with many things happening at once (and a cold that did not leave me for a week). However, I must not forget that it is important to set aside time to take care of Number One! I have been feeling guilty of neglecting myself lately and so I have made a resolution to change that and have taken measures.

From now on, Saturday will be my day, the day I choose to take care of myself. The only conditions are to organise my diary, switch off the smartphone and start early! This Thursday I even bought the weekend groceries, as there were fewer people in the shops and good promotions, too.

Early this Saturday, I tidied up my house (I am an early bird) and did the laundry. Then I headed to a sports centre. I started with 45 minutes of swimming, good for the body and mind, and super energising! Afterwards, I relaxed in the Jacuzzi, sauna and Turkish bath.

When I returned home I did a manicure and a homemade hair mask and finished with a blow dry. It was so good to feel beautiful again!

Turning to my look, I chose this skirt from Globe. I bought it a long time ago, but only found a suitable opportunity to wear it today. It was love at first sight when I set eyes on it.  The skirt does not need many accessories and is super comfortable!

In the evening, we went out for dinner. My sweetheart surprised me with a gourmet restaurant, Vertig’O which has been awarded a Michelin star. It is located by Lake Geneva in the Hotel de la Paix. We enjoyed refined cuisine; everything we ordered was extremely appetising! As a starter I had a variety of foie gras, apple roasted with cider vinegar and crunchy hazelnuts, my main dish was lamb with vanilla, pumpkin and pakchoy and for dessert I had textures of pure dark chocolate.  The service was impeccable. I loved the new décor, a lovely contemporary setting with warm colours, yellow daisies and soft lighting. This is a romantic venue for an intimate night out….

After a so-so week, this splendid Saturday was more than welcome. It started with this beautiful bouquet of orange roses from Rosolo Perfect Roses which my sweetheart brought me…The symbolic message of offering orange roses expresses desire, admiration and enthusiasm…exactly what I needed after a lacklustre week!

I thought I would leave you with some snapshots that sum up this Saturday!

Have a lovely week!
