Tonic Spa-tique

A little booking system plot twist!

Our booking system is experiencing a few growing pains with the new time zone being implemented November 1. Apparently, not falling back is hard.

As a result, reminder notifications may show an earlier start time than the one you actually booked. The issue has been reported, and we’re waiting for the tech wizards to work their magic.

In the meantime, please double-check your original booking confirmation for your correct appointment time. If your reminder shows something different, or you’re unsure, please contact us directly so we can confirm your appointment time.

We don’t want you arriving early, late, or questioning the space-time continuum!

Thanks for your patience while we get this sorted out. 💛

Today’s wellness assignment:

Unclench your jaw.
Drop your shoulders.
Take one proper breath.

No special equipment. No expensive supplements. No need to become a completely new person by Thursday.

And if your body is asking for a little more than a deep breath, we’re rather good at helping you slow down.

The busy holiday season is coming, and while we can’t help with the shopping, the wrapping, or that one person who is impossible to buy for, we can help you get your skin glowing.

Our Holiday Glow-Up is three peels over three months:

October: Your first peel at regular price.
November: Your second peel at regular price.
December: Your third peel at 50% off.

Three monthly visits, a little consistency, and some extra love for your skin before the holiday calendar goes completely bonkers.

No complicated plans. No need to have everything figured out. Just some good skin care and a little something to look forward to.

If you’d like to join us for the Holiday Glow-Up, just have a chat with us at your next visit or drop us a message. We’d love to help you plan it out.

Because feeling good in your skin never goes out of season.

A little reminder from your friends at Tonic 🤍

You don’t have to have it all figured out to give yourself a bit of grace.

The house is a mess. The laundry’s piling up. Your inbox is out of control. And dinner? Who knows.

It’s okay. You’re allowed to take a breath, slow down and stop feeling like you need to do it all, all the time.

Life is busy enough without putting pressure on ourselves to be perfect.

Give yourself a break. You deserve that, too.

THE CHRISTMAS GLOW-UP

A Little Spice in your life.

The weather’s cooling down, so we’re warming things up in the treatment room.

Our seasonal Chai Body Scrub uses a blend of warming spices to invigorate the senses while smoothing and softening your skin. We finish with Maple Chai Body Butter by local maker Amae for a rich, comforting finish that leaves your skin feeling lovely and soft.

Warm spices, maple chai, and some very happy skin. Autumn, we’re ready for you.

Available for a limited time at Tonic Spatique in Fernwood Square.

Self love can be as simple as treating yourself like your best friend.

The person you make time for.
The person you listen to.
The person you encourage.
The person you want to see happy, rested and feeling good.

Give yourself some of that same good energy.

A little kindness. A little patience. A little time to breathe, soften and enjoy being exactly where you are.

You deserve your own good company too.

Before the day starts pulling you in every direction, take five.

Five slow breaths.
In. Out. Repeat.

It takes less than a minute, but it can be enough to shift gears, settle your system and actually arrive in your morning.

No elaborate routine. No getting it “right.”

Just five breaths before you get on with your day.

Start there.

Fall feels like a pretty good time to slow things down.

So I’ve been brewing up something cozy at Tonic with Kisses To Go.

I chose three of their beautiful botanical tea blends and designed three completely different facial experiences around them.

The tea becomes part of the treatment itself, finding its way into our masque infusions, facial oils and little sensory moments throughout.

Think warm towels, botanical goodness, beautiful tea blends, good hands and nowhere you need to be for a little while.

Today is a day to slow down and listen.

To listen without rebuttal.
To listen with caring ears.
To listen without needing to explain, defend or fix.

To hear the stories and voices that have been here long before us.

Reconciliation asks us to learn, to sit with uncomfortable truths, and to keep showing up with respect. It’s not something we acknowledge once a year and move on from.

Tonic Spatique is located on the traditional territory of the lək̓ʷəŋən peoples of the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations.

I’m grateful to live, work and build community here. And I believe that gratitude comes with responsibility.

So today, I’m listening.

With an open heart, caring ears, and a willingness to keep learning.

With respect, today and every day.
