A San Diego trip was much needed! As a therapist I preach the importance to have fun and practice lots of self care. I’m here to show you why recharging at the Westin is a necessity. There are 3 fun activities you can do while enjoying your stay.

3 Self Care Activities I did At The Westin

Activity 1 : Wine and Dine

The Westin has an aesthetically pleasing restaurant and bar area where you can order yummy food. For Shelby’s 30th Birthday, we went to the Bronze Bird to eat a spiced Caulifower Bowl and Roasted Jidori Chicken. Super flavorful and sensational with each and every bite! In the hotel room, they brought up champ and a pretty cake as well. Th best self care is feeding your stomach and feeding your soul with your besties!

Activity 2: Bike Ride Adventure

The Westin Gaslamp Quarter offers a fun Destination Amenity Fee for about $25 a day. This pass is a life saver as it grants you access to local experiences such as:

Paddle boarding or Kayak rental
1 Hour Flagship Cruise for 2
You’re choice of 2 glasses or craft beer or wine.
Hotel bike rental for 2
Premium in room internet access
And Special discounts for nearby Attractions and dining.

Activity 3: Relax Via Poolside

Enjoy some fun in the sun all year around (California weather is the best after all!). The rooftop pool is cute and cozy. They have outdoor showers to rinse off after you swim.

Activity 4: Take photos and rest in bed

Getting in a sexy shoot was fun right before taking it easy to nap. Self care that involves the body is just what I prescribe as a Fashion Therapist!

Activity 5: Shower

Cleansing yourself with water will always hit the spot! If you want to relax your nerves, try running cold water on your body for 15 seconds to a minute. Let me know if you try this out! I typically recommend this self care activity for clients who need to regulate their anxiety and depression.
