Listen up ladies – it is time that we celebrate ourselves! 🥳 Let’s look at some local ways you can spend a date day with yourself in the Edmonton area.
You are a golden goddess of all things fierce, strong, soft, loving, warm, and glorious. ✨
You light up every room you enter, whether you see it or not.
And as your special day nears, you deserve to celebrate yourself!
“But, what special day?” you ask.
Every day.
Any day.
Your birthday.
Mother’s day.
Your recovery anniversary.
The day before your upcoming wedding.
The day your divorce will be finalized.
The anniversary of the day you decided to prioritize yourself in your life (or some random day you now choose to celebrate on, because who really remembers that stuff?)
You are incredible every day. And at least once a year, for whatever reason you choose – you should be celebrated.
“But, how?” 🤔
Another great question!
I’ve rounded up some amazing ways you can spend a day in full self-indulgence. Treating yourself. Relaxing. Energizing. And reminding yourself of your inner goddess – all Edmonton local!
Treat yourself to a true Edmonton spa experience
Relax. Rejuvenate. There’s something on this list for everyone. Whether you’re looking for a basic massage or you want to go all in at a medical spa – I’ve vetted the top spa experiences Edmonton has to offer.
Beauty Rewind
If you wanted to talk about a full-service spa in the Edmonton area, Beauty Rewind will likely be first on your lips (and your crows feet, and your saddle bags, and your excess hair – see what I did there?)
Services range from chemical peels and lymphatic drainage to laser, cool sculpting, microneedling, spider vein removal and injections. And, honestly, I’m not even naming it all. They even have nurse practitioners on staff.
Wellness on Whyte
Coming in with stunning reviews, Wellness on Whyte seems to be the place to go when it comes to massage, homeopathy, acupuncture and facials. For the more spiritually adventurous, they even offer astrology and tarot reading!
The Healing Waters
This spa is known for its inclusive spa packages, including some designed for couples. But you’re flying solo on your day of self-indulgence, so I’ll suggest the Rejuvenate at the Waters or Bloom at the Waters package.
Hot Stones Spa
Are you a fan of sauna and steam? What about Halotherapy? Never heard of that last one? Don’t worry – I hadn’t either 🤣 Halotherapy is salt therapy! At the hot stones spa you aren’t just relaxing in a spa oasis, you can enjoy spending time in a salt cave! And if you aren’t all about relaxing but just want to experience the healing benefits of salt, you’ll be happy to know that the cave has a TV!
Not ready for full spa? Grab a relaxing mani/pedi
Not everyone wants to spend a whole day or hundreds of dollars on their spa experience. But pampering yourself is still nice, right? Enjoy a relaxing mani/pedi at any of these high-ranking salons with 5-star Google ratings.
Startlight Beauty Spa
Basic manicures. Basic pedicures. Spa pedicures (highly recommended). But it goes further than that. You can enjoy a fresh wax, lash and brow tints and lifts, threading, and even facials.
V5 Nails
This salon offers a lot of the same things as Starlight, but they take things up a notch with an aromatherapy offer!
EM Nails & Beauty
The range of manicure and pedicure packages that you can choose among is just bananas! I have never seen a menu this extensive. They also offer waxing and services for brows and lashes.
Dine solo in style
Have you ever indulged in a dinner alone?
As a mom, this idea feels foreign to me. Eating without someone else needing something? Eating a whole meal all at once without getting up to do something? 🤯
A lot of women I know think it would be weird to eat alone. That someone might judge them or think it’s strange. But, really, it SO RELAXING!
Alright, here are some great places to grab a bite that will make you feel a little fancy 😉
I’m not gonna waste your time going into detail on these. Click in, have a look at the menus, pick what most resonates with your stomach!
Go on an Edmonton shopping spree 🛍️
If there’s one thing we do well in Edmonton, it’s shopping! We do have a famous mall, after all 😏
But, the malls aside, we have fabulous, locally-owned boutique shops that will knock your socks 🧦off.
Here are some of my faves:
Ella Maceo Jewelry
Our sister company offers luxurious statement pieces as well as permanent jewelry!
Bamboo Ballroom
Boutique fashion. Great style. Excellent taste.
Gravity Pope
Everything you can imagine. More than you’ll ever need. Get your fix!
The Book Boudoir
Indie romance novels to curl your toes.
The Maker’s Keep
A gift store and so much more. Get a jump on your gifting for the year or just buy yourself a little somethin’ somethin’. Many locally made items to help you support your Edmonton roots.
Go all in with a luxury boudoir experience from Gabriela Cruz Photography
I mean, come on! A boudoir photography session oozes luxury and it is the ultimate way to embrace and celebrate the best parts of yourself. Own your power, ladies!
Strip away the layers to your comfort level. Bring in lingerie and play with a few cool props. Choose an understated theme of upscale colors, soft backdrops, and stylized poses. Or get daring and let your wild side ride with our after dark set. I’m talking chains, hand cuffs, the whole thing.
And, I’m no experience to birthday boudoir, either. We’ll bring in the balloons, pump up the jams, and throw a boudoir party! 🥳
Your experience.

Your celebration.
