I Just Discovered the Perfect Escape Between Summer Chaos and Holiday Madness (And You Need This Too!)

Listen up, mama! We just survived summer, and I mean survived. We just got back from our last week of summer at the beach with the kids, the culminating moments after two months of competing camp schedules, travel chaos, and that beautiful but exhausting lack of structure that comes with keeping everyone entertained 24/7. (Sound familiar?!)

But here’s the thing: in exactly one month, we’re diving headfirst into holiday season. Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, that’s 13 holiday feasts to prep, shop, cook, and clean up after! New clothes for everyone, hosting guests, mountains of laundry, and so much cooking you might as well pull up a bed and sleep in the kitchen (been there!).

It’s a lot of beautiful, meaningful, welcome but really intensive work coming up for this special time of year.

So right now? This exact moment between summer chaos and holiday prep? This is your window. This is your MOMENT.

So naturally, when I discovered this new “Me Time Package” at the Waldorf Astoria Jerusalem, I was like YES, this is exactly what I need and I need it RIGHT NOW! (And yes, I’m booking mine ASAP, paying customer right here!)

Here’s what this little slice of heaven includes for just 800 NIS per person:

Jerusalem’s Most Lavish Breakfast Experience Forget everything you think you know about hotel breakfast! This isn’t just some sad continental spread. We’re talking about the most luxurious breakfast buffet in Jerusalem PLUS full waiter service with a made-to-order menu.

Want Eggs Benedict? (Fun fact: they were invented at the Waldorf!) You got it, made fresh just for you. Pancakes, waffles, French toast, eggs any way your little heart desires, all prepared to perfection while you sip fresh coffee with frothed milk hearts made just for you (because who doesn’t need a little love in their latte?!) and maybe even some sparkling wine (it’s never too early for bubbles, amiright?!).

60-Minute Imperial Massage at Guerlain Spa Then it’s time to float over to my favorite sanctuary in Jerusalem (and trust me, this city knows its sanctuaries!) the world-renowned Guerlain Spa. Remember my transformative facial experience I told you about? This is that same magical place where I get lost in heaven with absolutely no desire to find my way home.

The 60-minute Imperial Massage will melt away every bit of summer stress and prep you for whatever lies ahead. Plus you get full access to all the spa facilities, that stunning vitality pool, the Turkish hammam, steam room, the works!

Who Should You Bring? This is the best part! Grab your bestie, your sister, sister-in-law, mother, mother-in-law, daughter, daughter-in-law, or even Hubby! (He’ll probably fall asleep during the massage, but hey!)

I’ve had some of my most special moments at the Waldorf with my mom, with each of my daughters separately and together, with girlfriends, and with friends visiting from abroad. It’s honestly my go-to for breakfast dates and breakfast meetings (such a power move to start the day!).

And honestly? Going solo is totally amazing too. Some of my favorite moments as an overwhelmed NYU student were meals by myself, pure peace! If that’s your speed, I so get you. And if you want someone to chitchat with and take those perfect relaxation photos (because if you don’t have the evidence, did it even happen?!), I get you too!

This is your sanctuary. This is your haven to melt away stress and restore your inner peace before the beautiful madness begins.

The Waldorf Astoria Jerusalem knows how to create the ultimate “ME TIME” escape, whether you’re catching up with your favorite person or just catching up with yourself.

Book your Me Time Package today, because in a few weeks, you’ll be so grateful you gave yourself this moment to breathe, indulge, and recharge.

Trust me on this one. You deserve it, and you’re going to need it!
