The spa is a very stereotypical recreational activity for women in their late-twenties having a girly day out, bathing in the pool with clay-based facial masks, discs of cucumbers on their eyes, holding flutes of bubbly and catching up with the latest gossip.
But amusingly, after scrolling through my Instagram feed, I stumbled upon a clip of babies at a spa! A 'babies only' spa! Proving that a spa is for everyone; young or old, boy or girl. Everyone is entitled to a few minutes of relaxation where you are allowed to seclude yourself from the outside world and delve into the pleasures of being pampered.
Which is why I found the concept of a baby spa very very funny. People tend to go to a spa to take a break from the strains and burdens of a stressful working lifestyle, therefore doesn't a baby sleep enough? Everything is practically done for them and so they have no responsibilities whatsoever. Who knows, babies might get very frustrated when their parents cannot comprehend their babbles and cries and when they mistaken the 'hungry cry' for the 'I need changing now' cry.
But of course babies won't be receiving manicures and facials, fortunate little ones in Texas would experience neonatal massages and hydrotherapy at a cost of $65 per session, as it is said to improve motor development. It is intensely adorable and entertaining watching multiple babies bopping up and down in a pool with just their heads nestled in doughnut floats. Also seeing how babies are giggling, relishing the freedom, waving their limbs about, splashing, wriggling and interacting with other babies rather than being confined in a pushchair.
