I usually write about smaller companies or individual people I know or meet who are doing extraordinary things, but every now and then I meet someone or have an experience that is part of a much larger and more well known, even world renowned business, and I feel it's important to write about it because not only is the company doing wonderful things but the individual people I meet who are part of the company are wonderful too.
A little over a week ago I heard from a woman who I've written about before who works for Chanel Beauty at Saks Fifth Avenue. She was inviting me to come in for a facial because their salon was newly reopened, and I've had such beautiful experiences there in the past I was so excited and happy to make an appointment.
With everything that has been going on it felt like a dream to be invited to visit the salon and be taken care of by a skincare expert, and for that one hour they encouraged me to just let myself relax and enjoy that time and those moments and leave outside the doors my cares and all the things I've been thinking about and trying to figure out.
From the moment I was in that lovely room, it was as if I could suddenly just be. I had been receiving all kinds of messages for so many days and even that day just before I walked into my appointment there were more emails that I had to respond to. But when I put my phone on silent and began the salon experience it was as if everything simply had to wait and it was all right to take that time and be cared for.
The music and the lighting and the comfort of the room combined with the luxurious skincare and wonderful skill of Brooklyn who is the skincare specialist gave me the opportunity to fully relax in a way that I hadn't thought possible when I walked in. At times I drifted off, not into sleep but into a very peaceful place where I could enjoy the moments of time and the scents and sensations of the experience.
I am so grateful that I was invited to be taken care of in this way, and so grateful for the care that was given to make every moment of my visit so beautiful and so special! Saks Fifth Avenue and Chanel as a company have long been favorites of mine as I've written in these pages before, and it's the quality of the products, the quality of the experiences when visiting, and the quality of the people who create such beautiful hospitality and customer care that make for lovely memories and moments and a luxuriously abundant life.
