At Silked, we believe in celebrating the women who hold it all together—and sometimes that celebration starts with a little inspiration.
Recently, our co-founder Sandra took a spontaneous pre–Mother’s Day escape to La Quinta Resort & Club, a Waldorf Astoria property tucked into the serene beauty of Palm Desert.
What started as a quick wellness break turned into a full-blown blueprint for the perfect Mother’s Day retreat.
Now, we’re sharing the magic with you—from spa indulgence and desert sunshine to the must-have Silked essentials she packed to elevate the experience.
Day 1: Recharging in the Desert
Arrival: La Quinta Charm
Sandra checked into one of the resort’s cozy casitas, where whitewashed walls, mountain views, and blooming bougainvillea immediately set the tone. The Spanish architecture and quiet desert air offer instant calm, exactly the kind of peace every mom deserves.
Afternoon: Spa La Quinta + Silked Eye Serum
Afternoon: Spa La Quinta + Silked Eye Serum
After settling in, it was straight to Spa La Quinta, where she experienced the Luxe Body Renewal treatment. Post-treatment, Sandra applied Silked’s Eye Serum—cooling, hydrating, and perfect for reviving tired eyes after travel. It was the ideal reset.
Afternoon: Poolside + Aromatherapy Eye Pillow
Then, off to the Pool for a little Silked Aromatherapy in the beautiful desert mountain air with our 100% Silk Eye Pillow.
Evening: Dinner Under the Stars
She ended her first day with dinner at Morgan’s in the Desert, savoring locally sourced dishes and a celebratory toast to slowing down. It was the kind of moment that lingers, especially when the only thing on the agenda is self-care.
Day 2: Poolside Pampering & Spa Serenity
Morning: Yoga & Breakfast
Sandra started her day with sunrise yoga in the desert, followed by a vibrant breakfast at Restaurant Twenty6. The slow pace and fresh flavors reminded her just how important it is to make space for self-care, especially before the busy Mother’s Day season.
Midday: Poolside Reset + Silked Favorites
Here’s where the trip turned into a full-on Silked moment:
-
Silked “Mom” Hat to block the sun in style
-
Aromatherapy Eye Pillow for on-the-go zen while poolside
-
Eye Serum, misted midday for a burst of skin refreshment
This combo was a total vibe—relaxed, radiant, and undeniably luxe.
Afternoon: Shopping in Style
Because you can’t go to Palm Springs without exploring a few of its iconic shopping spots like The Shops at Paseo, vintage boutiques just around the corner, and the gems along the Highway 111 strip, not to mention Downtown Palm Springs.
All of this fun wrapped up with a stunning desert sunset and a chilled margarita at Adobe Grill to close the day in perfect form.
Every Night: Silked’s Sienna Bronze Pillow Sleeve
And of course, she didn’t leave home without her Silked Sienna Bronze Pillow Sleeve. Sleeping on silk ensured her skin stayed hydrated in the dry desert air and her hair stayed smooth—no frizz, no fuss. It’s a travel essential turned nightly ritual.
