Day-Spa Treat


Yesterday, I finally used a gift voucher to a day-spa my sister had given me months ago for my birthday. I enjoyed a back, neck and shoulder massage after not having treated myself to one since I was pregnant with Grace. Needless to say I came away feeling very relaxed.

Whilst there, I also did my best to soak in the decor and tried to determine which elements of my tranquil surroundings I could recreate at my own house to give our bathroom a 'day-spa feel'. I came away feeling not only relaxed, but also inspired to add a few special little touches to our bathroom when I get a chance.

Have you ever been treated to a spot of day-spa style pampering?

  2. Oh wow, nothing like a day spa voucher :)

    Glad to hear you enjoyed yourself.

    It's a very popular trend now, to have a spa look in the bathroom home. I love the idea. All I need is a thai girl to come to my house once a week to massage me ;)

  7. It sounds like the perfect present Amanda, you'll have to treat yourself again it's important to have some me time.

    I think last year for our wedding anniversary together, it was so nice and relaxing. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to do it more regularly!

    I'm glad you enjoyed your massage, yesterday.

    Have a wonderful week my lovely lady. xo

  8. Oh, that sounds fantastic!

    I haven't been in a while. Mum treated me last year when I was pregnant, and I have a voucher that's fast approaching two years old, I'm going to do something about that, pronto!

  12. I've never been to one before, but I completely agree about trying to add more spa-like elements to your bathroom. Flowers, soaps, candles - they make all the difference :)

  13. Sounds perfect and just what a new mum needs!

    I like to float candles and flowers in a bowl to create a spa feel at home since I can't make massive alterations to our flat! :-) xx

  14. How lovely. I love a massage but can't justify it to myself these days as it's too much of a splurge. Having said that, I think I need it most these days with al my sore renovation muscles!
    I had a hot stone massage a few years ago and it was AMAZING!!
    Hope you are well xx
