♥ What's through the Red Door? ♥
Advantages: Intense relaxation available Disadvantages: mixed changing and a little small
...operated by US cosmetics giant, Elizabeth Arden, nestled in the heart of London's Mayfair district.
***BOOKING***
Not being one to hang around I decided that I just had to go that very day and so at 10:30 on a Sunday morning I found myself on the telephone to the salon where a very friendly and attentive lady told me a little about the spa and the treatments on offer.
The fact that it was 10:30 on a Sunday morning is relevant. The spa doesn't ... ...reception area. Stands of Elizabeth Arden products are sited here and directly in front of you is the reception desk. Despite attending to another guest, the receptionist still managed to catch my eye and let me know that she would be with me in a minute. It felt most welcoming.
Once free, I gave my name to the receptionist and it turned out that she was the person I had spoken to earlier to make the booking. She recalled exactly what I was having ...

Beauty Therapy at your home
Advantages: home treatments so no traffic, no parking problems and if you have kids you dont have to drag them to a salon Disadvantages: maybe not such hi-tech equipment as a salon
I called Beauty at Home when I wanted a facial and massage at my home in London - I have a young child so its not easy to go to salon appointments and drag an un-cooperative child along!
An advantage of this is you can pick and choose your time as evening and weekend appointments are available so also good for people who work late - like most of us living in London. A very friendly and easy-going therapist turned up almost on time (London traffic!) ... ...cleansing, steaming, removing of blackheads (yuk) exfoliating, facial massage and a multi vitamin mask.and afterwards a wonderful relaxing massage. It was great as I could just go off to bed afterwards in a blissful state without having to drag myself home. You dont have to supply anything except water, the therapist brought everything with her.
Recommend it. - company is called Beauty at Home you can find them on yell.com and in the Central London ...

An excellent day at New ID studios
Advantages: Great way to boost your confidence Disadvantages: Pictures slightly pricy
...good things to say about New ID in Birmingham. My friends have been harassing me for years to up my image and wear make up and give up my faithful pony tail so I decided to take the plunge and after having a look online was tempted by the last minute deals offered by New ID. I chose the Deluxe make up photo shoot package and arrived a little late (I am hopeless at parking) expecting to get told off and found nothing but a warm reception and the offer ... ...I bought three of the New ID products and am currently working on getting them to have the same effect on my face as Margo achieved and to be honest I am getting there. (I have been virtually make up free my entire life and I am even worse with make up than I am with parking). So feeling considerably more glamorous than I did when I arrived it was off to the hair salon where Kevin unraveled my pony tail and gave me some excellent advice about wearing ...

Mum's day to herself!
Advantages: Great spa facilities, treatments and food Disadvantages: Expensive
The Sanctuary: A women only spa in the heart of Covent Garden in London. Feels a bit unfair to the lads but if the boys reading this are anything like mine you're just happy to watch your favourite team win and east some good food. The Sanctuary believes that if you feel good about your body, you feel better about yourself and the world around you. Sanctuary products are available exclusively from Boots so if you can't make it to the spa then try ... ...requiring a signature. I took the little Royal Mail red card and wondered up to the post office. The whole way up I was babbling on that I wasn't expecting anything and with my luck it would be a bill or something evil like that. I walked into the post pick-up office and handed my card over to the chap at the counter. He went into the back room and emerged with what looked like a wedding invitation type envelope. After signing for it I turned it ...

A relaxing treat
Advantages: Lovely treatment, very relaxing Disadvantages: No pool
...Mr Tart and I celebrated the first anniversary of our meeting. I was waiting with bated breath to see what might present he might have got me. He’s been amazing at getting me just the right thing so far so I was feeling hopeful. He arrived at mine with some champagne, smoked salmon and a card in a fancy present bag. Good start I thought. I opened the card, nothing fell out but there was a note, saying ‘you’re probably wondering where your present ... ...Mr Tart!
LOCATION:
The Retreat Spa is located in Unit 24, Hobley Drive, Swindon. Yes I did say ‘unit’ and yes it is actually located in an industrial estate. I was a little apprehensive when the sat nav directed us here, surely this was all wrong and I should be in the countryside, surrounded by trees? No, apparently this was correct. It’s not very well signposted off the road but when you see the industrial estate turn into it and you should see ...
