I have been good! Really really good. Didn't overindulge over Christmas, did sit-ups almost every day, ate tons of fruit and veg. And most of all studied and worked real hard!!!
Yes, I am truly perfect. For that I decided to reward myself.
And most certainly there is no better way to reward oneself than a beauty treatment.
Green Room is owned by body shop. Uses only body shop products, upholds and promotes body shop values. It is not a big (proper) spa. It is rather a sort of beauty clinic. You come get your treatments and leave. So again it is not a day spa resort.
WHERE IS THIS GREEN ROOMWell it was literally 3 shops away from the place where I work, so I could just pop in before or after work.
The rest of you might not be so fortunate of course. There is a total of 11 branches: Bath, Brighton, Covent Garden, Hammersmith, Kensington, Manchester, Portobello, Putney, Richmond and Victoria.
I went to the Richmond branch.
I have to say it is very well hidden. There is a sign just above the Body shop, that reads Green Room, but I had to ask a body shop person for directions.
It turned out that the little door inside the body shop was a secret passageway to a staircase to heaven (aka the Green Room). There was no sign on the door or anything like that, you could think it was a staff only door or something. I found that quite discouraging. However I was determined so I went inside.
I came up to an empty reception desk. Weird… I stood there for a little bit. Then glanced down at the table. The notice there read "If you would like to book a treatment, please leave your name and number and we will contact you, if you decide that you are worthy out attention (ok the last bit is made up). I was about to drop my name down as the lovely receptionist emerged.
Receptionist: Good morning, how can I help youIn the end it was booked to be in two days, at 12, which was perfect with me.
BEFORE THE TREATMENTI was asked to fill in a little form asking me about my allergies, diseases, diet, marital status and level of stress.
THE TREATMENTPRICE
For my treatment total of £37, £10 deposit up front. For all the treatments and prices you can refer to the website http://www.thegreen-room.co.uk/SPECIAL
Oh since you are the first time customer you get a little pleasant treat.CLUB MILES
YES. For all treatments except combination treatments, you get club miles from 1 to 3 club miles for a treatment. To fill one card you need to get 8 miles. Some treatments require one full card some require 2 full cards, eg back cleansing requires 1 full card. Half way through your card you can choose a free gift or a charity donation to Children on the Edge. I'll try to scan this leaflet in, just so you can have a look.OVERALL
I am happy. I will go there again. Probably for a facial. To the same therapist (Allison).
But I also want to visit a proper day spa just for experience.

This sounds fantastic - for some reason I'm always attracted to anything that treats my back!
