Me Time At Spa London

As a mum of two I do not get much time to myself, some days I barely have time to brush my hair let alone make time to look after myself properly. With Britmums coming up in the next couple of weeks I wanted to make sure I am looking my best for the day. I have found my dress and want my skin to be looking smooth and silky- not rough and scaly as it usually is!

Spa days are a great way to make sure you have uninterrupted me time. With all good intentions, trying to do it at home will inevitably mean you get disturbed (I always think of Mrs Large the mummy elephant wanting to take a bath in Five Minutes Peace).

Last week I left the girls with my mum and set off for some much needed me time in London. I love that I am so close, just half an hour on the train and I am surrounded by amazing buildings and culture.

I made my way to Spa London and was greeted by lovely staff and given a refreshing drink of orange juice on arrival. They gave me my gown, towel and slippers and showed me to the spa area.

Luckily I had the place to myself so was able to relax and focus on myself. My days are so hectic, I barely get a minute to sit down so it was pure bliss.

Unfortunately the steam room wasn’t working, although I am not a fan of those anyway so i wouldn’t have used it. I did use the sauna briefly but it was soon time for my treatment. I was taken to a darkened room where there were candles and calming music.

The Midas Touch

I have had a few massages in my life but nothing as amazing as The Midas Touch, one of their signature treatments. I chose it as it involves exfoliation and I thought this would be perfect for prepping me for Britmums.

The whole experience took over an hour and involved exfoliation followed by a quick shower, massaging with their signature Gold product and finishing off with a Thai style compress massage with hot balls.

I was then given time to relax and unwind in their relaxation room, where I had water and read a magazine. I honestly could have fallen asleep I was so calm. I set off home feeling relaxed and my skin feeling so soft- the Gold product had also left a shimmer on my skin too so I glistened as I walked back to the station. Perfect!

How often do you have me time?

I was invited to Spa London for my treatment but all thoughts and words are my own.
