Being a mum of two children aged five and under, getting time to relax is extremely rare. When I do, it means I get a few minutes for a bath or some time to read my book. Most recently, my mother in law took me out to get my hair cut and coloured and the time to relax was bliss. However I’ve been talking with my friends recently and we are determined to go on a spa day and really get a chance to relax.
But what would be my ultimate spa experience? I’ve never actually been to a spa despite always wanting to so I’m unsure what I’d love the most. The team over at www.ellisons.co.uk are in the process of creating an eBook about the Ultimate Spa Experience and I am intrigued to see just what will be included in that. Everyone has different ideas about their perfect spa day but what exactly is mine?
I think for me I would definitely have to get a massage. I’ve always suffered with aches and pains but more so since having my children and it would be nice to be able to get the stress and tension massaged away, especially down at the lower back where I get most of my pain. I’d definitely have to get a facial as I’m not getting any younger and I need to show my face I still care about it, right? It doesn’t get much love. I’d also have to take a dip in the pool and then finish off with a trip to the sauna too.
To make it the ultimate spa experience with my girls, it’d have to be a real treat – maybe a three course meal for us all, a few glasses of champagne or perhaps even some afternoon tea. If I’m going to a spa, I want to not have to worry about a thing – and that includes eating too. Food, fun, relaxation. What’s not to love? Of course I’d have to find a spa that caters for everything we want but that shouldn’t be too hard.
For my ultimate spa experience, I want to not have to worry about a thing – let someone else do the worrying for once. I want to spend some time with my girls, chatting and reminiscing on funny things from the past. I want to try a variety of treatments and feel pampered and fed to within an inch of my life. Is that too much to ask for?
What would your ultimate spa experience be?
