Sunday Spa Day

Sunday was looking free and easy a few weeks ago. In fact, it was too free, and too easy, so with Kev also out of town at Nick’s stag, I knew that I would have a little partner in crime on a glorious free Sunday, and so I signed Jules up for a girly pamper session on Sentosa.

For my birthday this year the girls had given me money to have a little luxury spa session, and with Nick out of town and a full glorious day to fill, this seemed like the perfect time.        

            Whilst the majority of the good spas in Singapore end up costing around $800 just for a treatment or two, we managed to bag a $200 each GroupOn deal which gave us a steam room, an hour of massage and almost an hour of facial. It sounded perfect, and it was at one of the big swankie hotels too, so we knew it would live up to expectation.

            After a lazy morning we met at the beach for lunch before heading to the hotel and making the most of an hour or so by the pool. It was a little cloudy and grey today, but it was glorious being away from the busy Singapore pools, and out in a little bit of countryside.

When it came to spa time we were in a funny little shared room, where we spent two hours being pampered, pummelled, primped, moisturised and exfoliated. There was one slightly hairy moment where the clay face mask covered every inch of my face other than my nostrils, and I had a short bust of panic, but other than that it was a ridiculously relaxing afternoon.

            I returned home this evening desperate for a cup of tea, but feeling glorious.  I expect Nick back in the next two hours or so. I have a feeling that I am going to be starting this next week on a slightly more positive note than he will. Thank goodness for a public holiday this Tuesday.
