i am feeling very sleepy
05/07/2007
This evening Sharkie and I tried out the Jurlique Day Spa at Wheelock Place. Spas and facials sound innately attractive, though I’ve never had a facial, and the last spa I treated myself to was at the Park Hyatt in Vietnam (and I really didn’t fancy it).
So I thought I would reward myself to keep motivated through a somewhat uncomfortable transition ahead. I’ve also been thinking of my quarterly rewards, but it looks like the 400D and the Wii will take me through to the first six months.
I’ve not really used Jurlique before, but I’ve tried the heavenly smelling Rose Hand Cream. The store smells pretty much like that. I tried the Herbal Mud Body Wrap, and it was a pretty pleasant experience. For an hour, you get lightly massaged, get mud smeared on, get wrapped and heated up, lie in the darkened room and try to focus on the sound of the heater, and then experience the relief when they come and turn the heater off. Of course it was messy, but they kept the mud mess to a minimum. There is also a shower in room to take the mud off. It’s probably psychological, but the thought of sweating out buckets in the wrap is pretty revitalising.
What I really liked was the Aromatherapy Facial. For an hour, you get your face cleansed, toned, massaged, hydrated and generally pampered. It also helps that their products smell so good. You also get your arms moisturised and your head and neck massaged while they’re at it. It was splendid.
The Jurlique Day Spa is located at Wheelock Place, #04-02. Call 6735-7177 for appointments.
So despite sleeping most of the day, I’m dead tired now. Looking forward to a peaceful, comfortable and early night.
