Has anyone been to the Sanctuary? i got a voucher for my birthday but have never been to a spa in my life and don't know if i want to go on my own - I may get bored in there for a whole day. Can anyone recommend any treatments, or should I just blow the lot on scented body oil? :D

I've been before, I did enjoy it but it was mainly cos I was with my best girlie friend and we just minxed about together - I prob wouldn't recommend it on your own cos you might get a bit bored if you're going to there for the full day.

I can't even remember what treatments I had - the usual facial, massage, pedicure etc - they are very good at what they do.

That's what I thought - much more fun with someone else. I may go for the evening one, which is cheaper and less time to be bored. Then I can spend more on treatments and products. I am slightly addicted to the body oil - i get withdrawel symptoms when i run out...

Did you go on the swing? What's that all about?!?!? :)

Fancy seeing you in a girlie thread Emma :lol: ;)

I really like Sanctuary home products as well, I often use their face masks and scrub things.

Hey, you can rely on me :lol:

I think my other friends start to think where I get all these tips and news from :lol:

I like the scrubs they do in the glass jars, think they are about £10, there is a great detox one, makes you feel not so bad about drinking as much as you did the night before once you have scrubbed yourself all over with it :lol:

Spotlight, it's an educational experience :lol:

Those scrubs are brilliant, I do love a good scrubbing :lol: The best scrubs I have ever come across tho are the Origins one - they are more expensive than Sanctuary but they are sooooo yummy I could eat them :lol:

It just makes you feel better when you have had a scrub, it makes me feel less bad for abusing my body or not keeping fit :lol:

I might have to check them out, are they in Boots as well?

Will have a look at lunch on their website.

Origins isn't available in Boots, just in the Origins stores (there's one in Covent Garden) and in some department stores and online http://www.origins.co.uk/search/Origins.htm

The ginger body scrubs and moisturiers are soooooo good :D
 
I went a couple of years ago and was a little bit disappointed. I have much better treatments elsewhere and they are overpriced. It was like being on a conveyer belt for the treatments - a bit like a number in there and it wasn't that personal. Saying that though, I did have a nice relaxing day. The food is good and there are lots of areas when you can just sit, chill out and read (or get on the wine ;) ). We arrived just after 10 in the morning, had lunch at midday and left at 7 steaming drunk - we'd drunk them out of rose! In fact, I could hardly talk :oops: 8O :lol: :lol:

We spent most of our day drinking wine too :oops: :lol: It kinds of defeats the object doesn't it going to a health spa and getting hammered :? :oops: :lol:
