Nirvana Spa day

After a gorgeous day at the Nirvana spa, Sindlesham, two weeks ago, I couldn't help but write about it. As a birthday present to my mum, we went along for the day and had booked into a Floatation experience too. She had been before although I hadn't, so it was a brand new experience for me, and I loved it! 

The whole ambience of the place is very calm and serene, it feels as though you are relaxing even by being in the place! With all of the different facilities to use, the first one we chose was our floatation experience. We lay in the floatation tank for half an hour, and you really do just float! The stars on the ceiling and atmospheric music relaxes you completely and you feel weightless and very sleepy. The mixture of salts and minerals within the water is also very good for the skin and I left with my skin feeling very moisturised and soft! 

Throughout the day, I entered steam rooms and saunas, plunge pools and jacuzzis, had an ice rub (yes, ice!) and tested some of the products they had on offer.

I have recently found out that they actually stock these products in Asda, which in my opinion actually detracts from the lovely spa atmosphere I had clouded myself in with the products. On a positive note, the products are lovely and are such a bargain! 

After testing the products on myself throughout the day, I bought myself the 'Brightening Detox Scrub' by N-Spa. The product is lovely. It really scrubs away impurities from the skin and is not too grainy to be harsh to the face. The smell is also reminiscent from the natural, pure scents from the spa.

I have used the product around 3 times each week, as instructed, and my skin is soft and refreshed after each use. I am thoroughly impressed with this product, and considering the price, this is definitely worth buying again! With the product also being Paraben free, dermatologically tested, and against animal testing, the products are suitable for sensitive skin, and I love the elimination of animal testing and the promotion of morals within the skincare industry. 

I can't wait to build my collection of N-Spa goodies and hope to do this on my return visits!

La belle vie de Valerie

Welcome to my blog!

I am a makeup and hair artist and feel it is time to create a blog after reading so many in the past. I love so many different products and things, and I want to review and test these within my blog as well as show different shoots I am creating and everything that is going on with my work! I hope that the blog will include lots of different reviews, images of work I have done and what I am inspired by, not just makeup and hair but fashion too! 

Well I hope you enjoy and like what I have to say!
