One of the items on my bucket list is having a facial and massage every month.  Now, I’m not too sure when I’d mark that one as done, because I’m actually not sure it’s big enough to warrant being on my list.  It’s there though, because pre-kids I used to go to a salon or day every single month for a facial or pedicure or massage and I do miss that me-time.

But anyway, I walked to the RMB building in Sandton last week for a meeting, and realised that there was a spa at the bottom… I didn’t even know it was there… and decided to book a facial.  It’s the Professional Touch Day Spa… and they use Sans Soucis products

And I went today for my facial lunch hour, and I’m definitely going to book more.  I had their fire extinguisher facial which is specially for sensitive skins, and OMW my face feels like a million bucks right now.  Instead of normal exfoliating beads, she used an enzyme peel… and then an aloe vera mask.

The best part though, wasn’t actually the facial, but the experience.  I haven’t been for a facial in many months, and within 5 minutes I could just feel myself relaxing.  I didn’t realise just how very stressed my whole body is.  It’s been an insane time, and not only am I hectically busy on weekends, but work is just exceedingly stressful and has been for the last 4 months… and I can’t see the end in sight.

It was actually fantastic using my lunch hour for something that rejuvenated my body properly.

It’s well worth it, so if you work in the Investec or RMB or Nedbank buildings in Sandton, do yourself a favour, and book an hour out of your diary over your lunchtime (which you’re full entitled to even though corporate culture may dictate otherwise), and walk to the Professional Touch Day Spa in 2 Merchant Place… and take a proper break from the stress (just remember to take some more makeup )

I think I’m going to book a pedicure next… or maybe a massage…
