B.I.R.T.H.D.A.I.Y.E. Spa

Written in 2011 and kept as it was, so some of it will have aged.

I can’t really bring myself to write an entry about a day spa, without going way out the other end of metro. Instead, I’ll just list a couple of key points from the place we went to today for Emily Benjamin’s birthday:

  • Being walked on by a Vietnamese woman is worryingly relaxing.
  • Salt scrubs are really, really awesome.
  • Having your feet dipped in wax like a candle then wrapped in cling film is strange but fantastic.
  • My feet now look and feel like they’ve never been used.
  • I still can’t stay in a sauna for more than 20 minutes.
  • 6 hours of treatment was too long for me (though some might say still not enough).
