Now term time is back, Lil H is now full time in reception so obviously I have spare time to invest in myself, right? Wrong! For starters Baby G is with me, I have a business to run, work to do and a house with a bottomless laundry basket to run. Should I ever get through that lot I’m sure I’ll be asleep rather than making a plan to do something I want to do for myself!
I’ve been very focused on Lil H with him starting school, but on him first full day in school I seized the moment, dropped Baby G off for some quality grandparent time and said yes to an invitation to experience a Day Spa package at the Radisson Edwardian Manchester’s Sienna Spa. The last two years has seen time with no children at all granted due to extreme sleep deprivation with it spent dedicated to some deep sleep or I have been head down, focused, power working for a client or developing my marketing & social services business. Today was different. Today was all about me.
The Radisson Edwardian is located in Central Manchester, near the Town Hall and the shopping delights of Spinningfields. So in the middle of the noisy hustle and bustle of Manchester City Centre is there really an oasis of serenity and calm? Climb the steps of the Radisson Edwardian, into the five star luxury foyer and head downstairs. The volume drops with each step, soothing aromas rise, peace surrounds you and its time to slow down and rest. A relax room with fabulous magazines, a white fluffy robe and slippers, I was set and it wasn’t difficult to succumb.
But first there was a treatment room with my name on it. First a facial. A flashback to days gone by for my face, this child free lady used to have monthly 
facials and treatments. I’ve had a facial since I had children. Haven’t I? I’m sure I have *wracks brain* I must have, surely? But I can’t recall when or where – so maybe not. I loved the treatment room itself, yes it was candle lit, aroma filled with soothing music but they all are but the low curved ceiling gave it a unique and cossetting atmosphere, I was very quickly “in the zone”.
Skin glowing I headed back to the changing rooms donned my swim suit and headed out to the pool with jacuzzi, sauna and steam rooms. What first? Having walked past the gym and fitness area twice already and so far my morning had consisted of reading magazines and lying down, the invitation to ripple the still waters of the empty pool was too good to turn down. 30 minutes of lengths later and it back to relaxing a spell in the steam room and the jacuzzi. Almost 1pm and lunch felt like a good idea. I’d taken the recommendation of the Club Sandwich from the team and my goodness I know why – check this out for a sandwich!
So having undone all the benefit of my 30 minutes of lengths and then some (but it was oh so worth it!) I was glowing, up to speed on the latest trends thanks to Wallpaper magazine, I was no longer wearing my shoulders like earrings they were back where they were supposed to be. I floated out of the Radisson Edwardian, back to the school gate and back to my life but an improved glowy me. I liked it. A lot. It was great, thank you very much to the team at the Radisson Edwardian Manchester’s Sienna Spa for looking after me so well. I thoroughly enjoyed my day and I spied this really great value for money offer on their website if you too fancy a bit of a pamper. I’m so going for another visit!
