Last Sunday I packed up my tired, stressed-out self for a visit to Aurora day spa in St Kilda. Now, I'm a fan of a relaxing beauty treatment on any day of the week, but this deserves a special mention for all-out awesomeness.
But first, some background: to get us through the winter, me and the lovely M had decided to work our way around the spa baths of Melbourne, Daylesford (and anywhere else that offered us a bit of warmth and relaxation). After discovering that they offered a mineral bath treatment, we made our way to Aurora for some lovin'.
And love it we did. I loved the way that we walked up the stairs to a separate and soothing lounge, changed into comfortable robes and drunk herbal tea in the sunshine before our treatment. I loved the way that my facialist Sara spoke to me in quiet tones about my skin concerns before my treatment. I loved the subtle and unoffensively calming environs. And I loved the way that my skin glowed after my Rose Hydration Express Facial.
Following my treatment I retired to water therapy rooms for a lemon myrtle, green clay and mineral salt bath. When I've had a hard week I can find it difficult - nay, unpleasant - to sit still and sweat in a hot room. But I was kept pleasantly occupied by the exfoliating hand mit which was provided along with the mineral salts. The bath was followed by a shower with Aurora's body wash and moisturiser (very nice!) and a good old sit-down in the lounge again. I had tried to compare notes with M, but words failed me. My mind had gone on holiday. Hallelujah.
