Last week, was pamper myself week. I decided to give myself the full indulgence, from going for facial, visiting the spa for a good 5 hours and giving my hair the all needed treatment.

On spa day, I checked myself into Auriga at 9:30am for my 3 hour Auriga’s signature Waning Moon treatment scheduled at 10am. The waning moon treatment is a full body cleansing treatment that starts with some detoxification supplements taken orally to cleanse the body inside. The body pampering then begins with a foot massage using essential oils, going on to a full body exfoliation using organic and natural products like pomegranate seeds mixed with lime skin. After a good scrub, my body was then treated to a seaweed wrap releasing toxins from the inner organs. During the wrap, the therapist started giving a well welcomed head massage using oils that will help treat my scalp and hair at the same time, she then proceeded to giving me a facial massage using organic serum and moisturizer. After 20-30 minutes, I showered off the wrap and the therapist continued my indulgence by using silk garshana gloves to gently exfoliate my body, creating heat deep within the muscles and smoothing the body. She then began the lymphatic massage which put me into a very deep sleep. My sleep was deepened by the heated massage table that made me so relaxed and snuggled all over.

When my 3 hours was up, I was hoping it was just a dream and it could start over again! I was then escorted to a special relaxation room to rest (more like recover from dreamland) on physioacoustic therapy beds. (these beds are apparently the exact same beds that F1 racers use before and after a race to relax their stressed out muscles) In the room, I was sipping fresh herbal tea and snacking on dried apricots while enjoying the nice bamboo garden outside.

Now, time to pamper myself further with the wet facilities. I first went into the hot rainforest shower with floral scents while water is pouring down onto you, then I headed into the herbal steam room. In between using the steam room, I went out and massaged myself with crushed ice provided in a chilled bowl. Apparently, by doing so, your skin will become firmer and it will get rid of cellulite! Did that a couple of times, steam, ice, steam, ice, steam, cold mist shower with refreshing peppermint and orange oils! Sat on the hot stone for a while to take a break then I decided to try out the heated jacuzzi. It was shiok!!!

The best thing was the bathroom was totally empty and I could use everything as long as I wanted as much as I wanted. An hour or so later, I was very happy and satisfied, so I showered and got ready to leave.

Went out to pay the bill. My damage was $494.34! Back to reality…

Pampering never comes without a cost.
