Having spent ample time learning about my skin, developing my beauty regime and trying various products I thought I know what I need and what is good for me very well.
I have given up going to spa for facial treatments in Hong Kong like eight years ago as they are not good value for money. I enjoyed chatting with beautians who I have grown to know over time. But for a lot less in money, I can do all the moisturising routine at the comfort of my home myself.
After living in London, I start to go to the spa around twice a year. Half of the time is girls day out and accompanying friends visiting. I enjoy the pampering and when you come across a skillful beautian it is a very reenergising experience. One of them is a session at Notting Hill's SpaceNK. Their spa is in the basement of the shop and carries a pretty decent and standard setting. I chose the Eve Lom signature facial and remember I left the spa feeling satisfied and money well spent. The friend I went to signed up as their member right away.
Very recently I thought of doing the same facial again and decided to try a different place carrying this franchise. I picked Sanderson Hotel. On the phone I was being asked if I wanted Eve Lom signature facial to be done by Eve Lom herself. I was surprised but booked a date without hesitation.
It turns out to be a truly wonderful experience although my expectations are high. I like the way Eve speaks, her passion and her talents. This ought to be talent. In the two-hour session, I realised I know so little about myself and most of the things I know they are from marketing and advertising. I now know what I should focus on doing; the reasons why; and most importantly stop doing and using a lot of things that add absolutely no value. It is funny to find myself listen to her advice on the spot; and how I make an effort to follow them one by one afterwards. As with every other woman living in a metropolitan city I am sure we all come across hundreds of advice every week. We all know how many of them we swear by, and only how much really sustain and make a difference. Could it be the moment was right when I met Eve? Absolutely. I make choices and decisions every day and timing is always the most important factor.
I feel so blessed meeting her, listening to her and following through with them now. The day I went to the spa it was one of the hottest days in London and the hotel's air conditioning broke down. It is not even a hotel to my taste. Well it has a Bocca sofa in the lobby and although I adore Dali I rather see his work in a gallery. It also has a lot of Louis ghost chairs but for some reason they are placed in all the wrong places. The hotel is not designed to make you feel comfortable and relaxed but my happiness is... I have found my right place through many wrongs.
