Spa Days in Sussex

          The thought of a few hours escapism from the race of life's daily routine can be very welcome.  So if you're looking for a treat for someone, how about giving them a Spa Experience?   There are plenty to choose from in Sussex - you can just while a few hours with a friend or family member and escape everyday life for a few hours!   

          The south east of England - and London of course - has LOTS of spas and places where you can go to get away from it all.   (If it comes to that, you could even try a hot air balloon ride and fly high for a bit, to escape the chaos on the ground!)

          If you're looking for a gift for someone who could do with a bit of pampering, you could look at a spa day, where they usually have use of the spa facilities such as a swimming pool, sauna, a jacuzzi, steam rooms - they may even be able to join in an excercise class.  This will obviously depend on the spa.   Some spa days include tea, or Afternoon Tea, or lunch, and of course depending on your budget you could look at having an overnight spa break.  Some spa days include a treatment or - if your loved one's time is really short, you could treat them to a beauty treatment of some sort. 

          Spa days are great ways to get some "me" time or you can share the day with a loved one.  Leave the technology at home, or at least give it a rest while you're there and have a bit of a de-tox.  Switch off from your routine and get away from it all, even for just a few hours.  If you don't have the budget for a spa treatment or experience, a walk in the countryside is a great way to have time to yourself or head off to gardens to explore, or you could pamper yourself at home, perhaps after a busy day or a stressful week.  Make the most of pampering yourself.  Indulge is some tranquility and calm.

          As well as spa days, there are also an increasing number of alternative therapies such as forest bathing and meditation with nature - again, it's about getting away from it all and doing something you wouldn't ordinarily do.  These can often give you some ideas of ways you can indulge in a bit of self-care at home.  

          Virgin Experience Days has some great experiences on in the Spa and Beauty Experiences section of their website.  Whether you're looking to treat yourself (and a friend or family member) to a spa day, a spa break or a spa treatment, there's plenty of choice - and lots of special offers, too!   You could choose from an experience in the south east or in London - or head off to another part of the country for a get away spa break :-)  

          Now, if you think you'd like a  gift for someone to use at home, take a look at Sussex based Green People.  I've used their products for ages, and particularly love the way they support charities such as the Marine Conservation Society.
