I recently spent an amazing morning at the Thyme Wellness Spa & Guesthouse in Plattekloof, Cape Town.

Thyme Wellness Spa & Guesthouse

Thyme Wellness Spa & Guesthouse is an urban retreat on the doorstep of the picturesque Tygerberg Nature Reserve. The moment you step foot in the beautifully tranquil space Thyme has created, you start to unwind and destress. Thyme has state-of-the-art facilities as well as a heated pool, Jacuzzi and steam room. The extensive spa menu comprises of an array of body and skin treatments which include facials, skin peels, wraps, scrubs, anti-stress massages, detoxifying and slimming treatments and perfect spa packages. The list also goes on to include sunless tanning, eyelash extensions, manicures, pedicures and waxes. Thyme also has a hair salon and offer make-up services and lessons.

The beautiful guesthouse comprises 4 luxurious en-suite rooms and 1 deluxe room with a separate bathroom. All rooms either have views of Table Mountain and Table Bay or lead on to the garden.

I had the opportunity to experience the Thyme Tranquility Signature Ritual.

I was welcomed at the spa with a lovely foot soak and a cup of coffee. The treatment started with a relaxing 20 minute steam in the private steam room. That was followed with a lovely cup of herbal tea. I was then treated to a full body massage, an Indian head massage and a foot scrub and massage in a beautiful, candle lit treatment room. The massages were absolute heaven and I think I nodded off twice towards the end. The experience was ended of with a lovely lunch and a glass of bubbly. Bliss.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Thyme and I will surely be visiting again soon. The Thyme ladies were so sweet and made me feel very welcome, my therapist was amazing and the spa is gorgeous. Next time I may let hubby tag along as the Thyme couple’s packages sound wonderful.

For more information on Thyme, you can visit their website or pop over to Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.

Thank you Thyme for a perfect morning.

Little Shop Of Horrors at Theatre On The Bay

I have very fond memories of watching the movie with my parents and couldn’t wait to see Seymour and Audrey II on stage. A bit lost? This is what Little Shop of Horrors is all about:

Seymour Krelborn works and lives in a rundown flower shop on Skid Row. While his boss, Gravis Mushnick, struggles to keep the shop open, Seymour seeks a way of bringing the shop – and himself – fame and fortune. He purchases an exotic plant from an oriental street vendor, naming the plant Audrey II, after the girl he loves.The plant proves good for business, attracting more customers to the store, but gradually Seymour learns to his horror that Audrey II craves more than potash, and Seymour must scare up human food to satisfy the plant`s appetite. – Computicket

The all star cast, the stage, the venue, the music and of course Audrey II, made for a very fun evening. And these people can sing… goosebumps I tell you. You don’t want to miss this.
