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.

Newsflash!! You want the new Max Factor Excess Shimmer Eye Shadows!

I attended a media day recently where I was introduced to these beauties and my heart skipped a beat when I saw them. I have to get my hands on (at least) Bronze and Copper Light. I swatched them at the launch and they are beautiful.

Max Factor Excess Shimmer Eye Shadows

Max Factor Excess Shimmer Cream Shadows in 25 Bronze, 20 Copper Light, 05 Crystal, 30 Onyx, 10 Pearl & 15 Pink Opal — Shades: Bronze, Copper Light, Crystal, Onyx, Pearl & Pink Opal

Almost 100 years after Mr. Max Factor first started selling eye shadow in
1916 – Max Factor continues to innovate with the launch of NEW gel-based
Excess Shimmer Eye Shadows.

Available in 6 shades, these super-blendable shimmery shadows are designed for women who want to achieve on-trend metallic eye looks, but have difficulty creating them using traditional pressed powder eye shadows which fail to build up colour. New Excess Shimmer Eye Shadows makes it ultra-easy, thanks to their smart 3D silicone gel formula which holds its high-impact metallic colour pigments in place for up to 12 hours, for intense luminosity and a smooth colour finish.

These pots of gorgeousness are available at selected Clicks stores and retail for R130. Hurry… before I beat you to it ;)

Happy shopping.
