The Wahanda Blog

Everyone loves Elemis, so we weren’t surprised that entries kept flooding in for our fabulous SpaPod competition. All hopefuls had to do for a ticket in the draw was sign up to our monthly newsletter - featuring all the latest and greatest news and information and expert tips in health, beauty and wellness, delivered direct to your inbox each month, it was always a win-win situation.

But, there could only be one winner. Actually, who made up that rule? Wahanda said let there be two winners! And so there was, along with a couple of runners-up. We’re too generous for our own good here. Wahanda’s first prize winners won an unbelievable Elemis SpaPod experience in the location of their choice whilst the two runners-up bagged themselves an Elemis goodie bag each,  bursting with indulgent products.

First prize winner Lucie and runner-up Rockettine are already avid Elemis fans. Lucie uses their skin and body care range and Rockettine’s love stems from a birthday gift. “I was given the Elemis Maximum Moisture Day Cream for my birthday and I absolutely love it. It is the perfect finish for my facial procedure in the morning and it feels like getting a beauty treatment every day.”

You may have seen that last month our two Rose Ritual winners had a common link – they both had a penchant for headwear, and this month we’ve also noticed a common thread that links our winners – when asked what their ‘can’t-live-without’ beauty product was- ‘mascara and lipgloss’ came out on top!

With no plans to skimp on the pampering, these girls have the right idea and it seems the Elemis SpaPod is just the start of their relaxation rituals…

“My sister and I will be taking our mum to Spa 6 in the Cotswolds for a girly day out in October. We’ve booked the full package including an aroma massage, a facial treatment, manicure and pedicure.” Says Rockettine, whilst runner-up CazzaC is now planning a spa day with her best friend.

As for our first prize winners – once her SpaPod treatment is over, next on the list is full body massage, and as for poor SarahS – she’s currently studying for lots of exams, so next on her list is a nice relaxing massage to ‘de-stress’ her. We have a feeling our Elemis SpaPod giveaway may be able to help. It’s good to give.

One of the most famous UK spas - The Sanctuary has turned the big 30, but instead of having a mid-life crisis and introducing Botox onto their list of treatments, they’ve decided to celebrate by spreading a little Sanctuary love.

As any seasoned spa-goer knows, the women-only haven is located at the heart of London town – Covent Garden to be precise, and whilst it’s a great location for celebs and capital inhabitants to retreat too, it’s not so brilliant if you’re residing in the Pennines. That’s why they decided it was high time to up-sticks and bring their treatments to the masses, courtesy of a specially-made pop-up spa dome.

Divided into four private treatment pods with four complimentary ‘express’ treatments to choose from, you’ll be given the option of indulging in a Brightening facial, Reviving foot treatment, Luxurious hand massage or Soothing head, neck and shoulder massage – all of which will be administered using The Sanctuary’s signature product range, and will only take up fifteen minutes of your time.

Stopping off at six locations across the UK, the Sanctuary’s ‘Spa in the City’ will provide the perfect pampering experience for those who’ve never had the opportunity to visit the real thing. Open from noon til eight every night, there’s no excuse not to take a swift detour there on your way home from work, or if you’re feeling frivolous, why not head to the dome for some pre-drinks pampering? On tour throughout September, see below for the spa dome timetable…
