A Day At The Red Door Spa || New York

 A trip to New York is never complete without a visit to The Red Door Spas by Elizabeth Arden. This was my second visit and this time I took you guys along !!! My fiancé Vaibhav also indulged in a little spa time for the first time in his life! I don't think either of us will ever forget this day coz we went to Central Park after the spa and thats where he popped the question!!!! :)

My spa session started with the Signature Red Door Facial which is the best thing you can do for your skin!!! My skin wasn't great coz I had been travelling a lot and shooting videos non-stop for you guys, so it just lapped up all the pampering.  This is an elaborate facial with many steps and they use all these amazing Red Door Spa products to leave your skin as soft as a baby's bottom! You can watch lovely therapist working on my face in the video below.  After my facial I went in for a 50 minute Signature Massage which is definitely by far one of the best massages I have had. They have these cozy heated massage beds  that will make you relax as soon as you lie down. The therapist works on you part by part relaxing every muscle in your body! 

Vaibhav's not someone who goes to a spa regularly or gets a relaxing massage so I was curious about how he felt post all this! His spa session included the Gentelmen's Facial & the 50 Minute Signature Massage and here's what he had to say, "The massage was just what I needed after walking all over New York for five days. The aromatherapy aspect to the massage was really refeshing. It was my first time at a spa and I will be going back very soon "

I also bought some of my favourite Elizabeth Arden products from the store above the spa. I got the Eight Hour Cream & the Ceramide Capsules !!!! 

Thank you Red Door Spa's for spoiling me and pampering me on such a special day!!!

Here are some pictures and a video from my spa visit...

Lakme Absolute Salon - Review

Hello my lovelies,

 So I visited the Lakme Absolute Salon at Bandra to get a facial and I can't tell you how impressed I was. The Salon is very spacious and has a runway right in the middle so if you feel like a supermodel after your service you can strut your stuff too! The walls are full of beautiful black and white images shot backstage at Lakme Fashion Week.

My consultation started with a detailed skin analysis by their skin expert. Now this is great coz they actually use a camera to take pictures of your skin and then transfer them to the computer, after which their skin analysis software gives you a detailed description of the skin type and current condition. Then they will tailor make a facial which is best suited for your skin. So you don't just go in and get a regular facial you get exactly what your skin needs. :)

She told me my skin was oily but a bit dehydrated which was due to my hectic shooting schedule and a family wedding I'm guessing. So they recommended an Algae facial to hydrate my skin.

Their therapy rooms are nice and spacious and my therapist was amazing. The facial was so relaxing and after she was done she gave me a short neck and back massage which I am still blessing her for! The facial left my skin feeling as soft as a baby's bottom!  I am definitely going back to the salon very soon. I was very impressed with the Lakme Absolute Salon and when you visit I'm       sure you will be too!

DIY Session At Warren Tricomi

Hello Lovlies !

                 This post should have gone up earlier but for some reason I couldn't find the pictures from the event on my Mac! But don't worry I managed to get some from my phone and I stole some from the Warren Tricomi Facebook page ;) Im sure they wont mind . Hehe
               
                  So Warren Tricomi invited some beauty bloggers for a DIY hairstyling session at their Mumbai salon. I was really excited coz as you all know I love doing hair tutorials on my YouTube channel. They showed us a few basic hairstyles which were great. I also did fellow blogger Karishma Rawat's hair and gave the girls a tutorial on my Game Of Thrones inspired hairstyle.

                 The spa & salon was very spacious. I loved the massage rooms!!! They were so nice and big unlike the little cubicles you see at spas these days and I must say very tastefully done up too. And guess what!!!! Every room had an attached steam room too! Now this is something a lot of spas don't have. I am actually really looking forward to visiting the Spa again and this time Im gonna make sure I get a massage . I need more pampering!

Here are some pictures for you guys ...

Red Door Spa

Starting your day at the spa on a Monday morning seems like a dream, right? Well yesterday I was a very lucky. A very dear friend sent me to the Spa for some TLC ! So I went to The world renowned Red Door Spa on 5th Avenue , which is definitely the best spa I have ever been to . So they check you in and escort you to this huge changing room to get you started. I was getting 3 services so I started with  my massage and then went in for my facial and eye contour. They have a lovely relaxation area where you can read, sleep or just put your feet up n relax until your therapist comes and gets you. 

My massage therapist Courtney  took me up to one of the lovely massage rooms which were a lot bigger than the ones I've been to at Indian spas. The thing I loved the most in the Spa was the was the way they use heat in all their services. It just makes such a huge difference.  As soon as I got into that massage bed I knew I was in for a treat. So the bed is heated and there's a nice big blanket for you to slip into which was perfect coz it was a cold day. Not only that the beds all move like an airplane seat so u can have your legs up or arch your back . Sooooooooooo cozy !!! So coming to my massage, it was absolutely amazing my therapist knew exactly how much pressure to apply. And what I liked is she din't use a lot of oil. ( I din't have to shower like a million times after my massage like I usually have to) She very slowly massaged every part of my body and each time she was done with a part she would wrap it in a hot towel . When she said she was done I only agreed to leave the bed coz I knew I had another service lined up ;) 

After my massaged was taken to another room for my facial and eye contour. That service started with the therapist layering my hands with lotion and then putting them into heated mittens and giving me a heated tummy pack. So I was in heaven way before my facial even started.  Then she applied some serum like thing all over my face that stung a bit and put me under the steamer. The best thing about this service was that she took out all my blackheads (n I have a lot !!) with a tissue and her hands , just massaged them out with her fingers. She dint use that terrible metal thing with a ring that most people use . That leaves  terrible marks and usually I look red for a couple of days after I get my blackheads removed. But the way she did it I never had a single mark on my face and my skin looked flawless !!! She combined the facial and the eye contour so I finished with both at the same time . And after everything my skin felt  n looked amazing . 

So if you live in New York or your just visiting you must go to the Red Door Spa. I highly recommend it and I am listing the services below with the names of my therapists coz they were amazing.

Deep Tissue Massage (60 minutes) - Courtney

Red Door Signature Facial (60minutes) - Drew

Customised Eye Countour - Drew
