If, like me, you have only just remembered it is Mother's Day this Sunday (whoops...) fear not - there's still time to treat Mummy to a little something special. With a host of last minute beauty treats available she need not be deprived of some pampering!
Lemongrass Boutique Spa: Newly-opened in one of London's chicest shopping destinations, Portman Village, Lemongrass Boutique Spa offers an oasis of calm just minutes from the hustle and bustle of Marble Arch. This Thai haven will transport you straight to Bangkok; established by three friends with over 38 years combined experience in traditional Thai therapies and holistic treatments, the spa is a treat on all the senses. Delicately scented, soothing music throughout and a cup of delicious Lemongrass tea upon arrival accentuate the amazing experience. The attention to detail is flawless; bowls of floating frangipani and lotus flowers, scented candles, delicate lighting, even specially imported doors separating the treatment rooms that can be slid open for parties - meaning you and mum can enjoy your treatments together. Mother's Day specials are available now - 30% off manicures, pedicures and waxing and their signature body scrub or hour long traditional Thai massage for just £39. The icing on the cake of this gem is they are open late until 11pm, 7 days a week - perfect for an evening of relaxation after a long day at work.
I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a traditional full body Thai massage, and I have to say it was an incredible experience. I left totally relaxed, revived and revitalised; the tensions of sitting hunched at a desk all day were pummelled out of me by the lovely Ing, and I slept like a baby afterwards. It comes HIGHLY recommended! For more information or to book visit www.lemongrassboutiquespa.co.uk or call 020 7258 7997
