The heat wave in Delhi! It has made me so lazy. All I want to do all day is chill out with a cooler and a good book in my bed with a/c on. Going out in this heat is like going out on a suicide mission! Add to it the early monsoons and the humidity and everything goes down hill. I had been keeping my hair up in a bun that I had forgotten how it feels to have your waves fall over your shoulders. As soon as I got a break from house shifting, I ran to a salon near my area and went straight for a hair spa. What I love about hair spas is that apart from leaving the salon with movie star hair, you also get some decent head and shoulder massage which nobody can say no to. Since I moved to this area of Delhi recently and had no idea about good hair salons, so I picked this salon called Krushhh by Konica near Vikas Surya Mall in Rohini. Continue Reading…

A lot of you asked me about my new hairstyle. I recently got my hair cut and this time it was from a celeb hairstylist! I know! The guys over at TIGI Bedhead invited me over at their lounge in Gurgaon and I readily agreed. Who wouldn’t? The ocassion was that Ralf Boss, Creative director of TIGI Taiwan & Asia South Pacific was coming to Delhi and he wanted to meet me in person and talk about all things hair. He is such a fun guy! And one of the ONLY hair stylists who understand that an inch is just an inch. I told him to to not go short with my hair and he didn’t. I half expected to walk out of the door with a bob but I’m pleased he listened to my concerns. We decided on a lot of waves and mind you..messy waves. I didn’t want anything clean and organized and so did he. So we decided on bedhead waves! Continue Reading…

What a day! I still feel the warmth of the otherwise cold January morning when I look back at the spa day I spent at Sawadhee Spa. You know how I was a bundles of nerves during my first spa experience (I wish they had secret cameras there so I could show you my face) but this time I was a lot relaxed and chilled out..after all I wasn’t a spargin anymore! So off I went with my favourite girl to spend a day of relaxing and pampering to this property in Vasant Kunj. Its the Sawadhee Traditional Thai Spa. The property is located in a calm and serene place as you would expect from a luxury spa. Since its not located inside any hotel so you can use the outdoor space to take photos and selfies to instagram (alright yes I did! We shot an outfit near the stairs)

By the time we finally entered through the doors, the receptionist and other girls must have made an opinion on us..we did give them plenty of time (and poses) to judge us! Although I hope wish they didn’t. Before deciding our services we were given a tour of the spa and went through each of their oils and scrubs (which they make themselves..some secret recipe) to pick our favourites to be used during the spa therapy. I picked the lavender oil and chocolate scrub (or was it coffee?) Oh yes we opted for a couples room with private steam sauna bath and jacuzzi. Loved the concept of private bath which my last spa at Mariott didn’t provide (and made me a wee bit uncomfortable) So yep if you are going with your partner or just your girls then opt for couple rooms..they are amazing.

I opted for the aromatherapy oil massage followed by a full body chocolate scrub. In summers they give a thai wrap as well which I would love to try. The 90min oil massage session was a bliss. At first I was mentally checking my things to do for the upcoming holiday but I don’t remember when I dozed off. After the scrub we took the sauna steam bath and then proceeded to our Jacuzzi for the day. Well oh well that lasted for around 2hours..I don’t know how our discussion about our graduation subjects ended up on life mysteries. Yepp no freaking clue. I guess it was the coffee with bourbon.

If you want a nice couple time with your boy complete with rose petals and candles then Sawadhee Thai Spa is your guy. Highly recommend the ayurvedic oil massage and oil-less thai massage (which my friend loved).

The salon was getting ready when we visited so I guess now they are providing facials, etc too.

Price: I recommend you opt for packages instead of single services. Check the website for the exact list of services available along with the price list.

Tip: Make a reservation before you go. And take along some dark chocolates and wine to fuel the jacuzzi party since they don’t serve food and you might get hungry after a while.
