We hadn't seen each other in a good few weeks, so it was so good to catch up, also meant we could make some plans for blog posts and videos for you guys! As a cheeky treat I took Yasmin to Pontlands Park Spa - Reflections for the day!
Pontlands Park is a Hotel in Essex, and they also have a spa that people are able to visit using a day pass or some have yearly memberships, it's a little on the pricey side for the membership, but it was £17 each for a day pass. With a day pass you get full access to 2 heated pools, one indoor one outdoor, jacuzzi, hot tub, steam room, sauna, plunge shower and gym. Wednesday was all about relaxing so we gave the gym a miss.
You have to eat the food provided on the premises, rather than take your own, which wasn't crazy expensive £1.80 for a good old cup of tea! They did sandwiches, salads, jacket potatoes all sorts of your typical lunchie bits. We decided to go for a platter, which had olives, halloumi cheese, houmous and pitta bread. Safe to say I ate most of the olives, Yaz wasn't too keen! It was £4 for the platter which was a fair size snack for both of us to keep us going after an afternoon of swimming and relaxing. While we were eating we popped on our playsuits, just cheap ones from H&M, just to cover us up while we were in the patio area.
We were quite lucky that the sun came out! In the morning it was very over cast in Chelmsford. I even caught the sun a bit!
After we had our little snack, teas and coffees at lunchtime we then went into the jacuzzi and the sun was shining, so warm in there I nearly fell asleep, that and the fact I had to shut my eyes because I'd forgotten to pick my sunglasses up off the lounger!
We then had a couple more drinks, just chilled on the loungers around the pool reading some magazines, it was was the ultimate girlie chilled day out! I think we both deserved it after having such a crazy time over these last few months with University and work!
The facilities at Reflections were superb, very clean, modern, comfortable sun loungers inside and out. I've been before and I would definitely go again! Just next to the Spa at Pontlands there is also Acacia beauty rooms, where you can book in to have treatments while you spend the day at the spa, anything from massages, manicures, pedicures and waxes if you're feeling brave! Unfortunately there were no appointments available for the day that we went, but it's absolutely something we want to do next time we go! (There will be a next time!)
Here are some of the essentials we took with us for the day, and around the pool:
Bikini or Swimsuit
Flip flops
Magazines
Sunglasses
Phone & Headphones
Purse
Sun cream
Playsuit
Towel
A pound for the lockers
I hope you liked this post! Have you been to any spa days or days out recently that you would recommend?
Do you have someone's birthday coming up, then take them somewhere like this!
