High on life

This article is dedicated to people who love only themselves! You could be self obsessed(just like me) or finding ways to add some spice to your life or you could be just single; in any cases m sure you love yourself more than you love any one else on this planet. This obsession (which Ankit would term as ‘idiosyncratic behavior leading to waste of money’) has two major impacts , firstly, the marketers put their fingers where it hurts the most, secondly, after the feel good factor dies off, we just kinda get into a guilt trip.
It could be a heavenly chocolate avalanche form Mochas which I feel is as good as having an orgasm or could be a relaxing erotic massage from the Antara Day Spa. Last week was a little bad coz I had my boss yelling on me and leading to my dampened spirits; a very close of friend and I had a very bad fight over a guy, and to top it all my dad’s perfection and digging in the details about my career (which is good in a way) has kept me worked up. Weekends are like living life king size where I can get up any time I want, eat whatever I want, do whatever I want, but that Saturday I was upset with a list of pending things to be done. I just wanted a break, and that’s when the genie inside me pops up ‘Ma’am, your wish is my command!’ I headed to the Antara Day Spa (located inside The Club, Juhu), humming a beautiful song of Saaiyan by Kailash Kher. Entering the heavenly spa was like being welcomed to a completely larger than life erotic ambience. The lemon grass oil fragrance, the orchids and lilies; and the lights were enchanting and mesmerizing. My main craving to pamper myself was completely taken care by them, a very cute and husky voiced guy offered me some water introducing me to the wide variety of massages, body wraps, and facials, etc they had to offer. I chose a ‘relaxing aroma massage with a medium pressure’ (which is the best for starters like me and suited my pocket too) and in no time I had a masseuse who took me inside the spa room (the wild tigress inside me thought of a masseur instead of a masseuse…after all pampering yourself can be done by imagination too). While she waited outside the room for me to change into a robe I was relaxed with the ambiance of the room which was completely equipped with a spa area and also a steam and a shower room. She took care that I was okay with the volume of the soothing music playing in the background; and the intensity of the lights and started off with a treatment which a queen deserves – she started with soaking my feet in warm water inside a brass container and giving a small brief foot massage. Time for the massage, I was wondering how it will start and all my discomfort about stripping in front of her but was taken care perfectly. She started with using the right amount of the pressure and made sure it was consistent through out the massage. The whole thing was so relaxing that the next I remember was when I was woken up to go into the steam room followed by a shower. I got out of the shower blessing the masseuse who had made my day and the following week also. And while paying the bill I knew I m returning to this place and probably become a member even (saves money and gives you a royal treatment). In all I paid a 1450/- for the massage including the huge tax. Later, I headed to Mochas and ended up relishing a lip smacking chocolate avalanche which was made up of chocolate brownie topped with chocolate mousse and chocolate ice cream.
I would recommend the Antara Day Spa to everyone who love to pamper themselves. This weekend spend some quality time with your partner by requesting for a couple massage and take your relation to a different level. It’s a must do thing… Cheers
