Korean Full Body Scrub and Back Massage at Mangwanani Boutique Spa – Mandela Rhodes

Mangwanani Boutique Spa at Mandela Rhodes Place is the latest addition to the Mangwanani family. This lovely spa lies in the heart of the city. Yet on entering the spa one totally forgets that they are surrounded by the hustle and bustle of city traffic and noise. You get transported into a tranquil mystical place far away, with the aroma’s of calming oils and soothing music playing in the background. You are greeted by lovely ladies with bright smiles who walk you through the formalities. You are then taken to the dining room, yes they have a lovely intimitate dining room at the spa for Afternoon Tea and Moonlight Night Spa dinner.

The treatment that we choose was a Couples Full Body Scrub and Back Massage. The Full Body Scrub is a new signature treatment of Mangwanani’s. It is a Korean Body Scrub. This treatment is done using a special hand mitt from Korea and warm water. But first you need to spend about 20 minutes in warm water to soften your skin. You can either use the jacuzzi one at a time, we opted to use the warm water pool. When the time for soaking was up, we were escorted back to our treatment room were two beds awaited us. Once on the bed and made comfortable, our eyes were cover with towels to block out the light. This added to feeling more relaxed. Our therapist began with the body scrub. The hand mitt and some warm water was used to exfoliate the skin. The therapist checked in on how we were doing and if the pressure was fine. The Korean Body Scrub was invigorating. It was gentle enough not to hurt you, yet effective enough to remove dead skin and get the circulation moving again. Oh and what nice polished skin I have after this treatment. The body scrub lasted about 60 minutes.

It was then time to wash off the dead skin cells. So we went for a nice hot shower making use of Mangwanani’s range of bath and shower products to pamper and lather. Mangwanani has a lovely selection of body pamper products for retail to either use at home or purchase as gifts. These products are luxurious and smell so amazing.

Back to our treatment. So after our hot shower we were ready for our back massage. We opted for the calming lavender oil. Already feeling like new people, relaxed and a ‘weight’ washed away. Our therapist worked on our backs like dough, kneading and strechting, working away knots and easing out tense muscles. Feeling like I was melting away into the bed and just about to fall into a deep sleep our therapist lightly pats me to let me know the treatment is over. I peep over at my husband and see that he feels just as relaxed as I am.

So, hubby gives the “Thumbs Up” and wants to know when we are going for our next pamper treat. He must be hinting as it is his birthday coming up, and our anniversary.

Thank you to the Lovely Ladies at Mangwanani Boutique Spa Mandela Rhodes for the welcoming reception, the relaxing and invigorating treatment.  Looks like you will be seeing us again very soon.

Remember to take along your swimming costumes if you want to make use of the pool and arrive earlier so you have plenty of time to enjoy yourself.

Mangwanani Boutique Spa – Mandela Rhodes Place (Cape Town) Grand Opening

by

IMG_3536

As one of the Mangwanani Brand Ambassadors in Cape town, I was invited to attend the Grand Opening of the Boutique Spa at Mandela Rhodes. We were welcomed in the familiar,warm Mangwanani greetings of African singing and dancing.

IMG_3746

The spa is modern and luxurious. The reception area, manicure and retail product display areas are light and airy. As you leave this section of the spa and make your way towards the treatment rooms the ambiance changes. The lighting dims and the walls are darker, the colour tones are soft and warm. You walk down corridors and turns, and notice the beautiful design items that give the spa its unique feel. The setting seems to have a hint of romance and mystical adventure to it. One forgets that they are still in the city surrounded by bustling traffic.

IMG_3747 IMG_3754 IMG_3750

The Spa has eight treatment rooms, a manicure station, a room where the foot rituals and head neck and shoulder massages are done, I think this is one of my favourite rooms as the lighting is so beautiful. The spa also has a dining room set up for Moonlight Night Spa’s And Afternoon Tea and an indoor pool.

Staff from all the Mangwanani branches in the Cape attended the Grand Opening. It was as though one big family had come to celebrate with singing and dancing. I also had the opportunity of meeting some fellow Cape Town brand ambassadors.

African Revitalization Day Spa @ Mangwanani Africa Spa Zevenwacht

Mangwanani African Spa – Zevenwacht

 

Mangwanani African Spa Zevenwacht is set atop a hill on the Zevenwacht Wine Estate. Overlooking the wine lands on the one side and on the other side  the beautiful City of Cape Town and one of the latest wonders of the world, the magnificent Table Mountain.

 Leaving the city behind and making your way towards the wine lands you will arrive at Zevenwacht wine estate at the foot of the hill. Following clearly marked directions you will shortly find yourself making your way up the hill through the wine farm. We opted for the self drive and managed to take our time enjoying the view.

Stunning views and decor

On reaching our destination we were greeted with a slight drizzle. The dull weather did not dampen our spirits. The air up on top of the hill was clean and fresh. Taking in a few breaths  we could already feel a sense of calmness.
The spa reception area also houses the retail section which is stocked with Mangwanani branded items from clothing to body products. A perfect time to stock up on luxurious pamper items to take home.
We were welcomed and directed to the dining area, a large room with a fireplace and large sliding doors and windows overlooking Cape Town and Table Mountain. At our table was a gown on each chair and table set out. We were told we had to get comfortable first and to change into the gown. We were to “lounge” in our gowns for the rest of the day. Sitting on couches in our gowns in front of a warm fire was just the start to this amazingly relaxing day. After a filling breakfast and some delicious cappuccino’s we were informed about the program for the day.

Relaxing treatments

After each treatment we thought that this could not get any better. We were so relaxed and pampered. It seemed like  we were floating on air. Every tense muscle was massaged and the knots kneaded out, the stresses and strains of everyday were worked out of our systems.

And even more treatments

Clinique Reviews

by

As a Clinique Insider in 2013, I learnt quite a bit about the brand and products. I also had lots of fun making these reviews. Acting is not as easy as it seems and my family were my biggest critics.  Looking into a camera and talking is not the same as having someone in front of you.  So after lots of takes, editing and loads of laughs from the family these video’s were broadcast.

I hope you enjoy them.
