As consumers, we readily splurge on a night out to dinner or the movies, but rarely spend on a luxurious treat for ourselves? I decided to indulge this week. On the flipside of an awful flu, two days in bed and a deadline to get past, my body was sore.
I made an appointment at Sheer Bliss Beauty Day Spa on the Noosa Marina and it truly was a blissful experience, to say the least.
Taking a seat on their private deck right over the rippling waters of the Noosa River, I sipped on sweet coconut lime juice and freshened up with a warm face towel as I waited for my stay in Spa Heaven to be ready.
Warm towels are a personal favourite, and they just kept coming to my delight!
Miranda tended to my every need and delivered to me a deeply relaxing and calming massage. In a candle-lit room with the subtle smells of peony blossoms and softly piping music, I sunk into the most delicious state of relaxation.
Every detail of Sheer Bliss has been considered. From the warm and welcoming staff, the glowing candles and flower petals, to the shimmering chandeliers and glistening water views, Sheer Bliss feels luscious and decadent.
As my tension let go and my body and mind fell further into calmness, I thought about how much we all need more of this type of pampering. It’s so easy to neglect our body, mind and spirit during our busy day-to-day tasks. I was reminded how important it is to take some time just for me and simply receive.
The next part of my treat was a coconut and rose petal soak. When the doors opened I was truly speechless. A room filled with flickering candles and petals across the floor, a steaming spa bath with sweet smelling oils and rose petals awaited me, complete with a dish of chocolates and a cool drink.
I soaked in the opulence of freshly picked rose petals for half an hour while my skin soaked in the nutrients from the beauty-boosting coconut milk. My Cleopatra’s Hydration Bathing Ritual was an utterly divine experience which left me feeling like royalty.
Sheer Bliss was everything I hoped it would be. I will be going back again, sooner rather than later, perhaps for a rich sea salt body buff and Sheer Bliss Techno Tan spray tan. Their formulation is enriched with aloe vera and has a heavenly coconut and vanilla bean summer scent. You can wash and wear in just two hours so as the cool weather disappears, these are perfect to get ready for shorts and skirts again.
I will also be making it a priority to spoil myself with regular luscious treatments off their menu. A full body massage infused with warm aromatic essentials oils, an opulent one-hour facial and collagen eye treatment or perhaps an IPL treatment to permanently remove my unwanted hair.
A session at Sheer Bliss is sure to leave your skin radiant and rejuvenated, your hands nurtured from the aromatic warm balm massage and your body and soul glowing just as it did mine.
A visit to Sheer Bliss is truly worth every cent.
