I am sure you can tell by now that spa days are one of my favourite things to do on a weekend! A few weeks ago I visited the lovely Mottram hall to experience their spa day. Mottram Hall is Cheshire’s finest golf and leisure resort, surrounded by parkland in the glorious Cheshire countryside. It has the UK’s first Alfresco ThermoSpace which is the outdoor spa area, a relaxation room and offers a full range of beauty treatments. We began our day by the pool area which was very relaxing, first the jacuzzi and then the Brechelbath and Stonebath, two warm thermal rooms that gradually increase your body temperature. The indoor pool area has plenty of loungers so no need to leave your towel on a bed, although I can imagine the outdoor area to get quite busy in the Summer. The spa comprises 8 luxury treatment rooms including 2 double suites offering therapies to soothe and invigorate the mind and body. All the treatments use natural skincare and luxury spa brand, Espa (suitable for sensitive skin if you are wondering!)

Leading such a busy life calls for some planning which is why I’m sharing my review of the Happiness Planner. I discovered this brand only a few weeks ago and was very excited to receive the pink mid year planner in the post. It arrived in a beautiful pink box wrapped in tissue and bubble to which I was pleasantly surprised at the quality. The idea of the planner is to focus on what makes you happy. What I love about the design is that it is the perfect size and is spiral bound making it easy to open the pages and lie flat. It includes a section for both personal and work goals, a schedule section, notes, a to do list and it even has a meal section. At the top of each page there is a positive quote and at the end of each month there is a reflection section so you can review the month. This planner is available in both pink and blue to buy online and retails at £40.
