Last month it was my cousin's birthday and to celebrate her fabulousness we descended upon Hale Country Club & Spa for a day of pampering Cheshire style.
Okay so if any of my readers lives up in Hale then you are truly blessed with the best country club in the world!! From the minute you enter to the moment you leave it is full on luxury with great customer service.
There were 6 of us booked into the spa day on the Spa Discovery package which is a full day at the spa, 1 x 60 minute treatment, lunch & refreshments.
We signed in at reception and organized who would go in first for treatments before heading down to the uber swanky changing rooms - man this place is like a 5 star hotel.

| This light is flattering to everyone |
 |
| Piece of fruit, Fruit infused water? Don't mind if I do! |
All wrapped up in the gorgeous robe and slippers we made our way back upstairs - 3 of us went in for our treatments and the other peeps chilled out/used the gym.
After a short while it was time for me to head in for my treatment. I had chosen the ESPA Anti Cellulite Hip & Thigh Treatment from a long list of treatment as y'all know I'm obsessed with my thighs. Oh my, this was heaven. I'm not too into being touched by randoms I'm just not a massagey type of person but this was truly relaxing. The masseuse really got in there with a series of lotion, potions and scrubs by ESPA.
It felt wonderful.
It felt wonderful.

| Oh man, no make-up at the spa :( |
After our treatments we hung out in the champagne lounge for a little while to let all the lotions and potions sink in. We sat back and sipped lemon water before heading onto the heated loungers and into the heated infinity pool.
 |
| Aaah this is the life |
There is nothing like swimming in an hot infinity pool with the crisp cool air around you.
 |
| Wellness pool - love it just like Hogwarts |
After a little relax and splash around it was time for lunch which we had already pre-ordered from a set menu. As we made our way over to the table there was champagne waiting for us and then the food came out.
 |
| Are all these for me?! |
I had ordered the Prawn Hot & Sour soup & Chicken Robata with Mango salsa.
 |
| Oh this was so tasty |
Other goodies ordered by my fellow spa-ers were Tempura sushi roll, edamame beans, sticky glazed pork & grilled haloumi cheese. For 20 minutes there was silences as we all tucked in.
 |
| All the food was lush |
The lunch was gorgeous & filling but not too much - after all you are on a spa day!
After lunch we then went into the Rasul which a room full of steam and mud! 4 little gorgeous pots full of different types of mud for the face and body ready to be rubbed all over. The room is gorgeous head-to-toe in tiles with a cute little bench probably not designed for 6 people though! It was a snug little fit but one of the highlights of the day. My skin felt like butter after washing the clay off for days afterwards.

| Who knew mud could be so much fun? |
Once we finished in the Rasul it was back to the spa area. I went into all of the different heat treatment rooms sauna, fire & ice, steam & salt.

| Sauna time |

| You know I stayed in the shallow end right? |
