More than an ordinary bath: My Lush luxurious sticky dates bath was a calming Sunday afternoon treat

For me, rest and relaxation are markers of a good Sunday afternoon time well-spent.

I believe that this time each week is important to ensure that your mind is all set and prepared for the coming week ahead.

Yesterday, I tried something completely new, and it definitely enhanced my usual typical Sunday afternoon routine.

With the exception of the piercing buzz of the government's 3 pm alarm test on my way to Lush, my Sunday afternoon was incredibly peaceful.

This was largely thanks to my Book A Bath appointment at Lush Spa at 3.15 pm, and I was looking forward to a relaxing soak.

This was my first time, trying out the Book A Bath experience, and Lush’s newest products on this offering were:

• Scented wax melt
• Spa exclusive bath bomb
• Sticky Syrup soap
• Sticky Dates body scrub
• Sticky Dates body lotion
• Sticky Dates body spray

As soon as I arrived, the team working at Lush were extremely hospitable towards me.

When you first arrive at Lush Spa you sign a form and they make sure that you’re not allergic to any of the products that they have on hand. They also provide you with lovely refreshments, like lemon water.

Once I settled in, I was taken to the lovely spa area, while you can peruse the treatments that Lush Spa have on offer, aside from the Book A Bath experience. Lush Spa also offers a wide-array of spa treatments. These include massages, facials, sound baths, and foot and scalp massages.

Then I was taken into the back where the therapist calmly walked me through the variety of products that I would be trying for the experience.

The therapist runs you a bath, puts all the products that were explained in the bath, along with other bath stuff you may need. Once inside, you can readjust the temperature to your liking.

I particularly enjoyed using the Sticky Dates body scrub, it was perfect for exfoliating in a way that was kind to my skin. I felt incredibly refreshed after using the scrub all over my body.

I appreciated the swirl of sweet and sugary scents from the soap products, the steamy bathroom and a beautiful, soft background music that enhanced this bathing experience.

A speaker signals that it's time to get out of the bathtub when the allotted thirty minutes have passed.

Then when done, I met the therapist back up front, as she prepared me a lovely cup of chai that was warm and comforting.

Overall, the experience was one that I’d recommend to anyone wanting to shake up their usual Sunday routine. It is a well-deserved treat, and who doesn’t love a good luxurious bath?
