'Me' Time For Mums: Where's the best place for a pampering?

With the kids back to school this week, it’s time for mum to chill out and get back into the swing of pampering!

Curly or straight, highlights or lowlights, Fresh Hair Design will gladly oblige – go the extra mile and a have a photo session too, to remember your day by! And don’t forget to prettify those nails too – the Millenium Nail Salon can bling up your feet and as well as your hands!

The Angel Energy Centre promises a ‘feast for the eyes and food for the soul” and when you view the pamphlet and see ‘Chocobeauty Facial’ listed, you know you’re so worth it ...

In fact, you can be waxed, massaged, buffed, tinted and generally spoilt with very little travel involved at all! Dawn of Beauty and Tranquility Day Spa both offer a varied range of treatments to revive or to beautify the mind and body, whilst Spirit Health Club provide a lifestyle consultant to give you a complete overhaul (leaving you ready to cope with half term!) 

For those more energetic mums, why not make a trip to the Roffen Sports and Social Club? A work out in the gym, a bit of a swim and then relax at the 144 jazz club (my kind of day, if I’m honest. ‘Cept, perhaps replace the gym bit with coffee and cake!)

The inside of your body is just as important, you need to keep up the energy levels for a spot of retail therapy – pop into The Garden House for lunch and stock up from their prolific range of Kentish and continental organic goods. Plus, Holland and Barrett have all the supplements you need to feel tip top. But if you’re feeling more decadent, why not stop for a Champagne Afternoon Tea at Rochester Coffee!

Kiss Kiss Heart is perfect for the afore-mentioned retail therapy; clothes, bags and generally just lots of pretty things in pretty colours – a proper shop for the girls, you can while away the remainder of the day quite happily! Once kitted out, fully coiffed, bronzed and raring to show off – hit the Casino Rooms! Or not - you don’t actually have to leave your home to be pampered - your very own Cocktail Club can be delivered to your door, and Angel Energy Centre will happily come along for a girls’ night in pamper party. If you’re not feeling fully re-charged by then – have the kids adopted!

You should comfortably be able to fit the full works into one day – check out our directory for the local health and beauty spots in your piece of Rochester. If you find anyone that makes your day, don’t keep them all to yourself - review them!
