Pampered at Beauty Perfection – it’s good for you too!

With the many challenges and pressures of modern living, who is not constantly looking for better ways to reduce stress? So, it was in the middle of a hectic week of travelling, work and deadlines that I happened to stumble across a solution right here in Port Elizabeth.

Beauty Perfection has had a great reputation amongst the locals for years, and after they recently moved to their new location, at Pine Road Business Park, on the corner of William Moffet Express Way and Pine Road, I decided it was time to renew my pamper passport.

Feeling rather exhausted from my week, I chose to try one of their new combination treatments – a Body Salt Glow Exfoliation followed by a Body Mask and perfectly ended off with a full body massage.

I must say, from the moment I walked through their door to the moment I left, the staff were friendly, welcoming and highly professional.

I was warmly welcomed by owner, Rachel and beautician, Melanie.

After we got the routine paperwork out of the way, it was time for 1 hour and 45 minutes of non-stop relaxation and rejuvenation.

Treat yourself to Perfection!

I was left to get ready for a few minutes after which Melanie returned to the treatment room to start my Body Salt Exfoliation.

She applied a salty-scrub and lotion and thoroughly massaged my skin with it. She painstakingly did my back, arms, hands, chest, stomach, legs and feet.

Afterwards, I was wrapped in a warm silver foil-like sheet before being treated to a soothing scalp massage.

I was then left to relax in this warm silver cocoon for about 10 minutes before Melanie removed the wrapping and, with a gown and slippers, I headed for a steamy hot shower.

Returning to my treatment room with glowing and baby-soft skin, I was looking forward to the last part of my pamper-treatment. My full body massage was first class – definitely second to none on the market. I could feel the knots in my back dissolving and the tension leaving my body with every stroke.

It was amazing!

All things considered, I totally enjoyed every minute of my treatment and left Beauty Perfection feeling like a brand new person – relaxed, refreshed and glowing from head to toes.

But why take my word for it?

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation? Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose.

Expensive is not always better. Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday. They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice. A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday.

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance. Of these, service is the most important.

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion. However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review. We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience? The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table.

Well that’s our theory anyway. It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced. However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience. In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe. It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
