Pampered to perfection

Posted on by

Looking for a bit of a lift to brighten up the dull, dark days of winter?

Well, there’s nothing better than a little ‘me time’, especially if it comes with the chance to indulge in a spot of shopping and a healthy dose of pampering too.

So here’s a date for your diaries when you can enjoy all that and more – and just in time for Valentine’s Day…

There’ll be plenty of treats to try and buy at the Ladies Pamper Evening taking place from 6.30pm to 9.30pm on Saturday 10 February at Bottesford Village Hall.

Enjoy a relaxing massage or an Indian head massage – polish up your act with a new nail colour – tidy up your brows or try a tint on your lashes – and while you’re there check out some of the different holistic and homeopathic therapies also on offer.

You’ll be spoilt for choice on the retail therapy front as well, browsing among a range of stands selling everything from candles, jewellery and garden gifts to handmade fabric pictures, knitted and sewn items and tanning products to name just a few.

Tickets are £2 each in advance or £3 on the door. Call Wendy on 07961 240654 or Juliette on 07946 368308 for more details and to reserve your ticket – or just turn up on the night ready to banish those winter blues for an hour or two!
