Cleanse
January 31, 2010 –I know I said I wasnt going to be doing too much travelling this year, but I have been bitten by the cold tooth of England -and it hurts :)
I fancy a detox, a spa break – in Thailand (again). However, I dont think I can take the time off. I have been looking though, at different options. Ohhh lovely places. I like Thailand, the last time I went I was backpacking on a year out; this time though, I want a teeny bit of luxury. I think with a spa break it has to be a stunning location where you go, thats therapeutic in itself isnt it? So I fancied a detox. No not like a alcoholic/drug addict detox, although refraining from the champers would not go amiss, I am sure ;) No I mean a serious, ‘get all that rubbish out of my system!’ detox and look and feel fantastic as a result of it.
I have been reading good things about detoxes but they sound absolutely horrific. Colon cleanses (I had one of those a few years back, not too bad, not nice though), nothing to eat but concocted juices ala carrot and beetroot, that sort of thing (will I start to munch on the furniture do you think?), I need to change my attitude – carrot and beetroot mush is GOOD!, massages – thats alright, yoga, fine with that. So not that bad at all really.
The problem is, I have thousands and thousands of flying club points with Virgin Atlantic and I wanted to use them for this but they dont fly to Thailand. They fly to lots of other places, yes but for some reason, it has to be Thailand for me, for this, if I venture abroad, maybe I should look into other places? Sooooo, after more initial research. I saw a place in Devon, a detox place. Didnt I just come from there? :) Devon in February? Not exactly inspiring or relaxing. Brrr. And then I got to thinking, why dont I just do it in London? You know do it myself. Pop out for massages (and yes another colonic), go to yoga classes every morning, blend my own juices, turn up the heating (sorry gas lady) and wear a bikini all week? Yes I could do that. The only problem is temptation. As the wonderful Oscar Wilde said ‘The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it… I can resist everything but temptation’.
I have many temptations here in London as you can imagine. One being getting an email from one of my fellas saying, ‘Ive booked us in at The Ivy, hope you are free lady!’ So what is a girl to do? Keep researching, thats what and do it next month, or the month after? :)
