While
the boys hung out with their granny, I ducked off for a bit of me time.
This weekends Ladies Pamper Party and Beauty Fair at Augusta Country
Estates Golf Club was entirely fabulous, and while similar to the last,
this one afforded us more pampering. For the price of a ticket my
friend and I received a goodie bag full of delectable samples of high
end products, slippers, body products and a
beautiful yellow rose on arrival. This was followed by a welcome drink
which ranged from our choice of sherry, wine or fruit juice.
The club had been transformed into a pampering fiesta on both floors. There were so many delightful free treatments to choose from, we almost didn’t know where to begin…..manicures, mini-facials, make-over, hand treatments, foot massages, neck and shoulder massages, hairstyling, the list goes on. The treatments on offer were mostly undertaken by students from the Beauty Academy as part of their training as well as some sponsored by individual suppliers. My amazing friend didn’t stand a chance as I took the opportunity to test out a few of the auto settings on my new Nikon D5100, and she became my model. (Photo album to be loaded later). This seemed to cause some murmurings amongst the crowds of ladies, a few of whom enquired about why my buddy had the paparazzi following her around – LOL.
Each of our tickets were also entered into the lucky draw and the range of prizes was stunning. To add even more hype, the handbag game gave us another opportunity to win spot prizes if you could make it to the MC with the called for items faster than the next woman. That led to some hilarious antics as rather a few highly competitive women dug frantically in their handbags to haul out what was called for.
Amidst the beauty regimes you could also treat yourself to a bit of a shopping spree with many lovely things on offer at brilliant prices. Once again I made a beeline for the cupcakes, a delicious indulgence, after which I picked up two super jerseys from Simply Stunning fashions at a discounted price. I also spotted a beautiful handbag which my sneaky mate later surprised me with as a gift. What a special friend!
With so much action on the go, one does get a tad peckish. It’s comforting to know that a quick trip up to the bar area yields a large range of cheese and biscuits which can be joyfully washed down by another glass of wine! I have heard rumours that there is to be another ladies day in October, so I will definitely be keeping my ears to the ground.
