My Horror Spa Experience

This weekend was long-awaited as I've had quite a stressful week and was looking forward to relaxing. When I woke up in the morning, I didn't think I'd be able to go out at all because I felt worse than I did last night, my head was banging and I was in pains all over. I was having a fever again and I suspected it was malaria.

We had to go to the hospital for a checkup and test, I had malaria as expected. I was given the injection which I have to take 4 more times and I was also given other tablets. I also did some scans I had intended to do and was happy to see I am in good condition asides from this malaria hitting me hard.

That uplifted my mood and energized me a bit so we went ahead to the spa. It's a nice-looking place and quite comfortable. I was looking forward to the entire process. I chose to do facials, body massage, pedicure and body detox.

I was uncomfortable with the fact that the receptionist was not specifying what type of facials it was but I went ahead with it anyway, I mean, how bad can it be? Well, it was very bad, very very bad, for me that is. My husband had a different experience.

It all began with the hard cleaning and scrubbing. I didn't get it at all, I had never scrubbed my face that hard in my life and I know damn well you're not meant to do that kind of hard scrubbing to your facial skin. I endured it and was swearing in my mind that I'd never come here again.

I thought that was the worst until I felt sharp pains from something scrapping the pimples off my face. It was horrific and I kept screaming for them to stop but they wouldn't. I was losing my shit and they continued even when I struggled to get off the bed.

Note that I had been in pain all week and this morning was the worst of it all. Every bit of my body was aching and I even complained to my husband that poking any part of my skin was so painful.

The little energy I had garnered from the hospital suddenly left me and I was in severe pain. No one knew what I was going through even when I burst into tears. I was crying so hard, the pain shot through every part of my body and the whole thing kept going on. I was livid but in so much pain and too weak to express how I felt.

After the whole extraction process, I relaxed till they got off my face and then I went for the feet body detox thing. It was a struggle sitting still for it because I was back to square one of malaria pains thanks to the stress and pains I was put through in the guise of a facial.

I never trusted this ionic detox thing but I've always wanted to try it out to see if it really works. This image here is when I just got in the water. The lady added a bit of salt to the warm water and wrapped a band around my wrist that was connected to the detox device.

This was about 30 minutes later and there was only a slight change in the colour of the water. I asked why the colour barely changed and I was told it was because I don't have a lot of toxins in my system. I still doubt the efficacy.

Next was the massage, first, I liked the calm background music playing but then the room was too cold for me. At this point, I wanted everything to be over already so I undressed and got on the bed. I had to let the lady know I have malaria and she quickly understood she was meant to go easy on my body.

It was still painful but I could deal with it and I felt relief in some parts of my body. I was glad when it all ended and I went back to the lounge area and got the complimentary juice. It tasted funky but not so bad, I was too hungry to reject it.

I didn't get to do the pedicure because it was late in the evening already and I'm 100% sure I'm not going back to get it. This was not the experience I wanted and I'm mad pissed they thought it was funny that I was in tears.

I just wanted to relax with calming facials, not trigger my body more. I thought if you're unwell a spa experience would make you feel better, I thought wrong.
