Spa Review: Spa of Senses Last month, Louise and I tried out the Spa of Senses at Worsley Park, A Marriott Hotel and Country Club. Read our review...

FIRST IMPRESSIONS The Spa of Senses is located within the luxurious Worsley Park, an ideal setting for an indulgent experience.

The Spa itself has a tranquil atmosphere, decorated in neutral, calming, earthy tones. There are four spacious treatment rooms and a relaxation room where you can rest on loungers listening to serene music, before and after your treatment.

THE TREATMENTS I had a 1 hour Decleor Aroma Facial, and Louise opted for a Decleor Taster Facial combined with a Back, Neck & Shoulder Massage.

The treatment rooms were very soothing - dimly lit and full of the gorgeous smell of oils. The beds were incredibly comfortable with soft towels and fleecy blankets. They were even heated, making it very hard to want to get up and leave!

Both therapists, Jade and Jen, explained the treatments clearly, ensuring we were comfortable with all elements.

Decleor Aroma Facial - The treatment began with a mini back massage, which unwinds you straight away, followed by an in-depth facial routine consisting of: 2 deep cleanses, tone, gentle exfoliation, oil & face massage, nourishing mask and cream. Plus, whilst the mask is on, you receive a hand, neck & shoulders massage. It was all very sumptuous. The Decleor products are made from natural ingredients and smelled wonderful - light, fresh and almost edible!

Decleor Taster Facial and Mini Massage - Louise, “the Taster Facial consisted of a cleanse, tone, exfoliation and mask. The products smelled beautiful and felt really soft on my skin. Jen pushed the pressure points on my face and gently massaged the products into my skin. I was left with cool pads on my eyes while the mask worked and I fell into a dreamworld. For the back massage, I requested firm pressure and it was great. She used oil and highlighted an area of high tension on one shoulder and worked hard to undo the knots. All in all, it was a very relaxing experience”.

THE VERDICT We both felt very relaxed and sleepy, but rejuvenated too. My skin was noticeably brighter, younger looking and less tired. Since then my skin has been clearer and smoother, but I did invest in a good Decleor Facial Wash (I'm too lazy to cleanse & tone) which has probably helped too.

It was definitely worth the visit, and would be fantastic on a regular basis. Having that time out purely for yourself and to be pampered was wonderful. Total indulgence, but a necessary pick-me-up in our hectic lives of work and children. I savoured every minute of it!

PRICE LIST Examples of popular treatments:n Decleor Aroma Facial £45 n Decleor Aroma Envelopments £45 n Decleor Top to Toe Bronzing £40 Spa Packages Combination of treatments:n 2 hrs from £75 n 4 hrs from £135 n One for the Boys £69 The Spa Packages include

Eat Well, Look & Feel Great this Summer!

The nutritional key to great hair, skin, nails and energy levels lies in a healthy, balanced diet based on fresh, unprocessed foods. Eat lots of fruit and vegetables, with lean protein, wholegrain carbohydrates and small amounts of unsaturated fats and you'll bounce through the summer!

Here are 8 foods we recommend...

Extra virgin, cold pressed olive oil. Low fat diets can leave your skin dry, your hair dull and nails brittle, so drizzle a small amount of olive oil over your salad or use for pan frying.

Salmon is the superfood for hair and skin. Omega 3s help maintain scalp health and moisturise skin, rendering it more smooth and supple. Salmon also contains zinc, which helps avoid white spots and brittleness in nails. Plus it's a great source of protein.

Beans are one of the best foods you can feed your hair. This includes kidney beans and lentils. These foods contain protein, zinc and biotin which is a powerful hair growth and strengthening formula.

Chicken is also a great source of protein, which helps avoid hangnails and white bands on nails. It is a good source of Vitamin B12 which is essential for keeping skin hydrated, helps avoid nail discolouration and maintain hair colour.

Berries pack a great anti-oxidant punch, which not only help fight cancer, but also promote wonderfully healthy-looking skin.

Broccoli and other dark green leafy vegetables contain vitamins A & C which are essential for the production of sebum, the oily substance that lubricates and conditions hair follicles. Vitamin A also improves the look and feel of skin through collagen formation.

Yoghurt is a source of calcium, which is essential for the production of strong, healthy nails, bones and teeth.

Brown rice provides energy over an extended period, along with other wholegrain foods like wholemeal bread, pasta and cereals. These foods help to keep your blood sugar levels steady, avoiding sudden drops that leave you feeling low on energy.

Finally, make sure you are drinking plenty of water to keep your skin looking younger and smoother, and to keep your energy levels high.

Serving our Community...

St Ann’s Hospice, Little Hulton Set in a quiet leafy lane just outside Worsley, St Ann's Hospice in Little Hulton celebrated its 30th anniversary last year. Together the hospice staff and it’s dedicated volunteers provide support and specialist care to patients and their families and carers in the Salford and Manchester area.

St Ann’s hospice, founded nearly 40 years ago, has grown to become the largest hospice in the North West, serving a population of 1.2 million people in Greater Manchester.

Across 3 sites over 3,000 people use St Ann's services each year in a range of settings: as an inpatient in the hospice or whilst living at home.

Patients can also access day therapy services as an outpatient. All services are free of charge.

The hospice employs over 300 staff and is supported by over 750 volunteers.

The hospice’s mission is to offer patients and their families and carers supportive and specialist palliative care to help them cope with complex symptoms and pain

Latest news...

Here at On Our Doorstep, we have been very busy since the last issue!

Firstly, we welcome Louise Adkin to the team who has joined to help grow the advertising side of the magazine.

We will soon have an On Our Doorstep website up and running. It’s currently under development very exciting!

resulting from life limiting illnesses and help patients maximise their quality of life. Over 90% of patients have cancer-related illnesses but the hospice also cares for patients with other life limiting illnesses.

The NHS contributes just over 35% of the annual £9 million running costs. This means the hospice has to raise £16,000 every single day and it's the generosity of the public that keeps the hospice running. For every £1 raised in 2008/9, 92p was spent directly on the cost of patient care.

St Ann's stages a whole host of fundraising events as well as supporting events throughout Greater Manchester run by volunteer fundraisers in the community and in businesses.
