So, sadly this Wednesday was my last week of work experience in the Spa. It was a great end to a great work experience, so here's what I got up to before I hit the road..
Same old story, I arrived at 8:50am on Wednesday morning. One of my supervisors had recently moved to another spa and there was a new receptionist. We introduced ourselves to eachother and got along very well straight away. It was kind of funny as she had only been working 2 days before hand, so I knew more about the whole place than her!
Throughout the morning I helped to collect old towels, look after clients that were coming in for treatments and get coffees & teas for members. I even got to make myself a hot cup of tea while I manned the receptionist (luckily, nobody rang!). I helped to set up treatment rooms, restock & light candles.. without burning any of my fingers!
I then had my lunch and made a d.e.-licious hot chocolate with steamed milk. Afterwards I helped to fold towels, continued to collect used ones, and stock up the drinks cabinet. I also learnt how to make mud for a 'rasul' treatment. (this is when you cover yourself in mud and sit in a sauna for 20 minutes until a sudden warm shower of water washed it all away)
Here's the fun part.. My supervisors later returned and gave me a beautiful card and box of thorntons chocolates! If that wasn't enough, they also gave me a FREE rasul treatment! It was lovely, and SUCH a nice thing for them to do! After the treatment I gave them my small parting gift of flowers and a card. I really enjoyed my time at the spa, and everybody was so nice, I wish I could go back!
