I met Gintare, owner of Blossom and Jasmine , the Home Beauty and Massage company, at an event in Chelsea a few months ago. She suggested I might like to try out one of their home beauty or massage treatments. A couple of months later, I finally got the chance.
I booked an 8pm appointment, counting on the fact my 3 year would be asleep (and she was!). The therapist set up in my bedroom, I put on some music and lit candles. The treatment was an hour long, which was good because often they are only 50 minutes and I’m always left wanting more. It was fantastic, I definitely drifted off a couple of times. The best thing about it was that when she left I was already home and I could relax. The only downside was my bedroom was a bit cold but the therapist did cover me in towels.
There’s something to be said about having a massage at a spa because of the pampering and the environment. But, there’s also something to be said about having a massage in the comfort of your own home. You can relax, you don’t have to drive anywhere, and you can collapse straight into bed.
The company, set up in 2009, has grown rapidly, with therapists available across the UK, attracting film stars, supermodels, TV presenters, corporate and fashion clients, and busy working mums. They offer from pregnancy massage, reflexology, facials and waxing, to make up lessons or special occasion makeup, hair styling and pamper parties (and Princess Parties for 5-16 year olds too)
The cost: a one hour massage with Blossom and Jasmine is £55. It’s not unusual to have to spend £90 for an hour’s massage in London, so the prices are very reasonable.

Sounds like absolutel bliss, especially for these cold winter evenings.

I’ve never heard of therapists coming to your home, but it makes great sense!
I have never tried this. I like to go to my friends house who has a beauty room set up in her house. I suppose it is the same thing – it seems more homely and relaxed than being in a room with four white walls.
