Because you’re worth it!
There’s something special about being a woman. And it’s something only women will understand (sorry boys!). It’s difficult to put into words but things like bubble bath, taking our time to get ready, owning a 180 pairs of shoes, eating a whole box of chocolates and crying in movies kind of help explaining it. It is probably also the reason why we a specific day (9 August 2010) – in fact, it’s turned into an entire month here at Marie Claire – dedicated to celebrating women. Marvellous!
The office has been abuzz with what everyone is doing to celebrate being all women. If you are still undecided or haven’t given thought to it, I have just the thing for you to do… The One&Only’s Women’s Month Special. Seriously, you can’t go wrong. Let me explain:
See, I didn’t really get the opportunity to spoil my mom earlier this year on mother’s day, so decided to make it up to her this (women’s day) month – and booked her for a day of pampering at the One and Only hotel on Sunday. And while she was going, I decided to join her (I am a woman, after all, too).
After checking in, we sat down at the glorious Vista Lounge for Afternoon Tea. Hello all things dangerously delicious! They have over a 130 different teas to choose from and a buffet table filled with finger-licking-good savouries and sweets (I recommend the macaroons!). Nom!
We also indulged our bodies in another form – at the One&Only Spa. I can attempt to explain the experience in words, but its seriously better tried first hand: there’s a pool with all kinds widgets to pamper and rejuvenate weary bodies. And, of course, we had a 30-minute back and neck massage each.

Three words come to mind when I think of it now: Mind altering brilliant.
We spent the night sleeping on what felt like a cloud of air and woke up the next morning to good coffee (as a serious coffee-connoisseur I was delightfully impressed that the hotel has decent coffee machines installed in each room) and breakfast (which we ordered in… and enjoyed on our balcony overlooking Table Mountain).

But what made this deal really sweet was its price (R3999). If you, like me ever thought you couldn’t afford the One&Only, think again! Their Women’s Month Special is really worth it.
I might just have to swipe my credit card again this month and take my best girlfriend…
