Thomas on the campaign trail...
Properly Pampered
Having a day off and 99.99% of my health back, I decided that some primping and pampering were in order.So I treated myself to a Swedish massage and a complete facial at Chelsea's palace of mail grooming, Nickel Spa for Men (pictured left in tiny photo - it was once a bank). One hour of massage, one hour facial, each in a dim room of blue light, covered by a towel, and for the massage, by nothing else... I brought my iPod and thoroughly zoned out, listening to some good new albums as the experts renewed my flesh and cleansed my pores.
Nickel was born in Paris in 1996,
as France's very first spa for men only. Nickel has a complete line of cosmetic products designed for male skin and male needs. I'm all over this!
I first learned about Nickel eight years ago on Fire Island when I saw a skin cream named very cleverly in both English (Morning After Rescue Gel) and French (Lendemain de Fete - 'day after the party' -' guaranteed to 'efface les exces de la nuit' - 'erase the excesses of the night. My nights don't have much in the way of excesses, but my face liked the product. Nickel also has a wonderful Eye Contour Lift called 'Attention Les Yeux,' which means either 'watch your eyes' or 'attention to/for the eyes,' great play on words...
Here's the blue room, the masseur at work, and the product showroom:
