466. Last Friday I discovered the real Urban Oasis in Barcelona, this sanctuary is called The Beautery. Located right in the heart of Eixample (Calle Bruc) this beautifully interior design shop has absolutely everything you need to purely relax. They take care of absolutely the smallest detail. From the moment your are greeted with tea or coffee, super clean, beautiful relaxing music and wonderful service.
I personally had the please of having a pedicure done by Anait on Friday and I loved it so much, I went again today to try the lash extension this time with Lisette. Super professional in all senses, very quite peaceful, i seriously thought I was in my urban oasis in Barcelona.
I have tried many spas in Barcelona but this one for me is the Best one located in Eixample. Adriana was really lovely upon my check out and cannot wait to go back.
Thank you ever so much for taking care of absolutely all details and give me a 5 star service in everyway!

Personal Shopper Experience

5/2/2016

173. Have you ever had a Personal Shopper Experience? Have you ever met one? I had the honor and the pleasure of meeting one myself and it was a dream come true. I was asked to be analyzed by a team of women who were training to become personal shoppers and for almost an hour I was asked, measured and analyzed my likes and dislikes. They genuinely show interest in how you feel and their policy is “grow throughout your image”. I felt really comfortable and pampered by the Personal Shopper Deluxe Team and especially by its Managing Director Piluka de Echegaray who is an absolute adorable person. She makes you feel taken care of at all times and is a pleasure to deal with. I strongly recommend checking our their services and experience this unique and modern new concept!
