So many in the blogging community are self care advocates which I love. I’m all for shouting about self care but I am not here to claim myself the expert. Far from it. In fact, honestly, I am pretty terrible at making myself a priority in any way. Today though, I have a big self care secret for you. One I think you’ll all love. Here is how you can create the ultimate self care spa night from home thanks to Temple spa.
Who are Temple spa?
First of all let’s have a look at who Temple spa actually are.
21 years in the making and this Sussex based company are delivering top quality skincare products. Not just to your home but across a range of luxury spas in the UK.
Thanks to Lock down, Temple spa have decided to embrace the self care spa night in the comfort of your own home. I’ll be honest, this is the absolute dream! Luxury in the comfort of my own home? Hell YES!
The ultimate self care spa night from home
To prepare for your self care spa night, your host, in my case the lovely Mandy will send you the sample pots you’ll be using on the night.
When that lovely green padded envelopes drops through the letterbox, you will smell it before you see it. Mandy shared on one of our events that she actually sprays the bag with Quietude. You’ll be instantly transported to the most luxurious spa. It honestly smells just like every one I have ever been to. Not that I have been to loads, I am not that fancy!
Your host will let you know of anything you may need on the night. Hot towels, hot water a towel etc and then of course the all important zoom link.
How to get the spa mood flowing
The events I have attended have always been an evening. Knowing that I have that to look forward to after a busy day at work is enough to get me in the mood.
But I want to embrace the whole experience. I find making time for self care almost impossible at times, having the structure of an organised event means I have no excuse.
I start by showering and getting in to my PJs. (You will be so chill after this event that you’ll want to slip straight in to bed. Honestly you’ll thank me for this!)
Then I light the candles, turn the lights down and settle in for an evening of indulgence. Maybe even pour myself a gin!
How the night works
Your host will lead the whole evening, talking you through each product and each step in the spa process. This is ideal as if you’re anything like me I really would have no clue where to start.
The first and second event I took part in was a facial. Using 6 different Temple spa products we gave our face the complete works. From toning to gold face masks. Every item felt like luxury and despite doing the treatments yourself it honestly didn’t feel like it lacked that spa feel.
The third event was a full body treatment. I don’t think any of us quite new how this would work but it was brilliant. We got to try out new products and they were sensational. Working first on our hands before moving on to the Aaahhh! cream for the back of our necks. It can be used on feet as well and has a beautiful cooling effect. Perfect after a long hard day at work.
We then used a sugar scrub on our legs, I am not normally a huge scrub fan as I find it a nightmare to work in and get off. This though felt like it just scrubbed away, it was gentle, smelt delicious and left my skin super soft.
We finished off with a body truffle moisturiser which was to die for. I could still smell this on my skin this morning!
The zoom call in our case, was people we each knew. This meant we all felt comfortable massaging our make up free faces in front of each other. It was a night in with the girls while staying at home.
Would I recommend the experience?
Hell YES! It was a great way to socialise, I have learned about some brilliant products and it has encouraged me to take more of an interest in my skin care regime.
Of course the host is running a business, one where the goal is to make money. At no time during the evening though did I feel that I was being sold to and I felt NO pressure at any point to buy.
In fact it was only after my 3rd event that I decided to take the plunge and have bought myself a gift set to try out 9 different products. I know using the skills Mandy has shown us that I am much more likely to use these regularly.
If you’d like to check out the products or contact Mandy to arrange your own self care spa night, you can find her on Temple spa with her contact details to arrange. It is a brilliant way to meet with friends while we roadmap our way out of lock down.
Disclaimer – Although I received these items for free, this is open to anyone. I was under no obligation to share my experiences. I have purely shared because of how much I enjoyed the spa night event.
Is this something you have taken part in or would you consider getting your pals together to give it a go?
This sound like an absolute must-try! I love a spa night, but never had the chance to attend an event and I think I never really went to one yet! My sister would love the body truffle moisturiser, maybe will check it out as a present for her birthday, thanks for sharing x
It was incredible. We all deserve to treat ourselves to once in a while x x
I absolutely love Temple Spa’s bits! I need a good mask in my life, I rely on sheet masks but they don’t always give me the clean feeling that I know Temple can!

I was honestly blown away by the quality and how amazing they felt and wow the smell!
I have never heard of temple spa but they sound like an amazing brand. It’s been so long since I treated myself to a spa night 😥. I really need a spa night where I’m gonna relax and be spoilt haha. There’s been so much going on and my exams are starting next week. I’ve been so busy and this is a great way to relax and give myself some loving. You definitely reminded me of the fact that I have some self care to do. I loved this xx
Thanks Ruth. You need to make some time to relax before your exams and certainly treat yourself once they are done. Good luck with them x
What a really good idea! It just shows that businesses can overcome any obstacles when they get creative. I’ve had a couple of temple spa products before and they’re really good – the scents always reminds me of being in a real spa.
They smell incredible don’t they. I love how inventive companies have been this last year x
This experience sounds amazing. I have never heard of temple spa but I think I need to try it. Thank you for sharing.
I hope you do Charlotte, they are really wonderful x
I love having a spa night & the events sound wonderful as you’re not left on your to figure out how to use the products. That’s great there was no pressure to spend money either!
I worry about feeling pressured but I loved that there was none at all x
I love at-home spa evenings. I’ve been really missing spa days since lockdown as they were one of my favourite ways to relax. But my husband and I have been making an effort to spend more time relaxing and setting the mood in our own home too.
I am actually planning on doing that tonight with my fella. I love that he throws himself in to it as well x x
This sounds like such a lovely idea to unwind. Its also a great way have getting that pamper feeling with friends whilst not being able to go to a spa.
It was so lovely to be with friends, even when we can’t be x
Oh wow! This sounds so lovely and relaxing. I am rubbish at having me time! The treatments sound amazing.
Me too, this really made me embrace that ‘Me time’
A spa night at home sounds fabulous. I love this idea and it would be such a nice treat.
It really does feel like an evening of indulgence x
This sounds lovely and I do like the lack of pressure to buy! Sometimes it puts me off a little. Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
That really worried me, I thought I was going to feel obliged. Now I have tried more of the products and know that they suit my skin, I can’t wait to get my hands on them x
Makes me wanna have a spa day myself.. without rhe kids though😅
Oh you should! You deserve it!
Much needed..thank you😊
I wish we had Temple Spa here. It sure would be nice to have one pampering day. My body needs it so bad!
I think after the last year we all need a good pampering session x x
I love home pamper/spa nights – they’re so important to take a moment to relax especially when feeling stressed. Great post x
Thank you Della. It was such a wonderful idea x
What an indulgent spa night and a lovely giftset to gift someone special as well! Looks like you had a lovely day of relaxation
It was perfect. It would certainly be a lovely gift idea x
Wow……this is so awesome. I love having a spa at home. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Thank you, it was a lovely evening x
What a lovely gift set , you can’t beat a spa pamper session at home , they are my favourite:)
I’m not great at practising self care but this sounds like a fun thing to try out.
Oh this is such a fabulous idea. I’ve seen many at home courses but not a led Spa, I love this idea and Temple Spa are a local company to me. Mich x
oh this sounds very different. I would love to do this with my friends and have a girly night in
What a great idea of a spa night at home to relax and feel pampered. Thank you for sharing this blog post Claire.
This sounds like such a fun experience! I’d absolutely love to do something like this and God knows I need a spa night right now! x
You should get in touch, it’s so much fun x
Oooh this sounds just divine Claire! It should be mandatory to have a home spa night once week. I always forget….. Jx
I love the idea of a spa night at home and I’m especially intrigued by the sugar scrub! I usually find them too harsh and scratchy. Thanks for sharing!
This sounds amazing! I love the idea of having a spa night at home, and that they provided you with such a variety of products to try is great too. Thanks for sharing x
