Tried & Tested: The Cure

September 6, 2015 by Sheila | A B & Me Leave a Comment

 Last Thursday, I got to try one of Dubai’s leading wellness and beauty lounge – The Cure. What a way to start the weekend, right?

The Cure is located at Dubai Media City (Building 10, BBC World – ground floor). My appointment was at 4 and I arrived 10 minutes late because parking is not easy to find in this area — so be early. 

They were playing FRIENDS at the reception area … that’s + 100 points in my book! I like them already… 😀

5 MOST REQUESTED TREATMENTS FROM THE CURE
  1. Spanish Facial Massage 
  2. Guaza ‘Buffalo Horn’ Facial Massage 
  3. Honey Anti-Cellulite Massage 
  4. Nimue Mesotherapy 
  5. Semi-permanent Eyelashes 
I requested for the Honey Anti-Cellulite Massage because 1 – I love massages! and 2 – I have cellulite. LOL! However, the therapist who was specialized to do the treatment had to go to the hospital for an emergency. They offered a Swedish Massage instead. I’m more than happy to oblige.

And since I try to limit my “me time” away from home (ie, salon visits), I asked if I could have my nails and eyebrow threading done as well.

Look at this wall of nail polishes!! 

Alas! They are fully booked. So tip #2, book your treatments in advance!

Flor (my therapist) took me to the treatment room. She gave the usual instructions and then left me to have some privacy. After a while, she came back and worked her magic on me. The massage was heavenly.  Tip #3, ask for Flor!!

After the massage, she told me that my shoulders and neck are tensed. This is due to stress, she said. I told her that this is really my problem area. She then shyly told me that I actually fell asleep during the massage. HAHA! It was that good!

She helped me wipe off the oil from my body with a warm towel, which was quite a treat. She also prepared some green tea with mint for me which was waiting at the reception area. I sipped my tea and lingered for a few minutes, observing how they treat other guests who just came in. 

I enjoyed my massage immensely. However, the drive back to Al Nahda … not so much! I would visit regularly if I lived near the area. But since I’m from the other side of Dubai, visits to The Cure would be for extremely special occasions.

Hey there! I’m a mom of two who loves to crochet. Balancing work and motherhood is crazy, but I handle it with love and humor. With my eldest entering her tween years, the chaos just got a whole lot more interesting!

I’m fueled by coffee and dream of working from home. When I need to chill, I turn to my trusty essential oils. They’re my secret weapon for staying sane in the madness.

Join me for mom life, crochet, and my journey to work from home and retire before life passes me by.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the whole “YOLO I’ve been thinking a lot about the whole “YOLO” mindset. It sounds fun — and sometimes it IS harmless. But when we let it guide our decisions without pause… it can turn into a habit of acting first, thinking later. 

This post is just something I made to process that idea. What if we shifted from the YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE to YOU ONLY DIE ONCE? 

It’s not being a buzzkill. It’s about modeling self-control, delayed gratification, and faith in action—even when it’s not popular. 

What do you think: YOLO or YODO?

Ps. I shared more of the story behind this thought over on @threads if you’re curious (same handle!)

You’re really a hard habit to break.
