Oh, why dont I do this more often??? I am that person that are sooo bad at stressing down and taking care of my body and that´s something I have decided to change now...
My spa-treatment was in a nice place called Njuta. The treatment I got today is called "sun" and started with a foot bath and a nice cup of tea in a relaxing room with floating waterfall, calming music and soft lights.
Then after 15 minutes a nice girl called Emma came and picked me up and took me to a treatment room where I lied down and first got a scrub all over my body. Then I took a shower before getting a clay mask with sea salt etc in it all over. Got tucked into plastic and a heating cover and laid to rest for some time. I was so warm and cosy that I fell asleep for some time;=)
Then a shower again before she massaged my back and body with a body lotion. She made a muscualar massage which I really need for the back.
We talked about stress and living a hectic lifestyle and she said she uses a bed of nails which she recommended for my ache and sleeping problems, so I bought one;=)
I also booked a new appointment for next week with a facial treatment and muscular massage. My new life has started... and it will be more relaxed, less stressful and taking care of this body;=)
Now, gym time...

Oh that's so great Anette!
ReplyDeleteIt's important to relax and think about caring of ourselves! :D
Oooo that sounds so relaxing! I always end up nearly falling asleep when I get a facial bc the people are just so good at massaging!
ReplyDeleteGlad you're having a nice morning, have a lovely weekend. I've got an audition this afternoon for a national singing contest and I'm so incredibly nervous but listening to Meadows of Heaven is calming me down! Thank you!

Good morning Anette!
ReplyDeleteHope You had a good night and slept well!
Happy to hear that You had such a great time in spa! you surely needed it. Gods, it sounds so niiiiiiice when you talk about Your spa experience. I live in a small town so we don't have spa salons here which is a shame. I'd so love to go to such a place myself and just feel like a queen for an hour or so ;)))
Have a lovely Saturday!
Love,
Karo E.
Sounds like you had a great time, Anette!

Ann

ReplyDeleteI'm soo jealous Anette.
ReplyDeleteCould do with a relaxing spa day as other half believes being 36 weeks pregnant isn't stressful and tired.
Anyone want to loan him to give me some peace?
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Take care
Carol x
This is soo nice :)
ReplyDeleteWho doesnt like a massage?! I'm glad that you are more relaxed and included this relaxing thing in your life.
Have a great day!
Fábio
I'm glad you had a nice relaxed day,
ReplyDeleteyou need it! But I however
will be out and about because both my
little brothers have the soccer parade today
and both have a game.
So I'll be out at that and I need
to decide which of the puppies to bring
with me :) But have a good time at the gym!
And if it's not too much,
do you think you could answer me with
some advice about the whole
cancer thing...I honestly don't know...
Hugs and love, Katie T.
Hello dear Nettie,
ReplyDeleteSeems like you had a very calming treatment. :)
I hope you'll have a lot of time for yourself in the upcoming time.^^
Take care,
Dimitris
Hi Annette,
ReplyDeleteSpas are great, no doubt!
I read that you like to take a bath before a gig. You might not know that 2 cups of Epsom Salts (magnesium Sulfate = relaxation mineral) + ½ cup of baking Soda (Sodium Bicarbonate = alkalinizer) +10 drops of organic Lavender oil in a full hot bath (soak 20 mn) enhances relaxation/detoxification.
Also for your info, the "Journal of Allergy and clinical Immunology" (04.09) mentions that Folic acid lessens Allergy and Asthma symptoms.
Take 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (!) (5-MTHF), much better absorbed than ordinary folic acid.
Hope it may be of help!
From a Nightwish fan who enjoys reading your blog and finds it refreshing, honest (even candid at times) and so far away from the Star System...
A bed of nails you say? How does that work exactly, its not like a literal bed of nails is it that you lie on like those stunt people do? =O
ReplyDeleteYour description of that spa treatement made me so jealous, i think it actually relaxed me a bit just imagining it xD
xx
That sounds like a very pleasant experience. What a wonderful workout you will have without having to worry about back pain! I hope that this relaxation treatment will keep you calm and pain free for a good long time! =)
ReplyDeleteWow, this is a incredible day. You are a lucky girl. 've Heard of some reports in Brazil that one of the things that relax the more women it's go to the SPA. Speaking of SPA, when you came to Brazil, you gave an interview with Marco and Tuomas and the interviewer Maria Candida said it would you recommend the SPA. That was it recommended? This quiet life you said you will get now will only make you well. When you have a chance, tell us more about this bed of nails. It is a literal bed of nails or is it just a name given to some equipment of aesthetics?
ReplyDeleteHave a good day my favorite Swedish singer.
Peace =)
Sounds lovely, Anette. I'm so glad you enjoyed your relaxing time at the spa today. Yes, it's very important to take care of our body - it's the only one we have after all.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you've taken some time out for you to relax and unwind. You definitely need it at times, especially with how hectic your life can get. I hope you can have a few more spa days to help you relax and keep your body in tip top condition. Can't wait for the next questions round <3 I'd be awesome if you could keep it open for a little longer for us people who live in Australia xP *hugs and kisses*
ReplyDelete<3 Nolla
Bed of NAILS???
ReplyDeleteWouldn't that hurt?
That's so great!
ReplyDeleteSo what else do you have planned for your new "calm" life?
that good and that well tthat you take care of your body. It´s very important to do it. To rest and to relax and the best thing of the world, so you don´t have to let it do...I like read you blog because you are a excellent person, very humble and sensible person. Thank you so much for share your thoughts with us...
ReplyDeleteSorry for my english...jajaj
hugs!!
Hello!
ReplyDeleteWow! I've never been in a spa before, but with what you say I think is a nice experience.
It's good to take care of the body, stress can be really bad.
It's good to see you're taking care of yourself entirely =)
Take care!!
Don't go to a spa, just come to Rio de Janeiro, and the sunny 'hot as hell' days here will make you feel and become a sausage. hahahahaha
ReplyDeleteRemember if you come to Rio you don't have to spend any time in a hotel, you ave a home here(I mean my house)m and at this moment gf is reading this and will eat my kdney as soon as i end this post. hahahahaha
you did'nt read the post I made specially for you, and I'll steal your kidney and put it for rent in a black market in Paraguai... Ok, I'm kidding.
How about a concert together with Tarja, Simmone, Sharon, Andre Matos and Scabbia? It would be wonderful!
Regards from deep inside Brasil! (Actually you should spend a time in Rio, I'm pretty sure you'd enjoy it so much, there's a Finish colony here - I know you're from sweeden)
That's so great!
ReplyDeleteSo what else do you have planned for your new "calm" life?
-'Lena
relaxation is great, Nettie. Very solvent by the stress... and soothing ;=)
ReplyDeleteGood for you. Busy moms really need time like this, but like you, often have a hard time finding it. We can only take care of others when we first take care of ourselves. Society doesn't like to promote such a notion, but it's absolutely true. Go you!
ReplyDeleteOh... now I'm jealous ;)
ReplyDeleteBut what exactly is a bed of nails? Doesn't sound too comfortable ;)
My best friend just told me that he got tickets for the Nightwish concert in Helsinki in september... I'd die to be there, too...
Do you think he'll have the chance to get me an autograph?
I hope your day has been as relaxed as it started ;)
Love
Ahhh...that sounds really nice right now! lol.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed it :)
<3 Lauren
I can´t believe that (maybe almost) no-one commented yet :D Anyway this is surely not the reason to write. =) It´s good you had a chance to relax... and I wish you to have better sleeping etc.... just to hold on, because you deserve some rest. ;)
ReplyDeleteI´ll use this comment to thank you for the effort to sing Kuolema... and for you extremely well nailed Meadows of Heaven, it was really pleasant to hear your beautiful pure voice above it all!
Finally - you can tell Tuomas that I was really happy, because his dream of a show with live orchestra fulfilled. I was pleased too... and I have to say it was done amazingly.
Hold on you both and just whole the band!! =)
Hi
ReplyDeleteSorry for bad english Anette but this is because online translaitor hehe...
When you return to Brazil for more concerts
specifically Curitiba where we like very much to you...
Kisses
That sounds relaxing. we don't have anything like that here (I'm in a town with the population of a couple hundered)
ReplyDeleteHi there :)
ReplyDeleteSpa time is one of the best time ever ;), i never did such a thing but in september i will go for sure! it's sooooo good to take care of our body and so on... and spa place are so beautifull!
Wish you had a very good time and i guess you had ^^
Have a nice evening! take care <3
Hello Anette, =)
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that you can relax and remove all the problems and stress away from us!
I wish I could be in place, my body looks more like a rock than anything, now that is ending the year and is approaching the time to make the entrance so I try to enter a college, things are heavier for me than normal, but I'm taking ...
Hope you're relaxed and well, have a good night and a good weekend!
Big hugs and kisses
Eduarda
That's great, Anette!
ReplyDeleteWomen need to take good care of their body, because we usually are so much more stressed and worn out than men! :D So of course we always enjoy being pampered and taken care of.
I'm glad the spa treatment felt good, and hope the bed of nails you bought will really help you solve the back problems etc.
Have a great day!
omg i lovee spaas ... i havent gone in a long time too :B i wish i could do that more often but i dont have too much spare time :S well i hope you relax alot in your new life :D
ReplyDeleteHi Nettie, I feel so happy that now you are so relaxed. Talk to you soon!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Miriam xxx
Ohh, so lucky! I want a spa day, too =P
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear that you had such a relaxing and nice day =) we all should have time to take care of our body once in a while, it's really a good thing ;)
ReplyDeleteI just hope you won't turn into a gym addicted, like madonna is now :x (or at least that's what ppl are saying, we never know :P)
anyway, now it's gym time for me :)
xxxx
It's good that the spa session was confortable!And yes you should do it more often if that makes you feel better ;)
ReplyDeleteLots Of Love,
Cristina
You bought a bed of nails?! I'm not sure if I understood you correctly but doesn't it mean like a bed but instead of soft blanket and pillow it has nails on it? How's that gonna help your sleeping problems =D But I of course I hope it will help =)
ReplyDeleteThat spa sounds just wonderful. Massage, relaxing room, tea... Me likes =)
Hello Ane!!!

What do you like to do? walking, read, play any sports?

Kisses and hugs from brazil

Glad that you are de-stressed... unfortunantly for me, i was greeted with the news that my satillite cable was mowed over and spent 10 minutes on the phone getting a service call set up. Looks like i'll be missing 2 different shows i've enjoyed :(
ReplyDeleteOh well, guess i can get more aquanted with my Wii and DVD player
Hugs,
Falyssa
It seems like you're getting troubles with comments and with people demanding answers from you. Don't take me too hard in my previous comment, I just wnat you to read that, if you can't or don't have any time to do it. No problem, the most important is to have fun with fans!
ReplyDeleteLots of hugs!
Sounds Amazing!!
ReplyDeleteI wanna gooooo!! lol
Sounds really nice and relaxing , and well deserved :)
Amy
Dear Anette,
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to hear that you've had a good time at the spa ...............and that during your calm life you will have the time to do all those nice treatments for your body and soul!!!
They will just make you even more wonderful than you are already!!!
Good night! Sweet dreams!
Have a nice sunny sunday!!!
Love,
Herta
Hi Anette! :D
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I write you a comment... I have been following your posts almost every day and it's very funny and great to know what are the thoughts of my favourite singer/performer and what she's doing.
First thing I want to tell you is that I'm really sorry for your cat, Kulan. I have a 11-year-old cat, too and I can truly imagine how's that feel when you lost your "little baby". But still, I'm happy for your newcomer, Stjärnan! Hope she lives long and well!
And it is very nice to know that you feel great after all this stressful and hectic period! I can even feel the new energy you have now. Enjoying, relaxing and stressless day's are acceptable sometimes, aren't they? ;=) And "why don't I do this more often?" is a good question! I'm asking that too.
It was really great to read your post this time! And now influenced by you I'll go straight to the gym and after that just relax under the sun with good music (of Nightwish :)) and try to have more positive attitude towards life!
Best wishes,
Jube
P.S. See you in Hartwall Arena in september! :)
A very nice place to stay... call me next time. =P
ReplyDeleteHei, would you pay a treatment to me? After, of course, paying a travel to sweeden too! Maybe someday I may pay a travel to Brasil to you in return! hahahahahaha
ReplyDeleteYou're beaultifull, I forgot to mention that!
Oh that sounds soooo awesome....What a nice treat for you! You deserve it big time!!!
ReplyDeleteI just worked an art show, standing on my feet for 7 hours in 80 degrees and then we got drenched with rain...Reading what you did at the spa sounds relaxing and perfect!!
You are so right to take care of your body...It's so important to get rid of the stress! We always neglect ourselves...and we shouldn't!!
You go girl!!
How are the kitties doing? Hope they are getting along!
Take care!!
(((HUGS)))
Christine
i'm happy for you..my life is full of stress..and i'm only 18!! so i think that this is not so nice.. :/
ReplyDeletepeople needs to find lots of ways to relief stress..! for a better life.. ;=)
I agree about taking care of your body, Anette. It is so easy to get caught up in the stress of everyday life, and to get "disconnected" from our bodies even though they are with us all the time. To slow down and pay conscious attention to one's body is difficult, in this world. So good for you, that you've taken a step to improve things for yourself. :-)
ReplyDeleteA bed of nails? Wouldn't that hurt? o-o Anyway, glad you had a good time. =]
ReplyDeleteWow, Anette!
ReplyDeleteIt seems that your day was sooo nice that I wish I could do something similar hehe :)
It feels so good when we can take care of ourselves. It's a pity that sometimes we forget it because we live in a hurry...
Have a nice day and enjoy your "new" life :D
Kisses from Brazil
Camila
Hello Anette,
ReplyDeletewow spaa =D You deserve it!
Take care of this budy, its beautiful=D
Hugs
Aw, I should do that, too! I'm SO bad at relaxing, I stress way too much! >_<
ReplyDeleteAnd a really smart name on the place, too! =) And you really did enjoy it, so.. =)
Have a wonderful day!
Good Morning Anette,
ReplyDeleteyes a very valid questions; "Why don't you do this more often?" =) Because you realy should, seeing how well and relaxed you felt afterwards.
But a bed of nails?! I hope this was more metaphorically speaking, right, you are not ACTUALLY sleeping on a bed of nails? Is it more like a special cushion or something?
Either way, good for you that you did all this and for starting your new life, I hope your blog still has some space in your new life, too =)
Have a lovely sunny sunday,
Katrin
Happy new life Anette,
ReplyDeleteyou really deserve to be a happy and relaxed person. Well i guess you belong to that group of people who needs to learn again to do nothing. Good luck for this.
And have fun with your bed of nails. ;)
Hi Anette !
ReplyDeleteI want to tell you " you sing very good kuolema tekee taiteilijan ! " Ouaw !
I'm happy for your "new life" =)
Have a nice day!
I Love You Netti !
Manon, a french fan =)
It seems your day was really nice =).
