We are in July already and it makes me feel surprised about how half of the year passed by in a jiffy.

June happens to be our Blogiversary month, and this June we celebrated our 5th Blogiversary. I really can't believe how I have survived 5 years of blogging, when I had started this blog just as a platform to share my shopping hauls and never thought it would last this long.

I still remember when I used to click pictures of my new outfits inside my hostel room, my friends used to laugh at my weird Hobby, but well who would have had imagined that The Shopaholic Diaries - a blog I started as a hobby but proved to be my passion - would complete 5 years successfully.

To celebrate the 5th Blogiversary with our friends & fans, we organized a Spa party in collaboration with ELLE Spa & Salon and Crowne Plaza Mayur Vihar, Delhi.


ELLE Spa & Salon is a contemporary luxury brand launched by Sanghvi Brands-ELLE joint venture in India and the Indian Ocean region recently.
The spa promises a relaxing journey with aromatic scents, soft lighting, airy atmosphere & warm décor, rejuvenating the mind, body & soul. I'll cover more about the spa in my next post.





ELLE Spa & Salon is located at Crowne Plaza Mayur Vihar - an excellent 5-star property located right in my neighborhood, which is a one-stop place for one to enjoy awesome multi-cuisine food, a relaxing spa and an outdoor swimming pool - all this in the neighborhood of East Delhi.

A complete review of the property would be done in the next post!


To celebrate our 5 years journey of blogging, many dear friends and regular readers of the blog joined us for a Spa party and Hi-Tea.

L to R : Vinny (my MUA for the day), Shaily (Confessionz of a Closet), Neha (Bestie alert), ME, Tina (Photographer-WIP), Bhawna (By Muse)

L to R : Apurva (Kalapalette), Yours truly, Hansika (Crazy Bestie), Pankhuri (Madamemoiselle4u)

L to R : Rabani (Punk Artist), :P , Anubha (the Creative one), Sakshi (Cutie), Hansika (did I say Crazy already?)

The evening started with all the lovely guests enjoying relaxing foot spa sessions at the luxurious spa area near the hotel pool, while sipping refreshing iced teas.



Post the relaxing spas, we moved to the Hi-tea by the pool organized by the amazing Crowne Plaza team that included refreshing iced teas, cappuccinos, munch-ons, delish pizzas, rolls and more.



Gladly, everyone had a great time at the event and it ended up to be a nice meetup over spas and teas that helped us rejuvenate while catching up together at one platform.

While we were all gearing up to leave, the ELLE Spa & Salon team organized a mini Giveaway for all the guests where each one of us got to win exciting spa vouchers.

Contest Time :D

Hey lovelies!

Hey everyone!
I am back with a Spa review and this time I will sharing my experience at the Amaltas Spa by L'Occitane.

Just as the Camargue is a resting place for migrating birds, AMALTAS SPA BY L’OCCITANE is a sanctuary of tranquility rejuvenating the body and soul!

Hey lovely readers!
It's almost mid-week and I am badly awaiting this weekend as I plan to rejuvenate with a facial treatment and some shopping.
And when it comes to rejuvenation and relaxation, one brand which I have discovered and loved lately is Alaya Spa & Salon located at DLF Place, Saket, Delhi.

I was introduced to this amazing spa by a fellow blogger and friend Awungshi who has reviewed this spa on her blog earlier. So, I went to visit this spa and salon a few months back for a Hair Spa and haircut which were really good. But that time I totally missed on writing about my spa experience, so last weekend when I got a chance to visit the spa again for a Hair Spa and Haircut, I made sure I carried my camera along to click few pictures to show you all.

"ALAYA, also known as the eighth consciousness, or the final state of the mind before it attains nirvana.

Alaya Spa + Salon is an oasis away from the staleness of life which promises a similar experience in your quest for inner peace and well-being. A visit to Alaya is truly a retreat that will relax your mind, revive your body and rejuvenate your soul. "
And it truly stands true to its name, as my whole experience at the spa - right from entering the spa and towards the end helped me rejuvenate and relax my mind to the fullest.

Alaya Spa & Salon

The staff of the spa is really warm and welcoming and they are eager to take you through the services offered and even show you around the whole property. After informing them that I would like to go through the Supercharge Moroccan Oil Hair Treatment, I was directed towards the salon on the Ground Floor where instantly one of the Hair Spa Specialists was appointed to do my hair spa.

Hi lovely readers!
Hope you all are doing well and geared up for this weekend. While I don't have any specific plans for this weekend, but I do plan on doing few outfit shoots with a friend because it's been a while since I posted an outfit on the blog.
In today's post I will be sharing my spa experience with one of the popular spa parlous in Delhi - The Four Fountains Spa, located at South Ex-2 market.

I was invited over by the spa management to visit and experience one of their therapies a couple of weeks back. As I was anyway planning to go for a body spa with a friend, I decided to try The Four Fountains Spa this time and was completely looking forward to this experience.
Located in the busy market of South Ex 2, the spa is easy to locate due to its central location and various signboards placed near the spa. We were welcomed by smiling staff and were taken through the various therapies offered by the spa.
