On Wednesday I was treated to a facial, fit for royalty at the beautiful Brigit Filmer Spa right here in Durban. It’s a hidden gem that I can’t believe I didn’t know about. I mean, it’s literally 5k’s from “my area”, up in the gorgeous hills of the Upper Highway Area in Durban. Located in Gillits, this tranquil spa is the perfect place to relax and benefit from one of their many luxurious treatments for both men and women. This is my kinda spa! It’s a pamper palace that will most definitely become a regular hang out for me.
