SANGITA KATHIWADA, PROPRIETOR OF MÉLANGE
Sheer indulgence To sink into her private indoor pool in complete darkness! “It’s paramount when it comes to self-pampering. Aromatherapy candles and Zen music complete the experience. Simply blissful.”
Comfort clothing She finds soft apparels a must-have for lounging at home. Sangita cannot do without the 400 count butter khadi clothes that she designs for the store.
Unwinding rites Sufi whirling for 40 minutes and then sitting in silence.
Soft notes Music from the world of Osho; reviving and refreshing.
Magic potions The organic oils from Revive, Cowshed and Eminence. “For my hair there is nothing better than Aveda. Besides the superior quality of the product, its fragrance transports you into another zone altogether.”
Hot spas and dream massages Enchantment in Sedona, USA is the “best spa in the world” and Four Seasons in Ubud, Indonesia gets the close second position. A Thai massage is her way to pampering heaven.
Splurge trail “My biggest investment on myself will be my very own personal spa at home with a kilim clad massage room, pink marble steam chamber and a 10x10 indoor swimming pool.”

ADITI GOVITRIKAR, MODEL
Sheer indulgence “A heavenly deep tissue massage. It’s calming and revitalising at the same time. I treat myself to massages at least twice a month if not more. I deserve that because of my hectic schedules.”
Comfort clothing When it comes to hanging around at home, the hot mommy prefers anything that is soft and silky.
Unwinding rites Catching up with friends over a movie or dinner or listening to music.
Soft notes Instrumental music which she finds “enlivening and soothing”.
Magic potions La Prairie Cellular Night Cream. Vichy Sunscreen and a luxurious facemask at Kaya Skin Clinic.
Hot spas and dream massages Quan Spa at JW Marriott, Mumbai. For Aditi, ambience plays an important part in her chilling down process; so she loves the Thai Massage Centre at Bangkok because the reception area itself had a “calming effect” on her.
Splurge trail “On a recent holiday to Kerala, I gifted myself daily massages at the Taj through the seven-day trip.”
