Question for the ladies of IM :D

Brighid · Oct 13th, 2008, 10:58

Hi ladies
Only just over 2 weeks in India, but on the road... you know how it is, so I was thinking of pampering my travel weary self while in jaisalmer, with a massage or a pedicure. Any recommendations?
The one recommended by the LP is in the fort, but anything outside would be preferable.
Thanks a bunch

Along with most heterosexual men, I guess I've been researching this one since age about 12 --- but I regret to say that I don't have any codified findings that would be useful to you. Tamil girls tend to be slim; Kerala girls a little more rounded. Further north, average proportions tend to more, err... generous.

So far as the feet is concerned, it is certainly possible to get simple sandals made for you. I don't know about shoes. Oddly, although I will happily accompany my wife and lady-friends to any dress or sari shop (in fact my poor wife gets dragged around them) --- I hate shopping for shoes, even my own.

he antiperspirant (hey! finally figured out how to spell it!) is nice and cool when it goes on too.

For what it's worth, could I suggest that you pass on the Nivea & other commercial brands ?

Most of these products contain aluminium and it's known to be a toxic substance (I don't even have aluminium cookware at home).

The ones that stop you sweating are going against nature - when it's hot, sweat it out.

Brighid - I have had a very good foot massage,scrubbing and pedicure at the Moomal Beauty Parlour - she is not expensive either. You will find this place in the main market - the street that winds its way between Gopa Chowk near the Fort and Gandhi Chowk. There is a sign near where she is, more towards the Gandhi Chowk area, and if you are heading away from the Fort she is on the right just set back a little in a small square off the main street. She also does body massages, hair cutting etc.

Wonderful Aishah, thanks. Yes, I have seen the sign and am glad to hear it is recommended.
You are a mine of information on Jaisalmer
