CUM LAUDE BAR RETURNS - ROLDAN

Cum Laude Disco bar in Roldan Returns, If you havent been its not really a discotec, more like a bar, where people dance, there is a mix of ages, yes mostly 20´s -30's but 40's 50's and 60's are not out of place and has a great atmosfere

It is very spanish, and opens into the wee hours. When they hold events has a real vibe, the staff often get dressed up and the drinks are very cheap.

If you go onto the main street on roldan and turn down the street next to Cajamurcia onto the other main street where, el arbol supermarket is, keep going and just before a big waste area where you can park.
I will keep adding what events are on here, so keep checking in for updates.

NAILS AND REIKI

What a perfect way to pamper yourself, having someone to come to your home and do your nails? or have a Reiki session.

Well now you can, Karin Patrick is a Mobile Professional Certified Nail Techician and a Certified Osui Reiki Ryoho Practitioner.

Get a few girls together and have a pamper party?

Or have a Reiki session in the comfort of your own home, so afterwards you just don´t have to move.

I can thoroughly reccomend both services Karin provides, as am one of her regulars now. My mother who was embarrassed by her nails, now has hers done everytime she is here with Karin.

And she has now been able to get supplies of the new nail polish Shellac, see below.

And also the New Minx, which look superb and I am having done soon.

So if you fancy pampering yourself, or want to be able to offer your renters something different, then call Karin.

Please note - this is not an advertisement but purely a reccomendation, I will only reccomend services I personally use. I do not receive any financial gain or recompense from reccomending people.
