Wellbeing Wednesday: Mountain Bath Oil
This is pretty special stuff. It’s full of essential oils, and smells really intoxicating. Hay flower and eucalyptus give an energising zazz, and a little of it goes a long way. Other bonus points include how good it looks, a definite ‘leave out on display’ product; and the packaging is really well thought out, it’s easy and neat […]
Something for the weekend: Dorchester Spa
September 25, 2010
Breathe Easy Aromatherapy The winter months play havoc with my chest and sinuses, and as we’re coming into Autumn I already feel the sniffly, bunged head onset of a cold. So an aromatherapy ‘breathe easy’ treatment seemed just the thing to sort me out. And it was. It’s a mainly face down massage, focusing on […]

December 12, 2009
Hydrodermabrasion Facial I’m going jump right in here and say that I definitely recommend the hydrodermabrasion process exclusively at hydrohealing spa in Notting Hill (actually Ladbroke Grove to be specific). It’s basically bad ass exfoliation. The therapist uses small droplets of water and oxygen, released at high pressure from a wand/pen thing to remove dead and […]
Product: Legtone Serum
September 17, 2009
Adonia This amazing stuff, launched to great fanfare in May this year, claims to reduce cellulite, and make your bum and thighs look firmer in just nine minutes. It was easy to rub in, smelt great – and to some extent it worked. There was definitely a firmness to the wobbly bits that hadn’t been […]
Neville Hair & Beauty, SW1X
September 17, 2009
De-Mistyfying Treatment When someone told me about a treatment which would turn my dry barnet into a silky mane, I knew I HAD to try it. I’ve been blessed with not bad hair, it’s got a lovely natural curl to it, and even self-highlights in the sun; but the payback is that it’s big and […]
