    Experience: Nourish Facial at Beauty Works West

    Beauty Works West in Notting Hill has become my little slice of paradise in London. The staff are warm, friendly, knowledgeable and some of the best massage and facial therapists I’ve come across in my time. I was therefore more than thrilled to be invited back to Beauty Works West to experience one of the Medi Spa’s latest offerings – the Nourish Facial. This intensely hydrating, swoon-worthy facial uses Black Chicken Remedies products – a luxury organic Australian brand quickly making a name for itself due to its gentle, effective products that virtually send you off to a higher plane when you use them. They’re that good. Black Chicken Remedies…

    ‘All Fired Up’ MAC Retro Matte Lipstick Review

    I’ve read more MAC All Fired Up lipstick reviews than I can poke a stick at, but there’s always room for one more, right? Matte MAC lipsticks have kind of ruined me for life. The intensity, the pigment, the hardcore staying power – they just deliver on all fronts and it’s little wonder that they are such a firm favourite among so many lipstick junkies. All Fired Up is my first lipstick from the Retro Matte collection and also my first fuchsia-tinted shade. I tried out a few different fuchsia shades at the MAC store at Kensington High St and decided that All Fired Up was most complementary to my…

    Experience: Acupuncture at Anamaya & New Meditation App

    I visited Anamaya last year for Facial Reflexology and was so excited to be invited back to experience some Acupuncture with Dr Cheng. As I’ve mentioned before, Anamaya is a sanctuary of relaxation and healing, located just off bustling Kensington High Street. Once you’re off the street and through the doors, you’re met with a serene, blissful atmosphere and the aroma-therapeutic scents of Neom candles. Anamaya offer a carefully edited selection of practitioners who specialise in Homeopathy, Massage, Craniosacral therapy, Osteopathy, Dietetics, Energy Healing, Pilates, Psychotherapy, Mind, Body and Spirit therapies and of course Acupuncture. Now, I’d had Acupuncture before in an effort to relieve my fear of flying before…

    Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask Review

    Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask  I’ve read so many great reviews about the Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask that I’m almost ashamed it’s taken me this long to try it myself! The concept in itself seems both genius and bizarre – genius in that sleeping is a perfect time to feed your skin with a massive dose of hydration and bizarre in that there is every chance you’ll wake up with a creamy mess in your hair and all over your pillow. Or so I thought. This night time mask doesn’t exactly work like that. You don’t smother your face in a thick layer and then fall asleep…
