I must spend half of my life in the bath. Maybe I was a mermaid in my previous life. Truth is, I find it really difficult to switch off after a long day if I haven’t soaked in hot water, especially if I’ve been arched over my desk for hours working. Saying this, it’s not often I get to write product reviews. Mainly because I’m not a beauty blogger, but also because I have to be really careful what I apply to my skin. Originally when this blog idea first came to me, I wanted to write about the best relaxation and soothing bath products. But since then, I’ve managed to source…

Park Regis: How A Spa Day Can Banish The Blues
Imagine this. Your bestie arrives at your house for the weekend. What do you decide to do? Sit around, drink wine, eat food and go for afternoon tea and a spa day… obviously!

Clarins Skin Spa and Tri Active Treatment
Being treated to a massage, skin detox or a face treatment is one of the best things about being a woman, am I right? Everyone needs that ‘down time’ now and again and anyone who knows me will know I completely thrive on being pampered. I was recently given the opportunity to be one of the first visitors to the Clarins Spa, at John Lewis Birmingham, so of course I was interested to see what my treatment would entail. A few weeks prior to my visit, I received an email from the Spa manager ensuring me I would be given the best possible treatment for my skin type and ultimately, would…
