Treatment to try: Ayurvedic Body MassageWednesday, February 29th, 2012
Ayurveda isn’t just a treatment to relax you; it’s a, holistic way of life. I was invited to experience this for myself at Ayurvedic Pura in London, a relaxing space which includes a spa, cafe and shop. Unlike other massages, the Ayurveda Massage is more focused on stimulating the immune system and strengthening the nervous system than relaxing you in the traditional sense – that’s not to say I wasn’t relaxed, but instead of feeling sleepy and lethargic, I felt balanced and re-energised. I was massaged by ‘long strokes’ rather than pummelling and kneading using warm oil, but it definitely had the same effect on my tension spots which were far less tense afterwards. My skin and body felt great the next day, a sense of being ‘detoxed’ sprang to mind. One of my favourite things about this treatment were the therapists; before the massage even began, I was given a ‘lifestyle consultation’ to help tailor my treatment to my needs and problem areas whilst my massage therapist was knowledgeable and explained the whole ethos of Ayurveda; for me, this is a great alternative to a traditional massage and I’m pretty sure that with regular appointments, you’d see even more results.

Beauty news: Katie Holmes new ‘doMonday, February 27th, 2012
The Vanity Fair post-Oscar bash proved to be a winner for Katie Holmes, who showcased a new sleek and more sophisticated ‘do, proving that ponytails can look polished. What do you think of her new look? Inside The Red Carpet Collection Box – Dr Bragi Intensive Treatment MaskMonday, February 27th, 2012
Described as a “pre-party rejuvenating boost”, I wasn’t expecting too much from the Dr Bragi Intensive Treatment Mask. After all, how great could an at-home product be? Dubbed as a way to bring the Dr Bragi treatment into your home, I thought I’d give it a whirl one evening to see if its promises of plumper, smoother, brighter skin came true. The white cotton-esque mask is a little unnerving if you catch yourself in the mirror (remember the posters from that Antonio Banderas film The Skin I Live In? It’s something along those lines…) but it felt deliciously cooling to the skin. Designed to be left on for 15 minutes, one thing I loved about this treatment was the no fuss or mess element – as much as clay or peel off masks are fun, taking them off isn’t always so enjoyable, especially when you find clumps of it in your hairline a few hours later. And it is now that I should apologise for my lack of faith in the mask. Honestly, after the alloted 15 minutes my skin looked freaking awesome. It had an airbrushed look to it, all soft and dewy (no mean feat with pores the size of mine) and felt velvety to the touch. I hold my hands up – this is one of the best at-home masks I have ever tried and I hate to say it, but it made my skin look just as, if not better, than it did after a facial. This is definitely my new go-to for a big event or night out as it gives your skin that extra polish that it needs. * The Dr Bragi Intensive Treatment Mask can also be purchased via our Luxury Sample shop; click here for details. To the test: Deep Cleansing Facial ScrubsFriday, February 24th, 2012
Burt’s Bees Citrus Facial Scrub, £10.99, 55g No7 Total Renewal Micro-Dermabrasion Exfoliator, £11, 75ml Beauty news: Oscar inspired nail varnishFriday, February 24th, 2012
The leading lady shades include Glenn (Close), a berry red shimmer; Viola (Davis), a deep purple; Elizabeth (Olsen), a midnight blue; and Rachel (Weisz), a gold copper tone plus one very special shade named after the Oscar award itself in gold glitter, of course. So even though the main honour can only go to one of these deserving ladies, having a nail varnish named after you isn’t such a bad consolation prize! Although not stocked in the UK, we think it’s a mega cool idea. I may not be up for an Oscar (this year), but the ‘Carla’ polish would be a glossy, grey-pink putty tone – what would yours be? http://www.beautyhigh.com/body/nail-care/19188/julep-releases-oscar-inspired-polishes WIN!
