Have a holistic crystal facial

The Harmony Facial
The Harmony Facial

Let someone take care of you (and your face) for a change. And book in for this dreamy holistic facial. Taking you to new levels of relaxation, they use guided meditation to help you pause external thoughts and the constant drill of your ever-growing to-do list. Your face is given a deep cleanse and exfoliation as you’re cocooned inside a warm blanket. Next follows a carefully planned mix of treatments, including a mask and a massage with warm ceramic Akwaterra pods that boost circulation and brightness. While the skincare works its magic, crystals are laid on and around you, and your mind is calmed with guided breath meditation. It’s pure heaven! Perfect for new mums or anyone that needs a bit of TLC.

Read for YOURSELF

With World Book Day happening this month, it got us thinking that we spend a lot of time reading to our kids but often forget to read to ourselves. It’s essential to care for your mind too. So, this month we’re showcasing more than one read that we think you’ll enjoy.

The Blend by Tobi Asare
The Blend by Tobi Asare

Whether you are thinking about having a baby, pregnant, or already trying to combine a career and children, working motherhood can feel like an impossible balancing act. However, in this book Tobi Asare, founder of My Bump Pay, doesn’t talk about ‘the juggle’ or finding ‘balance’ but instead about The Blend. Covering everything from the financial to the emotional aspects of working motherhood and from preparing for maternity leave to returning with confidence.

Slug by Hollie Mcnish
Slug by Hollie Mcnish

This is most relatable book I’ve read in a long time. Poems, memoirs and short stories make it easy to dip in and out of, so handy for reading in little bursts. I loved it. It made me laugh and made me sad, and so much of what Hollie writes about is true and honest. I hope the things Hollie writes about are better for my daughters’ generation.

Book Lapland Now

Lapland UK
Lapland UK

It’s crazy that you have to book stuff for Christmas now. But we always get to Nov-Dec and everything we want to do is sold out. So apparently we need to be one of those mums too.
Yes, it’s expensive but Lapland UK is a truly unique, magical experience that you won’t forget. Perfect if your little ones are around 4+. Of course smaller ones will also enjoy it but we think it’s better to wait until your children are a little bit older so they really appreciate it and you don’t have to worry about nap times etc…

Try the latest workout

Feel Electric
Feel Electric

Remember those electric pulse pads people used to wear to tone their tummies? This new trend uses the same technology, but people are now working out in it. Sounds like madness? Well, even celebrities like Millie Mackintosh are at it, and if there’s a chance we could look like her after two babies, we’re starting to think we might give it a go. The official name is EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) training. It incorporates a full-body workout with a wireless device that stimulates muscle fibres while you exercise, making muscle tissue work harder and more effectively. Want to give it a go? Feel Electric have multiple locations up and down the country and opening more soon.
