The Luxury Insider: AIRE Ancient Baths London Review
This subterranean spa is one of London's most luxurious wellness spots.
It’s Monday morning and I’m floating in a warm salt bath surrounded by flickering candlelight and tall rustic archways under London’s ancient streets. I really am in heaven! Next, it’s time for a hot stream and some cold therapy in the plunge pool, set to 10C, before a full body massage and glass of fizz. I’ve had worse Monday mornings.
Luxury spas are my ultimate indulgence, there is nothing better...

STIL SALON is the Chelsea-based salon you want to find yourself in for some much-needed R&R when you are in need of a lighter look post-Winter.

This Years Skincare Trends with Dr. Mihaela Clinic
30th April 2024
Once, a little wrinkle relaxer or filler was something to hide, involving sneaking furtively into an anonymous clinic and emerging in dark glasses. But as the demand for facial rejuvenation has skyrocketed, such stigma has faded and a more luxurious experience is desired.

Wildsmith Skin: From Heckfield Place To Liberty London
24th April 2024
I’m the first to admit, it doesn’t take much convincing to get me to Liberty London. I can regularly be found perusing the beauty hall after a day in the office, spritzing new fragrances, discovering new indie luxe skincare labels, convincing myself that, yes, £40 is a perfectly reasonable price to pay for silk hair bands, before sweeping out the store with my new purchase in the ubiquitous purple bag. Now there is another draw to the iconic department store, as Wildsmith Skin – the high-performance botanics-focused skincare label behind The Bothy at Heckfield Place — has taken up residency at Liberty London.

Unpacking The K-Beauty Obsession
3rd April 2024
Despite its big splash and quickly established fanbase, it remained misunderstood for quite some time. Appearing overwhelming to the uninitiated, its alleged 10 step routine and countless lotions and potions was a slight deterrent for people who valued simplicity. However, what many didn’t realise, was that at its core, K-Beauty was all about simplicity.

Five Steps to Glowy Spring Skin with The Skin Culturist
19th April 2023
Although April showers are still among us, we can only hope that the sun will begin to shine soon… but how can we begin to prep our skin for when the first signs of spring begin to emerge? I visited The Skin Culturist, a gorgeous boutique clinic tucked away in a scenic side road in Maida Vale. The classic coastal interior aesthetic made me feel right at home, and ready to prepare my skin for spring. The cold and harsh winter we had meant I was constantly layering on moisturisers and serums, exposing my skin to artificial heat and lacking exposure to Vitamin D. A build-up of dead skin cells led to a dull and dehydrated complexion that was often congested, causing breakouts and other skin issues, so how did we tackle this? My consultation began with Dr Kam, a fantastic and informative dentist and master of facial aesthetics and skin health. Together, we identified my current skin issues using The Skin Culturist’s state of the art technology, and set out a plan of how I was going to get the very best skin.
Review of Award winning osteopath and A-lister Osteo Allies
28th April 2022
Osteo Allies was founded by sisters Reena and Anisha Joshi and has three clinics in Marylebone, Surrey, and Hertfordshire. An integral part of their mission is to introduce osteopathy to a new generation of clients to give more people the opportunity to embrace the practice in their daily lives. Preventative care, injury rehabilitation, and dealing with chronic pain management are just some of the reasons loyal clients and A-listers flock to the Osteo Allies clinics. I visited their Marylebone outpost earlier this year to meet with osteopath Michael Burrows. The waiting area’s teal, pink, and gold colour scheme is the first sign of the modern qualities the brand is embracing and the younger audience they are targeting. Before my treatment, I answered a questionnaire that gave the team an idea of my needs, health history, and any questions or concerns I wanted to address.

14th April 2022
You started your career in finance, to training and launching a pioneering brand in Pilates, yoga and barre. What inspired you to launch VITA? Before I launched VITA I never felt as though I found a place that achieved everything I wanted in my ideal fitness experience. I was inspired to create a space that encapsulated all the aspects that made me feel motivated to exercise and happy to be at the studio. That space became VITA. How would you describe VITA? VITA is a fitness boutique that offers a variety of Pilates, barre, and yoga classes as well as wellness treatments in Sloane Square.

Review of The Sybarite Maldives Edition - ESPA spa at JOALI Resort...
21st April 2021
Besides its tailor made treatments, it’s the environment at which the spa has been built upon. Stepping into this wellness sanctuary, you get an immediate sense of calm and an immediate ability to set your mind at a lower pace. As you enter the circular shaped reception area, it’s that wide open space and nude tones that envelope you into another place, another time. After all that scorching island sun and the plentiful of culinary delights that whet your appetite at JOALI, it’s bliss to have ESPA as a cool and calm oasis to let go in and get lost in.

Featuring Careys Manor & SenSpa | New Forest
27th April 2018
As a destination I hold close to my heart, returning to the New Forest often feels like coming home. I have many childhood memories of summer holidays spent cycling the forests, feasting on picnics and camping with friends. With the prospect of a weekend of sunshine ahead, I took the opportunity to escape to the New Forest; boyfriend in-tow, to it’s blossoming heath-land, wild ponies, cosy pubs and an oasis of relaxation at Careys Manor & Senspa. Making a swift exit out of the City, miraculously missing any Friday night traffic, we were greeted by the setting sun as we travelled up a meandering gravel drive towards Careys Manor. I can only describe the view of Careys Manor as something out of a quintessential English novel. Immaculate lawns, trimmed hedges, tudor chimneys and air of history. Nestled under the bows of the trees is an outdoor bar and comfortable sofa setting, the perfect place to start your weekend with a glass of Provencal as the sun begins dip behind the trees.
