Shopping and Pampering!
10 April 2013
So as some of my regular readers know, I don’t blog regularly about matters concerning beauty but when I found a place that combined shopping and pampering, how could I not shout from the roof top, this possibly is the coolest most unique salon I’ve been to in a while.
Now the subject of waxing is never a pleasurable one, but a few years ago I discovered a different type of waxing that was actually considerably painless! No I promise I haven’t been smoking weed and I’m being completely serious!!! If you haven’t already discovered it yourself it's called Hot Wax and is an Australian wax that has revolutionised the world of waxing.
Hot wax isn’t the normal wax which yes is hot but is removed with a strip of fabric, this is removed on its own when it cools. This type of wax is considerably less painful and is utterly perfect for those.. erm.. Sensitive areas !!
At The Waxing Suite in Camden, the lovely Alison who owns the company came from the well known Ministry of Waxing and is extremely good at her job – believe me this makes a difference as well. I found the whole experience is amazingly pain free and to top is off the wax smells like chocolate!!! Her room is decorated beautifully with antique mirrors and lighting fixtures. The whole experience is a pleasure and for the more sensitive types you even get a stess-ball to squeeze at those painful moments.
After your treatment you can browse the rails of vintage pieces from military jackets to pretty 1950s dresses and jewellery.
The salon is located opposite the Camden Stable Markets, which is the coolest place for a spot of weekend vintage shopping and chilling out, the stable markets are not be confused with Camden Market, which is some say a little bit more commercial.
The waxing salon is called the Waxing Suite and is inside Dappa Boutique, which you can find here.

My Lil Hair Heaven
16 August 2012
Good hairdressers are a bit like men... when you find a goodie, you hang on to the death!
Me and my new ombre hair!
There are plenty of salons in London, but finding one that suits you can be somewhat of a challenge. I found my salon 'significant other' 5 years ago when I decided to chop all my hair off, ever since then I've been hooked! Gielly Green, just off the fashionable Marylebone High Street is a boutique salon that prides itself on its outstanding customer care.
When you enter through the discrete door of Gielly Green, you get the feeling that you are escaping the city into a sanctuary of relaxation. Flicking through gorgeous books such as Mario Testino or LaChapelle, before you are seated in chairs, which go completely horizontal and level with the sink to have your hair washed. Let relaxation time begin with a 5-10 minute Japanese head massage!
Attracting clients such as the wonderful Twiggy, it's no surprising this place is extremely popular! They have even opened up a Blow Bar in Fenwick - perfectly positioned for me to pop in for a quick blow dry after work, happy days!!!
My friends often ask me where I get my hair done and I always scream Gielly Green from the roof tops like an excited child, oh yes, like I am doing to you now! This place is definitely worth checking out if you are looking for a fantastic London salon, let the luxurious pampering begin!
Here's their website!
Bank Holiday Chill Out Time
7 May 2012
There's nothing more that I love more than chilling out and having a 'Clueless' style veg out on a bank holiday! A few of my girlie friends and I attacked our nail varnish collections and me posed with instagram at the ready went nail crazy! I am not a massive fan of highly patterned or crazy nails but the queens of nails; Sandra and Milda are amazing always looking to the highest of beauty standards.
Although the idea of one nail painted subtly different to the other is an old one, it sure is a cool one! I am thoroughly addicted as it's exactly the right amount of crazy for me and super easy to achieve!

Smashbox Review
29 March 2012
As my regular followers will know i'm a super simple lassy when it comes to make-up, little bit of Burberry beauty foundation, touch of bronzer and mascara and that's it.. but recently I have been searching high and low for a really nice blusher. I came across the relatively new brand Smashbox which has the nicest blusher.. very eu natural and perfects my 'no make-up' look down to a tee!!
Jumper: Cashmere from Marks and Spencer (looove it), Short: W118 by Walter, which a brand I massively stock up on every time I go to NYC -definitely worth a look!
