The Secret to Luscious Locks
Contrary to popular belief, the secret to healthy hair is not related to the shampoo you use but the food you eat.
Secret 1: Water
Yes we know you have heard it before but we’re telling you again. Water makes up a quarter of the contents of our hair and our bodies need a regular intake, 8-10 glasses a day to be precise. Do not wait until you are already thirsty as this means you are...
We love Honey!
We all know honey is yummy on toast, but did you know our sweet treat is also well known for its medicinal qualities.
Honey can be used as an antiseptic for minor burns, cuts and wounds. Its ability to reduce inflammation and promote healing is well known. Search especially for Manuka honey native to New Zealand as it can be exposed to heat and light and can even be diluted and it won’t...

Would you get a $550 Snakeskin Mani/Pedi?

That’s what happened to 40-year-old nail technician Terri Silacci who “was dying to figure out a way to match her nails with the tote.” And a new manicure craze was born, according to the NY Post. She told the paper, “It wasn’t until my kids brought [the shedded skin of a 4-foot python] home that I...

Get threaded and grow shapely brows..
Most people would agree that thicker brows have been in style for quite some time now, and there’s some very good reasoning behind the trend. While thin, over plucked eyebrows may look unnatural and severe, full eyebrows often look more youthful and natural, not to mention they intensify eyes and cheek bones.
Eyebrow threading is a relatively new phenomenon to the UK beauty industry but has been...

Here is the Daily Mail’s Edwina O’Reilly’s vertict on Semi-Permanent make-up, what do you think?
With a two-year-old daughter and a hectic working life, it’s hard to find time to wash my hair, let alone apply cosmetics.

As Rihanna tours the world with her punishing concert schedule, how does she always look so luminous and fresh? Well, apparently she simply takes every chance she has to rest and drinks lots of water. Two things most of us probably don’t do enough of!

Anne Semonin Editorial
The first, 20 years ago, to combine essential oils and trace elements, the first to create spas offering à la carte treatments, Anne Sémonin was a brand which, when I took it over in 2003, I regarded as having two major advantages: cosmeceutical efficacy and personalized, “made-to-measure” products and treatments.
As a dedicated globetrotter, I have visited every spa worldwide, and tested...
