Atkins

I have tried the cabbage soup diet, Weight Watchers, Slimmers World…you name it, and the only thing that seems to budge those unwanted few pounds is Atkins.  Sometimes the diet gets a bad rap but it has recently been reinvented with a focus on including more nutritional goodness as opposed to the previous ‘no carbs’ focus, so in order to lose those wobbly bits byChristmas I am giving it a go!

Last week I ordered my Starter Kit which came over the weekend and included a introductory book, some great recipes and some shake supplements and Atkins bars (which are great to snack on in-between meals)  Check back to see how I am getting on!

Christmas Gift of The Day

I LOVE Christmas and everything to do with it including the fantastic new limited edition bath and shower range from Imperial Leather!

Available in two different flavours – ‘Tempting’ with Passion Flower and Rice Milk and ‘Precious’, with Night Blooming Jasmine and Cotton Milk – both ultra luxurious and great for a cheap pampering at home! 

With news of the Savoy opening last month and the legendary Savoy Grill to open just this week, it is one of our favourite places to visit when in London. Great news has reached me that for a limited time only customers who spend £100 at the Savoy Spa, will also gain access to the privilege of using the state of the art Gym, Steam Room, Sauna and Pool – not bad! These facilities are usually only offered exclusively to guests and will make your experience even more indulgent. The £100 spend can be a combination of both treatment and product purchase.
