Bath butlers at The Goring, plus three
of the best ways to protect your skin from the sun’s rays
Bathing beauties
The Goring – pre-nuptial crash pad of the
Douches of Cambridge – is an undisputed lovely place to stay. But between 15
July and September, the hotel’s guests will be encouraged to transport
themselves across the globe – by the way of the bath. With Molten Brown, the
hotel is offering a ‘London via the World’ bathing menu inspired by the brand’s
fragrance collections. Channel China, The Gulf of Guinea, Australia and
Madagascar with the aid of a Goring bath butler.
Noble cause
We’re fully signed up members of the Noble
Isle fan club – any beauty brand that has bothered to travel the British Isles
to source the ingredients for Heather Honey hand wash and lotion made from
Perthshire bees, scores points with us. Simple and modern, the brand is now
available at Fortnum and Mason, Liberty and Fenwick.
The perfect blend
We are loving Blend Collective’s simple and
stylish packaging as well as the delicious scents that are the threads running
throughout the range, which includes hand cream ($20), candles ($40) and a
balancing soap bar ($15), all of which have been devised especially by leading
UK perfumers.
It’s a lock in
The Chelsea Day Spa is offering its
pampered clientele the chance to really shut out the rest of the world. Just
rally nine of your friends, and the boutique spa will close its doors to anyone
else for up to eight hours. Choose from a menu of your choice of Darphin or
Hydropeptide prescriptive and anti-ageing facials, deep tissue and aromatherapy
massages, manicures and pedicures including gel overlays using nail care brand
Jessica, waxing, threading and lash tinting – all the while scoffing fresh
fruit and cupcakes, herbal tea and champagne. $1600 for private hire of The
Chelsea Day Spa Boutique from 10am – 6pm during Sundays and Mondays, only upon
advance request. Hours can be extended upon request. thechelseadayspa.co.uk.
