Take time out during the Christmas build-up

During all the madness in the build-up to Christmas I do think it's so important to make a little time for yourself, don't you agree?

Whether it's half an hour out of your day for a manicure or a long soak in the bath before bed, it really is the recipe for staying on top of things as the festive season creeps up on us.

I took some time out this week for a spot of indulgence at the wonderful beauty haven Gielly Green in London and decided a luxurious facial was just what the doctor ordered!

I was so delighted to be pampered by beauty guru herself, Amanda Birch. The charming expert facialist immediately put me at ease the minute I stepped into the salon. 

The combination of a snug warm treatment bed and gorgeous natural products meant I relaxed instantly and would quite happily have been pampered all day long!
      
I glided out of the salon feeling radiant, with glowing skin. The trick is to discover a facialist who really understands your skin type - and the beauty with Amanda's consultation is how she tailors products to your skincare needs.
     
Isn't it clever how an hour out of your day can make such a difference - I really did feel ready to face the day again - and there wasn't a sign of dark glasses in sight!

So have a great weekend and do try and squeeze in a pamper session if you can.
