Nourish the skin you’re in

Posted on by
NOURISH (verb) : Provide with the food or other substances necessary for growth, health and good condition

Online, on TV or in magazines – wherever you look, there’s no shortage of advice about how to nourish your body, about what to eat (and what not to eat!) to stay healthy.

But just how much do you know about making sure you’re nourishing your skin in the best way possible too?

Step forward Shona Munro, this Sunday‘s guest on Girls Around Town, whose luxurious award-winning skincare and perfumes are handmade in small batches, organic, vegan, with no water added and non-toxic.

She’ll be explaining what inspired her to set up Skin Elixir, describing some of the challenges she’s faced and talking about where she’s hoping to take the business in the future on this week’s show with Rosalyn and June.

There’ll be news too of Let Go & Flow Inner Sanctum Sunday, when Shona will be joining forces with Dena Smiles of Probiotic Love to host a celebration of some of Nottingham‘s finest wellbeing practitioners.

Find out what they have planned for Sunday 24 June, when a yoga class, Shamanic Open Heart Drumming Meditation and a range of workshops will be among the treats on offer during this four-hour retreat, which starts with a Probiotic Love Kombucha cocktail on arrival and includes a delicious lunch and goody bag too.

Tune in or listen online between 10am and 12 noon to discover how to nourish – and love – the skin you’re in…

Pampered to perfection

Posted on by

Looking for a bit of a lift to brighten up the dull, dark days of winter?

Well, there’s nothing better than a little ‘me time’, especially if it comes with the chance to indulge in a spot of shopping and a healthy dose of pampering too.

So here’s a date for your diaries when you can enjoy all that and more – and just in time for Valentine’s Day…

There’ll be plenty of treats to try and buy at the Ladies Pamper Evening taking place from 6.30pm to 9.30pm on Saturday 10 February at Bottesford Village Hall.

Enjoy a relaxing massage or an Indian head massage – polish up your act with a new nail colour – tidy up your brows or try a tint on your lashes – and while you’re there check out some of the different holistic and homeopathic therapies also on offer.

You’ll be spoilt for choice on the retail therapy front as well, browsing among a range of stands selling everything from candles, jewellery and garden gifts to handmade fabric pictures, knitted and sewn items and tanning products to name just a few.

Tickets are £2 each in advance or £3 on the door. Call Wendy on 07961 240654 or Juliette on 07946 368308 for more details and to reserve your ticket – or just turn up on the night ready to banish those winter blues for an hour or two!

Because you’re worth it…
