Recently I came across “Be more on it – A/W pieces you have to buy NOW!”
In my latest InStyle. Aside from the
awful job they did on airbrushing Reece Witherspoon’s face there’s a couple of things
about this that need to be said. First
off I'm still very much enjoying my Vitamin D hit and don’t want to even think
about purchasing a coat right now, give over about Autumn already.
Secondly, why do magazines seem to insist on telling us what we MUST do? Guide us, give us your opinion sure but
don’t tell us! As an independent woman
I find one of life's greatest pleasures is being able to decide how to treat
myself for myself! Which got me thinking about that very thing.
For me Jewellery has always been a real pick me up (said every woman
ever!). I’ll admit it took a while to
get on board with the stronger statement looks, but one make I do like to experiment
with is Bacoca Boutique. Nothing says summer like glistening non-apologetic in-your-face
jewellery and Bacoca has every shiny, sparkly, fun look under the sun. Which incidentally is where I like to wear
their pieces. Bold ‘know yourself’ kind
of people will most likely enjoy their necklaces which are perfect for adding a
little ‘attention grabbing attitude’ to your outfit on a summer evening.
Personally I’m fond of the bright cuffs, wrap bracelets and hair bands,
which come in an array of pretty colours and really appeal to my inner
magpie! Being so affordable it means I
can indulge without that nagging feeling I get much more often now that I’m
freelance.
The big news this summer is that Bacoca have those metallic tattoos as
seen in Stylist which are bang on trend - I’m waiting for the gold ones to arrive as I write. If you don’t believe me or Stylist, believe The BlondeSalad
– she’s been on the cover of Italian vogue don’t cha know?
Bacoca Boutique Jewellery has been available on line for a year now but
if you’re lucky enough to be spending some quality time at the Imagine Spa at
Cambridge Quy Mill
you can now see their products first hand.
Which brings me round nicely to another way I like to spoil myself (this
isn’t just thrown together you know!)
The Quy Mill’s Spa has a genuinely peaceful feel to it, probably due to
the max 20 people allowed rule. That said I was stressed when I arrived for my
facial on the hottest day of the year after a trying conversation with a client. On entering the perfectly temperate reception
I noticed pink and white petals and ever light LED candles along the hallway of
the treatment rooms. Starting to let go
of the annoyances of the day I felt quite comfortable in the presence of the delicate
looking beautician.
For a slender girl, she had surprisingly strong hands and I was
cleansed, scrubbed and slathered to within an inch of my life. Who knew it felt so blissful having someone
smoosh your face around like a pot of plasticine? The cooling flannel and face massage that I
received towards the end of my treatment was exactly what the doctor ordered.
In 30 minutes she had worked out all of my woes and then popped me back in the
waiting room with a drink of water, where the Bacoca Boutique Cabinet beckoned
me.
What's your favourite way to treat yourself?
