Hydrohealing - London day spa

During my first (and last) time at HH, I saw Daniella for a facial and a hydrodetox (which includes a body wrap, colonic -done by someone else - and lympatic drainage). I found Daniella very helpful, calming and didn't make endless, pointless conversation and the facial sent me straight to sleep. The body wrap and lymphatic drainage were absolutely excellent - she explained everything and the treatments were just sublime. No complaints!

I have colonics regularly at another clinic but wanted to check this place out. BIG MISTAKE! This was the worst colonic EVER! Not only does the therapist have the most annoying voice, she had no clue what she was doing. The fact that I actually paid for the treatment is very frustrating.

At one point the hot water stopped working, so another treatment was offered to me. But once I'd chosen another treatment, they told me that time was short (because THEY had been dealing with the water issue), so how about coming back? When I expressed my frustration, the hot water miraculously started working and there was suddenly time for all of my treatments. I left more stressed than when I arrived!

Christian Louboutin - London shop

With the exception of Chanel and MB, there are no better shoes. I wear them and I love them - they're worth every single penny. However, I will NEVER buy them from Motcomb Street store again. The service is horrendous. I was treated as nothing by the store assistant over a year ago and I haven't been back since.

Go to Harrods, where they have a great selection and you get treated like an actual person.
