Beauty on the Green

The sandals may be heading towards the back of the wardrobe, but that doesn't mean your feet should be forgotten until next summer.

After months of sandals, flip flops, bare feet and walking around in the sunshine, our feet can definitely start to show the effects. Dry skin, hard skin and neglected toenails can all creep in without us really noticing, which is why autumn is actually a lovely time to give them some attention.

My Deluxe Pedicure includes hard skin removal, a relaxing foot soak, toenail and cuticle care, a foot and leg massage and heated boots before finishing with your choice of polish. You can also add gel polish if you want that longer lasting glossy finish.

There is something wonderfully relaxing about having your feet properly looked after, particularly as we head into the colder months when they're spending more time hidden away in socks and slippers.

You might not be showing your toes off quite as much now, but they still deserve to feel lovely. Plus, future you will be very grateful when next summer arrives and your feet are already looking fabulous.

I'm going to say the C word again, aren't I? 😂

With Christmas getting more expensive every year, I think there is something to be said for getting a little bit organised rather than leaving absolutely everything until December and wondering where the money went.

Tropic has some lovely gift sets this year that make it much easier to spread the cost of Christmas. You don't have to buy enormous presents for everyone. Sometimes a beautifully presented little collection is all you need to show someone that you've thought about them.

The Mango Brûlée Hand & Lip Selection is £12, the Frangipani Santal Hand Collection is £15, and the Coconut & Tonka Macaron Body Selection and Dream Team Collection are both £20. There are also options at slightly higher price points if you have someone special in mind who deserves a little extra pampering.

I particularly like these as gifts because they feel like something people can enjoy rather than another thing to find a place for in the house. Hand care, body care and lip care are always useful, and who doesn't like opening something lovely at Christmas and discovering a few little treats inside?

You certainly don't need to have your entire Christmas shopping list sorted in October, but if you can tick off a few people now and spread the cost over the next couple of months, December might feel considerably more manageable.

Future you will probably thank you for it. 😂

When was the last time you had an hour where nobody needed anything from you?

No washing to put away, no messages to answer, no jobs waiting to be done and no feeling that you should be somewhere else doing something more productive. Just time to lie back, relax and let somebody else look after you for a change.

My full body massage lasts 1 hour and 15 minutes, giving you plenty of time to properly unwind. Swedish massage uses a combination of flowing movements, kneading and pressure to help relax the body and mind, making it a lovely treatment when you're feeling tense or simply need a proper break.

You don't have to wait until your shoulders are practically up around your ears before booking one either. Massage can be a lovely way to build a little regular self care into your routine, rather than something you only think about when you're already feeling exhausted.

If October is already looking busy, perhaps it's time to put something in the diary that is just for you. You might be surprised how much difference an hour and fifteen minutes can make.

If you're looking for a lovely Christmas gift without spending a fortune, I've got some very good news for you.

Tropic has brought out some beautiful little gift sets this year, and I think they're perfect for those people you want to treat without needing to spend £50 or £60 on one present. The Mango Brûlée Hand & Lip Selection is just £12, while the Frangipani Santal Hand Collection is £15, making both lovely options for a friend, mum, sister, teacher, colleague or even a little treat for yourself.

There is something really lovely about receiving a gift that feels luxurious and thoughtful, and these sets have that feeling without the eye watering price tag. They're beautifully packaged, they contain products people will actually use and they give you that lovely little bit of everyday luxury that can make a normal Tuesday feel slightly more glamorous.

The Coconut & Tonka Macaron Body Selection at £20 and the Dream Team Collection at £20 are also great options if you want to spend a little more, with both offering a lovely selection of Tropic favourites.

Getting a few of these sorted now could also make December considerably less stressful. You can tick a few names off the list, put the presents somewhere safe and then feel smug when everyone else is running around the shops in December wondering what on earth to buy. 😂

If you'd like to have a look at the Tropic Christmas collections or need help choosing something, just message me and I'll be happy to help.

We spend so much time thinking about our face, hands and nails when it comes to beauty treatments that the poor back often gets completely forgotten.

It's a difficult area to look after yourself, particularly when you can't actually see what's going on back there! Your back can become dry, congested and prone to breakouts, especially after months of sweating, sun cream and warm weather.

My Facial for the Back gives your back exactly the same kind of attention you would give your face. The treatment includes a deep cleanse, exfoliation, hot towel, steam extraction and a mask to leave the skin feeling refreshed and invigorated.

It's particularly lovely if you're preparing for a special occasion, getting ready for a holiday or simply feel like your back deserves a little TLC. It can also be a great option for teenagers struggling with problematic skin on their back.

I think it's one of those treatments people don't always realise they need until they try it, and then wonder why they didn't book it sooner.

Your back might not be able to see what I'm doing, but I promise it will appreciate the effort. 😂

I know, I know... it feels far too early to be talking about Christmas when we haven't even properly got through October yet! 🎄😂

I promise I'm not about to start playing Christmas music in the salon or suggesting you put your tree up just yet, but there is actually a very good reason for starting to think about Christmas shopping now. Getting a few gifts sorted early can make December feel a whole lot less stressful, particularly when you can spread the cost rather than suddenly finding yourself needing to buy everything in the space of about two weeks.

Tropic has some gorgeous Christmas gift sets this year and a stunning advent calendar, and there are plenty of options that don't involve spending a fortune. I particularly love the smaller collections because they make lovely gifts for friends, teachers, work colleagues, family members or that person you always struggle to buy for. They feel special and beautifully presented without needing a huge Christmas shopping budget.

I'll be sharing some of my favourites over the next few weeks, including some of the more affordable options, so if you're one of those wonderfully organised people who likes to have Christmas wrapped up before December arrives, keep your eyes peeled.

If you're more of a Christmas Eve shopper who has been known to panic buy at the last minute, there is still time to change your ways. I won't judge!
