Patch up

I'm sold on the benefits of acupuncture but after several sessions with various ( not mentioning any names) therapists I have to say Im too scared to go back. Although there are some who are very good and get my seal of approval including Gerad Kite ( Founder of the Kite Clinic) and Annee De Mamiel ( at the Method Spa), I was in search for a less painful option.

Enter LifeWave - a range of genius little patches that basically claim to do the same thing. The idea is that these clever patches gently stimulate acupuncture points - literally

improving the flow of energy in the body to help improve pain and discomfort or enhance energy or slow down the aging process. My Y Age patch ( the one for antiaging) is firmly in place and i'm awaiting small miracles....

Be inspired at Alchemy

Stuck in rut? Maybe its time to check out one of Alchemy's forthcoming events which include a range of talks, workshops and book launches led by some of the world's best motivational speakers, authors, conservationists and trailblazers of our time. It might just change your perspective, inspire you or at the very least put you in a good mood. Nicole Hambro ( co founder of the centre) has a genius way of luring the best people in the industry as well as creating a wonderful atmosphere at all of her events.

Two events to check out are Linda Tuckers launch of her revised and updated book Mystery of the White Lions: Children of the Sun God on 28th May and of course don't miss the charismatic David Hamilton who will be visiting on 5th June with a talk exploring why kindness is good for us. Sounds good to me...
