Serene Beauty



A couple of weeks ago I was invited by Bethaney to choose a couple of treatments* to enjoy at her new beauty salon Serene Beauty, which opened on May 1st. The salon is based in Upper Caldecote in Bedfordshire, the treatment room is decorated beautifully with dark purple linens and a very open space, which is lovely and relaxing. 




After having a look at the treatment list I chose to have a manicure and the Thai luxury facial. 
Unfortunately due to my job I can't have anything fancy with a manicure, so I went for a clear polish.  However, Serene also offer gels manicures and nail art! I had a my nails shaped and cuticles tided up before having a scrub placed on my hands and they were then wrapped in hot towels for a minute or so. Next I received a hand massage before the polish was applied. Serene Beauty use Morgan Taylor polish, which is a brand I had not previously heard of.

My next treatment was the Thai luxury facial. This again was using Thai products, I have sensitive skin and have previously only had Dermalogica facials. I always worry about using new products on my skin. I now have a skin care routine I am loyal to each night, and the idea of disrupting that with a new product worries me. However, Bethaney kindly offered I tried one of the products on my skin during the manicure, to test. Thankfully my skin reacted fine to the products. The Thai range is suitable for sensitive skin. The facial began by removing my makeup first, then a double cleanse, followed by a toner, exfoliant massage with Thai dumplings, hot towels were then placed over my face, face mask then lastly moisturiser and eye balm. This treatment really was lovely! I felt very relaxed and almost drifted off to sleep. My skin was left feeling clean, fresh and energised. I would really recommend this treatment.

Overall I enjoyed both of my treatments at Serene Beauty, it is a lovely salon and is definitely worth a visit. Check out their Facebook page for all the treatments they offer;

Honey, I'm home.



So I haven't been posting a lot recently, but that is all about to change! I have a few blog posts lined up,  with hauls, outfits of the day and night, reviews and of course a wish list or two. Here are a few photos to show you a few things I've been loving and what I have been up to. I turned 22 in April and had a fair few celebrations, with a day in London with my boyfriend, a night out in my home town and an adventure to Leeds with my girls. Fair to say May was a well needed detox month! Although my birthday was a month and a half ago I am still shocked to still have Topshop vouchers to my name. I have recently been struggling to find clothes I like at the moment, however judging by what's new in the vouchers won't be in my purse much longer! I have also been trying to master the app Depop, where you sell your unwanted clothes and accessories. I have sold a couple of things, but I am planning to revamp my profile. I have a huge amount I am wanting to sell! Depop is a mix between Instagram and Pinterest, and you can grab such a bargain! So check out my profile: @rhiannonw_x 




In the next week keep a look out for my new post, a review on a few treatments I received from Serene Beauty.
