LONDON BEAUTY HOTSPOTS FOR PRE-HOLIDAY PREP

LONDON BEAUTY HOTSPOTS FOR PRE-HOLIDAY PREP

I’m weeks into my summer holiday (and loving every minute of it) and while the season of summer travel isn’t quite over, I wanted to share my tips that work year-round when it comes to prepping for your upcoming holidays in the city of London. I’m sharing my favourite go-to beauty hotspots that nourish the mind, body and soul before your next adventure whisks you away…

MIND

Where your mind is at is super crucial to your overall health and wellbeing. I have said many times before I am not your typically daily meditation guru so you know I mean it when I say these places work. I have created daily rituals that keep me centred and positive so I can be the best I can be for myself and my little family. Here are a few hotspots that help me along the way…

Re:Mind Studio

Want a little escapism in the city? This studio is a place you can fully immerse yourself in the moment and drown out all the noise. I would suggest the Sound Bath or the Angelic Reiki Healing

Vita Boutique Fitness

Whether you like group pilates reformer classes or a private session this spot is great to get a good hour in of exercise in the day. Keeping the blood flowing and making you feel like your best self before the bikini is out…when the class gets tough (the isolated pain can be agonising haha). Keep pushing through it and focus on how good you’ll feel post-workout and ready to rest and recharge on your upcoming trip.

KXU London

Super convenient class based gym, so easy to book on the app last minute. I find the spin classes are so exhilarating + there is great house music getting you pumped for a full cardio work out. Also you could try Paula’s body barre class to work on that booty… I have been going to KXU for years and really like the vibe. Highly recommend!

BODY 

Cellulite Slayer

This place I cannot rave about more…Squeeze a few signature lymphatic drainage massages in pre-holiday and some RF (radio frequency) and not only will you feel super light and refreshed after but it will boost your overall immune system so you have the energy to keep eating clean and doing work outs. A pre-holiday must-have in my book!

MINIMAL BY HADDA

By far my favourite Facialist in London, her technique is unique to her and she has the hands of an angel. A little birdie has told me she is no longer based at KXU but reach out to see if you can squeeze something in with her…she’ll give you the perfect pre-holiday glow.

SOUL 

How do I feed the soul? Finding time to be outdoors, whether that’s taking the kids to the park or walking the dogs. Other things I like doing is booking padel tennis with friends. Also another way to feed the soul is indulging in my beauty regime, whether that’s purchasing some pre holiday goodies or booking myself a blowdry, or nails … SELF CARE. 

Padel tennis locations

Unfortunately there is only one court at will to win in Hyde park but also Rocks Lane Padel Tennis in Chiswick has numerous courts and a good vibe as well!

Blowdry Spots

RUUBY App - at home, ask for Loren. Convenient and easy to book!

Aer Blowdry Bar - love the whole team - so convenient and just know exactly how to create the perfect bouncy blow dry. 

NAILS

Want to splurge and get those ‘it ’manicures then turn to Harriet Westmoreland or Georgia Rae to bring them to life. If you are last minute then Amy at Pretty Nails Gloucester Road

SUMMER BEAUTY PRODUCTS

SPACE NK is a great location to purchase SPF’s, some mini’s of your favourite products ( easy to travel with) and without fail Harrods Beauty Hall which has such an array of beauty products and skincare. 


Our beauty regimes and daily rituals are all personal to us and pre-travel prep can be quite a minefield especially when you have kids as well. these locations and services are all tried and tested by me and really help my MINd, BODY AND SOUL. I hope you love them and let me know what you think by either sending me a dm on instagram or comment below. happy summer travels!
