Spring Refresh - beauty treatments to do now
These are the treatments that I would recommend to give your whole body a refresh before summer. After the long cold winter months it can take its toll on your whole body and mind. I love spring and the verdant green colours of the leaves fill me with joy. 🍃
Turning to a few great beauty treatments helps me to mark the change of seasons and emerge into the sunlight. I hope they will be helpful as I recommendations for you too.

Spa Break in Edinburgh with @ireneforteskincare .
I spent two lovely nights @thebalmoral to try their newly renovated @ireneforteskincare spa. It was a delightful winter break. The city shone in the sunlight and the spa soothed in its calm quiet space. Just what the doctor ordered.
The new spa design is tasteful and relaxing. Despite having tried the products before I fell in love with them all over again and have been using the serum and night cream since.
The hotel itself had wonderful views and great classic food. The service and staff were all so kind. Even carrying my bag to my train at 6am.
Thank you so much @ireneforte@roccofortehotels for hosting me and @dt__consulting for arranging it.

MICROBLADING - the journey from first appointment through to second topup with the best in london @laurakateartistry .
The best kind of beauty treatments allow you to forget all about them afterwards. They genuinely problem solve and make your life easier. Micro-blading my brows has completely removed any need to touch my brows. I barely even thread them now. They consistently look groomed and together but never over done. So happy I took the plunge with Laura. I couldn’t recommend her more.
See here for product details below…
Lighter makeup feels more youthful and healthy for me. So I’m using products lightly for a more subtle effect here.

Peony Lim is the next guest in our Tenth Stories by @tenthwellness editorial series and I loved working with her for this feature. We spoke for hours while I photographed her at her beautiful home and could have carried on for hours more.
Peony was one of the original fashion bloggers and is now one of the most recognisable luxury lifestyle content creators in the UK, working with iconic brands like Hermes and Chanel, mixed with a love for interiors and cooking. Peony’s next venture, Peony Alexander, is a luxury furniture brand, made by hand in the UK with the best natural materials and launches in 2026. She is also a mother of two, a true girl’s girl and very genuine.
I related to so much of what Peony shared in her interview with us, from never being sure if you’re too much or not enough as a mother to the power of an @artipoppe carrier that makes you feel more like yourself. They really do work magic on a new mother’s self esteem.
Here is an excerpt and Peony’s full interview can be found at /blog
What support (emotional, physical, or spiritual) did you find most meaningful during your recovery?
I was so lucky that my mum came to be with us after I had both our girls. She cooked so much healthy hearty home made food. She portioned it up and froze them in meals I could reheat for a month after. It meant I could eat well with no effort and it was such a gift. So comforting and healing emotionally and physically. She is my biggest supporter and most honest opinion too. But she has been so incredibly supportive of my parenting journey. She never criticises me, instead she always fills me with support and confidence in my skills, without which I think I would’ve been eaten up inside. I’m so lucky to have her.
Thank you for speaking with us @peonylim
