Travel Tuesday: Desert Island Beauty & Wellness- Part 7: Tao Te Ching

A popular radio program in the UK called Desert Island Discs asks a variety of listeners which eight records they would take to a Desert Island. 

A friend asked me what my beauty version would be. So here's the beginning of an eight part Beauty & Wellness series about what I would take with me if I was only allowed one item. 

The seventh item I would take if I wasn't allowed a fully loaded kindle would be a book. It's a great way to switch off from life, get absorbed into another place and relax. 

Tao Te Ching by Lao Tsu is a book you can read again and again. Every time you read it you grasp something else from it depending what's going on in your mind & in your life. 

I've included a picture as there seems to be several editions printed, but this is my favourite. It was introduced to me by a friend in high school and it's been a book I've turned back to many times over the years. 

Treatment Thursday- Winterise your feet

Thermal pedicures are the perfect deluxe treatment to warm you up over the winter and to help soften those hard working soles. Once the feet have been scrubbed, soaked, filed and cuticle work is complete a moisture mask is applied to the foot. The warm booties enhance the penetration of moisture into the feet and add more relaxation to a pedicure.
