Chipping Away at My Bucket List...Earlier this year I was fortunate to receive a bursary to study Italian - in where else - Florence, Italy! Yes, you read that correctly, and no - I didn't dash off to research Italian mud for the Rosewater while I was there. Italy was a dream come true! Italian is truly the world's most loved and loveable language. In my case I got to inhabit "la bella lingua" to explore a little of Italy's history, art, music, lifestyle and food. I returned with a desire to go back again to continue my life long passion for learning new languages. Ciao for now! Liz Belford New! Thalassotherapy Massage Feel the difference! Have you ever heard the term "taking the waters"? Beginning in the mid 1800's Europe's royalty and the rich and famous travelled to France to 'take the waters' as it was called, experiencing a warmed ocean water bath with raw seaweed. This is the foundation for thalassotherapy. The benefits of thalassotherapy are to increase blood circulation, reduce inflammation caused by the depletion of vital minerals due to stress, poor diet, and pollution. The treatment helps to detoxify and nourish the body through our largest organ, our skin. We're positively thrilled to announce that we have added this ancient treatment to our offering.
