What a great name for a mama and child-friendly spa: Cupcake. With locations in Putney and Wandsworth, London, Cupcake is a hotpsot for mamas and mamas-to-be to bring their littles ones to play at the Mini-Cupcake Club crèche while they chill out in The Treatment Rooms at Cupcake, take an exercise class or catch up with friends at the Cupcake Café. Cupcake is also used as a fun, funky venue for antenatal classes, baby showers and children’s parties.
Fresh from scooping Specialist Salon of the Year at The Professional Beauty Awards 2010 this week, Cupcake’s founder Karen Hastings shares her tips, below, for enjoying a little spa-time at home.
* A weekly face mask will boost your skin and make you feel radiant and glowing. Slap the mask on, leave for the time directed, then wash off. This can be done whilst still walking around the house, so you don’t lose any precious time.
* Treat yourself to a vigorous body scrub whilst in the bath or shower. It’ll help your skin to feel alive again and you will feel invigorated afterwards.
* Put your feet up with a good book and a heated wheat bag on your shoulders. This instantly helps to take away any pain or tension and the heat will ensure you get the relaxation you deserve. A mini-massage at home!
* Perk up those puffy eyes with the classic cucumber slice treatment. Cooling and refreshing, it will make you feel ten years younger.
