Primark Beauty Studio with Rawr Beauty

Primark on Oxford Street in London's West End is one of those stores that has everything - it has a cafe, a huge home ware section, a section for men, women, children and then of course a beauty studio and nestled within that is a place you can take a break from your shopping spree to have some 'me time'.
Primark Beauty Studio with Rawr Beauty
In collaboration with Rawr Beauty, the beauty studio is located on the ground floor of Primark and despite being in the midst of the gift section, the winter coats and accessories and the beauty hall, it is amazing just how quiet it is as you wait for your treatment.  Treatments that are on offer include a manicure with gel polish, normal polish or even extensions, added to that you can have eyebrow threading, waxing, a blow dry, brow reshape and tint, a facial and a selection of pedicures.  I was treated to a deluxe pedicure just a few days ago and it was an amazing experience and not at all like I was expecting.

If you are in Primark and you do fancy a treatment, you can book in advance or you can wait for a walk-in appointment, both are offered and are really easy to book.  I was shown to my pedicure station and was able to sit and soak my feet for a few minutes whilst choosing a nail polish shade for my toes - always a stressful choice when presented with so many beautiful shades. Whilst soaking my feet, I was asked whether I had an allergies, any issues with my feet, toes or any concerns that I had - quite impressive when so many places I have visited don't ask.

The Deluxe Pedicure, which costs just £30 includes file and shaping of your nails as well as cuticle care and with it a foot scrub to remove any dead or dry skin, application of foot cream and with it a massage plus the application of polish. If you want a gel polish, that is also an option.  I chose shade 75, a deep sparkly midnight blue shade which has a slight iridescent hue when caught in bright sunlight and it is absolutely stunning.  With my feet, I have small toes and I do suffer with hard, dry skin, so I was able to talk about that and my ankle injury as well as Plantar Fasciitis which I also suffer with.  When the injury flares up, my feet become incredibly painful to the touch and walking is often a struggle, particularly on my left foot where I have the injury.  So, all of this was taken into account throughout the treatment and not once did I have to ask for a break.

Throughout my whole treatment, it being half term too, Primark was obviously busy and bustling, but sitting in my comfy chair, not paying too much attention to the fact someone was touching my feet (we all know how much I dislike but like it) to make them look less like trotters and more like something presentable, I was loving being able to people watch. My beautician and I laughing at the stressed and harassed looking husband and partners being dragged round the store, kids fuming that they are not at home on their Playstations but instead are  being made to try on coats and hats, was all very amusing, but it was also really quiet. I was surprised at just how little noise there was, having expected not to be able to enjoy a natter as I had my treatment, but I was able to do just that and it was a really relaxing experience and if I am honest, one of the best and most comfortable pedicures I have ever had.

I would happily go back for further treatments with Rawr Beauty, I was made to feel really welcome, my treatment was as relaxing, the end finish I am just delighted with and it was lovely to be able to switch my over-working brain off for an hour to think of nothing other than myself and what treatment I would like next!  If you are in Primark and see you a Rawr Beauty Studio, book yourself in for a treat - absolutely worth it!

Bedroom Decorating Inspiration

Over a series of posts, I have shared some of the re-decoration we have been doing throughout our home - flooring, a brand new bathroom, the lounge, hallway and now kitchen, all of which started with Lockdown and has continued ever since.  You start with one job, then another and before you know, it’s never-ending.
My main source of ideas and plans have come via Pinterest, I can spend hours looking through interior decor pins for every type of room, even the tiles on my bathroom wall are Pinterest inspired.  The colours you choose as well as the accessories can all influence your mood and how you feel about your living space.  

We have a boxy square shaped bedroom and currently it is the only room in the house that has yet to have any love or attention, other than a mood board on Pinterest.  I would love to have a feature wall using wallpaper murals or even a different shade of paint, something that evokes a sense of calm and tranquillity and I am currently looking at soft greens or grey with blush, which seems to be very on trend.
The bedroom for many is a sanctuary, a place that they can escape too and shut out the world and for me, creating that space is as important as finding the right bed (which I still haven't done) and mattress as well as the rest of the furniture to make it as functional as it needs to be too.  Naturally I would love to have walk-in ward

What I like about the idea of a mural wall is that you can now buy peel on and off wallpaper, so if you want to change it mid-way through the year, you can do so with ease or some companies now have an option that gives you the freedom to create your very own bespoke wallpaper, something I wish was available when I was a teen - wall to floor of my favourite bands! 

If you are or want to decorate your bedroom, what colours are you looking at?
