@thelangleyuk SPA REVIEW (It’s a tough gig but I @thelangleyuk SPA REVIEW 

(It’s a tough gig but I’m taking one for the team here).

1) It’s set in the former Palladian manor house of the 3rd Duke of Marlborough in Buckinghamshire. For you Londoners, it’s just outside the M25.

2) The rooms are luxe luxe - beautiful period features meet modern amenities. The roll top bath overlooking the Capability Brown gardens is a nice touch.

3) The spa is large and very impressive - a large indoor pool with thermal pools plus sauna/steam etc and spacious, chic dressing rooms. You could easily wallow here all day. 🦛

4) The outdoor pool is very bougie. That’s all.

5) Treatments are by @espaskincare and take place in these spacious rooms. The spa uses @espaskincare (the OG brand!) and my Inner Calm massage with Ruby more than delivered on its promise. Excellent. There’s also a nail salon. 

6) The gym has ALL the equipment and some funky options like an interactive wall which feels a bit like grown up twister.

7) The Churchill bar is glorious place to retox.

No pic but The Cedars restaurant is special occasion dining with influences from France, Spain and Italy. Very high quality ingredients. The head waiter was mucho Italian and his accent plus my deafness made for some hilarity. 

Not sure there’s any negatives - maybe only that the breakfast orange juice was a bit Sunny Delight! 

Ask me any questions ⬇️.

Thank you for organising @pureprlondon 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 #pressstay
No this is not the world’s most glamorous nit nurs No this is not the world’s most glamorous nit nurse - it’s @anabel_kingsley - eminent trichologist @philip_kingsley (her dress is @boden btw).

I’ve never been to the W1 clinic before and it’s a serene place where they take all hair woes seriously.

@anabel_kingsley studied my scalp and asked lots of questions about my diet (pretty good), hair washing habits (less good) and styling (lots of heat = breakage). 

She said the thinning was minimal but it was good I came in at this stage because it’s easiest to help then. She’s sending me for blood tests but thinks she will probably prescribe low dose minoxidil. She thinks the cause is mainly age related as hair can shrink in diameter as we clock up birthdays. It’s usual to see it in this area.

Then I had the most heavenly treatment involving steaming/massage/lots of products. My scalp feels reborn.

I now understand all the little things - good brush, regular hair washing, heat protection - add up to good hair 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Will let you know how I get on with the minoxidil in a three months.

WHEN LIFE COMES FULL CIRCLE! Here’s my daughter WHEN LIFE COMES FULL CIRCLE! 

Here’s my daughter shooting for @spotsandstripes - a skin care brand for teens and tweens created by my old boss @charlotte_annefidler . V proud! 

@charlotte_annefidler was the beauty director @elleuk in the 90’s and her shoots were always incredible. I was her assistant - in charge of getting all the outfits (pieces!) from the designers and booking some of the travel (😳). (No 42 from Gucci! Hat from @philiptreacy! Plane from Barbados to Bequia! (I had never been to Caribbean so had zero clue what I was doing). 

We went to NY, LA, Paris, Milan - often shared a room. On slide 2 we are shooting with @catherinezetajones and those are @dolcegabbana belts which I practically had to sell a kidney for. On second slide we are in NY and that is my very unchic lime green case which I bought because it was a) on sale and b) lime green so unlikely to get nicked. The third slide we are in the fashion cupboard which was magnificent (full of ah-mazing clothes) and also awful (no daylight). 

Feel very greatful to have those memories!

@charlotte_annefidler has also been through a very tough marriage break up and has battled through and created this amazing brand. The shoot was to launch its anti blemish gel. Which sounds excellent (I’ll put link in my bio).

Shout with any of your 90’s memories…😘
BITTERSWEET GOODBYES Yes she’s gone to university BITTERSWEET GOODBYES

Yes she’s gone to university…

Times checked Life 360? 40
Unwanted bits of life advice given? 100 
3am moments of terror? I. More to come
Calls for help with TV control? 0 so far
Tears shed? A lot.

But I’m so happy that’s she’s made it - through her own hard work, drive and resilience and help from many people in her life. 

I feel like the bird in the nest watching their chick flap off and PRAYING TO GOD they fly. She will I’m sure of it. 

But who will correct my Gen X cringe chat? Talk to me at 11pm about really pressing issues? Tell me the real truth about those jeans I’ve bought. Educate me on vegetarianism/tik tok/Kardashian tea?

Is this you? Has this been you? Love to know your thoughts and please God  your advice!
