Tesco to launch prestige beauty brands
We broke the news about Tesco's imminent launch of in-store You Beauty salons back in March. Now we're pleased to announce that Tesco will be launching some seriously on-trend prestige beauty brands in selected Tesco stores in the very near future.
Included are ranges from Diego Della Palma, Natio, Le Couvent Des Minimes and The Vintage Cosmetic Company.
Tesco may be a controversial topic amongst many community-conscious shoppers, but this new launch will certainly make getting high-quality, unusual brands easy for beauty lovers with busy schedules.
Leeds Metropolitan University to launch Wellness Institute
As you know, we're all about training and education here at GSG. We attended a networking event about the training needs of spa staff back in July. The overall consensus was that training and continuing education are an integral and imperative part of working in the spa industry, both initially and on-going.
Leeds Metropolitan University have realised the need for more education, research and information about health and well-being, and have recently announced their intention to launch a Wellbeing Institute on campus.
According to the University:
"The Institute for Health and Wellbeing will undertake research into the health status of individuals and communities and will investigate issues including men's health, healthy communities, health promotion and nutrition and childhood obesity."
We're thrilled that these serious topics are going to be tackled by the university, and wish them every success in their research endeavours. We'll keep an ear out for their findings. If you'd like to find out more about the research in the meantime, visit the Leeds Metropolitan University website.
Sharing the spa love
The editorial team here at The Good Spa Guide have been busy little bees of late, and the autumn has heralded a new chapter in our editorial journey.
We're mad about blogs; we read them, follow them and value their contribution to the world of spa, health, wellness and beauty. As blogging becomes more and more of a staple in our technological world, we have teamed up with some of the very best beauty, health, wellness and grooming blogs to help spread the word about the wonders of spa.
As well as this glorious blog, you'll start to see guest posts from The Good Spa Guide on influential blogs such as Ape to Gentleman and Be Beautiful. We're keen to share the spa love, and reach out to an even wider audience.
Lend us, and the blogs, your support by reading, following, commenting on and sharing our posts. We can all be ambassadors for the Good Ship Spa!
Bovey Castle welcomes Sundari to the fold
The lovely folks at Bovey Castle in Dartmoor clearly love Sundari as much as we do. They recently announced that their wonderful spa is now a Sundari flagship destination.
