For the mom who has everything. For the mom who wouldn’t mind a little something. For the mom who says, come for lunch, but please, don’t bring me anything. For the mom who is far away, out of sight, but not out of heart and mind. For the mom who has never stopped being a mom. For the mom you live with, or for the mom who lives with you. For the mom who is your best friend. For the person who is like a mom to you.
The internationally recognized Spanish wellness brand, Aire Ancient Baths, has opened its signature candlelit bathing rituals in a dramatically reimagined 1912 Edwardian building whose original brickwork, exposed beams and industrial structure have been preserved. Behind the historic facade, the space has been transformed into a quiet, immersive environment designed to encourage disconnection from the pace of daily life. Candlelight, silence and flowing water focus on sensory immersion and stillness.
While floating in a candlelit bath in an intimate space with a century of history, you might feel like you have entered another world. I suggest you ask for the Hydrating Honey Ritual.
It’s a marriage made in heaven, and now we wonder, what took so long? ABSOLUT® Vodka and TABASCO® are firing up the spirits scene with the launch of a new spicy vodka. Tabasco was Founded in 1868 on Avery Island, Louisiana, and uses just three ingredients: handpicked red peppers, salt and vinegar. Once mashed together, the red pepper mix is aged and fermented in reclaimed oak barrels for up to three years, creating the sauce's subtle, unique flavour. Absolute Vodka is also made using just three natural ingredients - pristine water sourced from a local deep well, and a proprietary strain of yeast and winter wheat grown on nearby farms. This premium vodka is only distilled in the small town of Åhus in Southern Sweden, using the same continuous distillation process introduced by its Swedish founder, L.O. Smith, in the 1870s.
