Friday Favourites

Friyay! While we know it's technically only been a short week, we can't help but find ourselves counting our lucky stars waking up on a Friday morning. With no more reasons to stress, give yourself a break and check out this week's Friday Favourites with a glass of Pinot Noir on hand, go on... we insist.

ECOYA Limited Edition Candles

Ecoya's new range of limited edition candles will transport you to the tropics in an instant. Inspired by a summer spent in the South Pacific and Australasia, you may very well find yourself on Fiji time... just a warning. 

Lanree Aesthetics

If you're anything like us, the dreaded words "summer is around the corner" have been haunting your every move. No fear, Lanree Aesthetics is here to save the day and to save your summer! Their CoolSculpting fat-freezing procedure will treat tummies, love-handles, thighs, forearms and even bra lines. The procedure works towards eliminating any stubborn fat that manages to make itself at home despite efforts through diet and exercise. It is the only fat-freezing procedure that is FDA-cleared and non-surgical where results are proven, noticeable and lasting! Treated fat calls will be crysalised (frozen) and then eliminated by the body through metabolism, leaving you with the sculpted figure you've always desired.

Excuse us while we spend our lunch break frantically filling our cart....
