Aqua Sheko Fish Therapy Spa
Following on from the launch of Aqua Sheko on Monday, we have some images of the tanks and spa itself for those that were wondering (like us) exactly what the ‘new’ concept treatment would entail. At first glance you would almost fail to recognise the fish tanks were even there with the oriental inspired décor more like that of a West End bar, rather than an aquarium or spa. As it is a foot treatment you’ll only need to remove your footwear... Read More
sen7 Fragrance Atomizer
Summer. It’s pretty warm at the moment and with higher temperatures still on the horizon, keeping fresh this summer may be a difficult task. To begin with, make sure you have a reliable anti-perspirant (as opposed to deodorant) and keep your summer scent topped up while on the move.

Polo Classic Fragrances to Go…
Travelling laws are getting more stringent by the year; the scene of ‘distressed’ holiday makers frantically rooting through their previously perfectly packed luggage has become all to regular.

How to look after your hands: Non-Oily Hand Creams
The handshake is more often than not a gentleman’s first point of physical contact with another person, and hence a vital part of the overall first impression you leave with that person. While some men still find it ‘unmanly’ to use moisturisers, inevitable trips to the bathroom and general everyday tasks will dry out your hands. Now back to the handshake; granted you don’t want them to have to wipe their hands after shaking yours (greasy... Read More
Ultimate Gift: Church’s Valet Box

Now that is what you call Heritage. Furthermore Church’s is based in Northampton, a county which has been the centre of a flourishing leather and footwear industry since the Middle Ages. So it’s fair to say that if you want real... Read More
