The beauty of spa days is that they always feel personalised. For your mum, it means spending a few precious hours in her own company and enjoying tailored treatments that put her wants and wishes first.

From tables spread with festive favourites to Christmas stockings filled with treats, the mouth-watering array comes in all shapes and sizes. 

Christmas is fast approaching and although it’s easy to get wrapped up in the excitement and festivities, it’s important to take some time out for yourself along the way.

Christmas is a magical time, but commitments to see family and friends, Christmas shopping and the associated expenses, and the general stress of organising the perfect day can feel overwhelming.

Life can be intense sometimes, and never more so than over the festive season. Among all the preparations, planning and celebrations, there are precious few moments to sit back and take a breather.

With winter on the way, our bodies can benefit from a boost to help fight off the slew of seasonal bugs and help us stay in tip-top condition.  From healthy eating and exercise to mindfulness and meditation, there are several simple and super-effective steps you can take to boost your immune system and maximise your health this winter. 

Did you know that World Reflexology Week is just around the corner? It’s the perfect time to find out more about this non-invasive complementary health therapy with roots in ancient wisdom.

For both men and women, there are lots of reasons why training pelvic floor muscles is really important. Supporting the bladder, bowel, prostate, uterus and more, these muscles play a crucial role in the body’s health. 

What better way to relax than with the perfect mum to be spa day? An idyllic way to treat yourself to well-deserved R&R during your pregnancy and ahead of the arrival of your little one, dreamy spa days offer a wonderful way to unwind. Whether you’re seeking a day of solo relaxation or would like to surround yourself with your favourite people, here are some of the top things to consider to make your spa day as restful and relaxing as can be.

Enter the world of aerial yoga, a practice that has been captivating yogis and transforming bodies around the globe.

Unlike traditional yoga, aerial yoga elevates the experience—quite literally—to new heights. But don’t be fooled into thinking this is just another fitness trend destined to vanish into the Instagram archives.

We’ve all seen the photos: graceful figures suspended in mid-air, wrapped in silks. And yet, you might find yourself wondering, what exactly is the point of hanging upside down? Is there more to aerial yoga than meets the eye?

Everyone knows that preparing for a marathon takes months of sweat, tears and intensive training. But how often do you hear people talk about post-marathon recovery?

Well, we should be talking about it. Because the steps you take after you cross the finish line are almost as important as the strides that got you there.

Call it 'un-training', if you like. Here's how to prepare your mind and body for another 26 miles.

Cold water therapy has gained a lot of traction over the last few years and, not without good reason.  One thing to note is that this trending technique isn’t just yet another health fad working its way around the various social media platforms. 

We’ve all seen various friends and fitness-nuts proudly plunging their bodies into freezing pools and sharing it on their stories, often leaving us wondering exactly what they’re getting out of it. Well, if you’ve always wondered about the “how” and the “why” behind this seemingly insane behaviour, we’re here to tell you the cold, hard facts behind the Wim Hof Experience.

Solo spa breaks offer a wonderful way to reconnect with yourself, tempting with the promise of well-deserved R&R. Far removed from the rhythm of everyday life and the distractions that come along for the ride, these dreamy breaks from reality provide an important opportunity to unwind and settle into a more relaxed pace.  

It's a trope as old as time. January rolls around and we enter a flurry of New Year goal-setting – only to feel like a failure by February when we inevitably miss our lofty targets.

Newsflash: you are not the problem. It might simply be that your 2023 goals were a little unrealistic. There's nothing wrong with aiming high. But you can't shoot for the stars without first landing on the moon.

There’s plenty to look forward to in winter - the roaring fires, hearty recipes and holiday cheer - but winter’s chill can come with a bite. The dropping temperatures, lack of sunshine and reduced exercise can prevent us feeling quite so merry. If you’re feeling in the need for a winter wellness boost, here are our top tips.

Imagine you could meet and speak to a great-great-great-great-grandparent. What would you talk about?

You'd probably start with technology. Smartphones, computers and the internet would be unthinkably extraordinary for someone born in the 18th century – especially the concept of a digital detox.

Then, invariably, the conversation would turn to food. And your out-of-place antecedent would probably be just as surprised by your dietary habits as they were by your iPhone.

When it comes to healthy habits, there is one easy, obvious and frequently overlooked action we can all take: stay hydrated. Your body is mostly water, so your fluid levels can affect your physical and mental well-being much more than you may think. It’s time to focus on the benefits of hydration.

The longer, lighter, warmer days are the ideal time to indulge in a Summer spa. As our schedules get busier, the sun gets hotter and the beaches beckon, it’s the perfect opportunity to press pause, take timeout for wellness and focus on our physical & mental health. At the Glass House, we know how to ensure a Summer spa helps you do all three.

Our bodies are beautiful, delicate, complicated things. Like the butterfly that flaps up a whirlwind, even tiny lifestyle changes can have a huge impact on our health and well-being.

For instance, did you know that sipping caffeine-free tea can help you sleep better? In this article, we look at the best blends of tea for a good sleep, as well as the importance of sleep for our health and well-being.

We all replenish our energy levels in different ways. Those of us who are extroverted may find themselves supercharged by the presence of others, while introverts gain energy wealth from their own company.

From the endorphin high to achieving our fitness goals, we all know the benefits exercise can have on our mental and physical health. Yet, not all workouts resonate with that we would call ‘fun’ and it isn't always easy to find the willpower to do a HIIT class or go for a jog after a long day....

Detox, the ultimate buzzword of social media. It’s thrown around in hashtags, captions and even used when describing fad diet products. Originally a word associated with removing harmful substances from your life is now often said without meaning, merit or thought. Why? Because hearing and seeing it so much means we’ve become desensitised to its true meaning and its potential, both good...

We're all familiar with that post-Christmas feeling when we swear we'll never eat another mince pie or Quality Street again. Half-eaten boxes of chocolates haunt the cupboards and the fridge is home to a handful of lone Brussel sprouts. It's time to get back into everyday life, but the thought of regular food shopping (that's shopping without copious amounts of festive cheese) feels uninspiring.

When we think of being vegan, it's likely the first thing we'll acknowledge is the exciting change to our diets, perhaps we'll also think about adapting our clothing habits to avoid leather and other goods derived from animals or animal by-products. But did you know there's a whole world of vegan skincare?  November is World Vegan Month and also marks the launch of our new Skincare Retreat...

However much you prioritise a healthy lifestyle, Winter can threaten to throw your hard-won detox and wellness gains off course.

But the great news is you can maintain that healthy Summer glow, even as Winter bites. Here are seven top tips for the best Winter skincare routines....

From gym classes to home video tutorials, the popularity of Pilates is undoubtedly on the rise. Even if you’re not one for the gym or have never taken part in a home workout, we’re sure you’ve heard of this revolutionary exercise that’s taking both workout novices and elite experts by storm...

Perhaps a Summer Spa is the getaway break you need (and deserve)? But wait, aren’t spas where people go to beat the winter blues? And aren’t they just for short stays?There are a lot of misconceptions around Summer Spa breaks, so read on to find out why you might want to ignore them and try a relaxing spa break for yourself...

Love it or loath it, we all know exercise is good for us. And after we’ve caught our breath, jumped in the shower and soothed aching muscles, there’s no denying we always feel that little bit better after raising our heartbeat and working up a sweat. These feelings aren’t just a coincidence. There are plenty of scientific reasons that prove exercise boosts our mood and makes us ...

Aaah, sleep, glorious sleep. How wonderful it is to drift off to the land of nod, and to arise, refreshed and ready to face the day seven to eight hours later. But how many people do you know who actually get the optimum amount of sleep? When was the last time you woke up naturally from a deep and nourishing sleep, ready to tackle the day without needing a jolt of caffeine to get you going? ...

Not long ago in the alcoves of human history, the thought of a surgeon completing open heart or brain surgery was fantastical. The same can be said for the array of pills now available.

For thousands of years humans evolved to live outside in all conditions. Not spend our lives indoors in air-conditioned offices or central heated homes. 

Wim Hof is one of the world's leading promoters of cold therapy and if it was up to Hof, we'd spend most of our lives outside.

The UK’s first purpose-built detox and weight loss retreat will launch later this year, located in the Essex countryside, only 50 minutes' drive from Central London.
