Veronique Photography Feature and Giveaway

ENTRIES ARE NOW CLOSED

Today I am featuring the lovely Veronique Mills on my blog. Veronique is a talented local photographer, who is very passionate about what she does, she believes that a photograph can capture a certain moment in time and portray great emotion.

I believe art is a personal experience. It gives me the greatest feeling of achievement when people look at my photos and experience the captured essence and feel of a moment in time.

Newborns are one of her favourite subjects, she feels that there is something so special in capturing those first few days of a little baby’s life, something a parent treasures forever! Her newborn photographic studio, Veronique Photography, is based in Kenridge, Cape Town.

I love all things baby and have bought some great props for my newborn shoots.

During her newborn photo sessions Veronique’s aim is to ensure that your precious bundle of joy is happy at all times! She has a heater to keep them warm, white noise to soothe them and lots of blankies, props and hats to make the whole experience magical. Her recommendation is to capture your little one within the first 5-8 days after birth, as they tend to be more sleepy and less likely to wake up or cry.

I am super excited to announce that we will be giving away a Newborn Studio Package worth R1000, to one lucky mom & her babe!

The package includes:

A 4 Hour shoot in her studio situated in Kenridge, Cape Town
A DVD with between 30 – 70 high-resolution photos, professionally compiled and edited
A Slideshow of images to music

Equinox Spa Cape Royale

On Tuesday morning I was treated to a wonderful spa experience at the Equinox Spa Cape Royale, in Green Point Cape Town. The timing could not have been more perfect as the girls went back to school on Tuesday as well, so it was indeed a bit of much-needed, rather self indulgent “me-time”.

The Cape Royale is situated in Green Point overlooking the grandiose Green Point Stadium and is perfectly positioned just outside the Cape Town CBD and the V&A Waterfront making it perfect for businesses and leisure travellers.

Upon arrival at the hotel I was greeted by a door man adorned in a top hat and tails and escorted through the elegant reception area, to the elevators which take you up to the Equinox Spa. The decor in the spa is magnificent, luxurious with a hint of drama. A monochromatic colour scheme is punctuated with bursts of colour. Black and white damask wallpaper adorns the walls and a beautiful ornate chandelier in the reception area gives the spa an almost ethereal feeling.

I was greeted by the friendly staff who showed me to the changing area, fully equipped with lockers and showers for guests to use. I was asked to change into a crisp white robe and shown to a waiting area, here I was offered cucumber flavoured water and a selection of healthy nibbles. My therapist Zama then took me to the treatment room which was warm and inviting. I was then treated to an hour-long hot candle massage, which is not a treatment that I have had before so I was very intrigued to experience it for the first time.

The oil that collects at the top of the burning candle, is used for the massage, it felt sublime on my skin. The hot oil is said to relieve muscle pain and stimulate blood circulation in the body. Needless to say the treatment was amazing, from the beautifully scented candle, raspberry and lavender I believe, to the gloriously warm and soothing oil the candle produces – I was in heaven! The massage itself was wonderful, with just the necessary amount of pressure, I tend to carry my stress in my neck and shoulders so there were lots of knots to work out.

Equinox is a realm of indulgence, offering individualized professional therapies with a touch of couture elegance

I would definitely recommend a visit to the Equinox Spa and I will definitely be back there in the future to experience more of their world-class treatments. To find out more about the spa and other treatments they offer, visit their website here.

I loved the experience so much that I would like to treat one of my lucky readers to a Nimue Facial!
