Akasha Mountain Retreat

Exactly a year later – I had the privilege of staying at the most magical place in the world, once again, Akasha Mountain Retreat. (Read my previous reviews here with loads more pics!)

A year later, it feels as new and as magical! A place to switch off, unwind and recharge! A self catering retreat with 3 bedrooms & 1 outside room with kitchenette.

A new addition since we were last there, the trampoline.

Work up an appetite with a steep walk down to the river & back or just chill out by the fire!

The perfect getaway to relax & reconnect, or have a rip roaring party on that magnificent Moroccan terrace under the stars! 🙂 (For more information visit Akasha Mountain Retreat on Facebook Here or e-mail xx

Madison Boutique

It’s always a treat visiting Madison Boutique – if it’s not for their inspiring window displays, it’s the exciting new rails of clothing, that you just won’t find everywhere.

Beautiful new YAYA pieces in! Me, the sucker gravitating towards the grey!

Trying to convince myself I need ANOTHER grey sweater.

These purses with built in cell phone charger have been flying off the shelves. You must pop in to see the fashionable selection of prints and colours. Sigh – and this Parker. Makes me want to travel to far away (cold) places. Amazing.

And if you’re in the market for a seriously cool leather belt – these Stockton tan belts have just come in and are BEAUTIFUL! Now that’s a classic staple that will live for ever in closet land! Also love these cute track pants with star studs.

Pop back to see what I bought! 🙂 xx

Shanti Maurice: Part 3

The last of my 3 part instalment of Shanti Maurice – a magical spot in Mauritius! Shanti means peace, and peaceful it was – here’s a little overview of the 5 Star Resort.

(Dress: Poetry)

Ooh a girls dream come true – massive bathroom with clothing rails and storage to unpack properly, deep bath tub, shower and vanity. After a long day traveling, the huge bed was heavenly too. (Complimentary bottled water is available in the rooms as you cannot drink the water – and wifi! Although one should really take the opportunity to switch off in such magnificent surroundings ! !)

The resort has has 61 spacious suites and 17 beachfront Villas.

The grounds are lush, tropical and quiet – making walking back to ones room a treat for the senses as you enjoy the sweet aroma in the air. Luckily there are golf carts if you experience the odd downpour as we did, due to the passing tropical cyclone earlier in the week.

I mentioned the awesome time we had at The Rum Shed, But Shanti has 6 restaurants to suit any style, and you can arrange picnics on the beach if you feel for a more private and relaxed experience. We unfortunately didn’t get to do The Fish Shack but how amazing does that look. I kept saying to my husband, imagine a wedding here! Dine under the stars at the Fish Shack and after party at The Rum Shed! 🙂 We did however also enjoy a beautiful 3 course meal at Pebbles ( This restaurant is Included in the half board package – the crispy crab starter a favourite) and where you enjoy a beautiful a la carte menu for breakfast each morning.

At your leisure there is a Spa, Yoga, meditation and a fitness centre. A walk down the long, pristine white beach will do the trick too. Zen! There’s a wide variety of free water sports and the hotel can arrange activities such as shopping trips, nature walks, quad biking and more.
