Shine Bright Like a Diamond

The Gold & Diamond Skin Revival Treatment 

 

Gold is the symbol for inner light, the sun and vital energy, while Diamonds are known to be the door to the terrestrial unknown.  The healing and anti-ageing properties of Diamond and Gold combined create a force that will stimulate and balance your skin, well-being, and remove toxins from the body with their healing abilities.  This rejuvenating treatment begins with a cleansing and toning of the face followed by a rose-hip oil massage to the neck, décolletage and shoulders. Dead facial skin will then be removed with an exfoliator followed by a Precious Oil Mask containing gold flakes.  As the mask releases its anti-ageing properties you will be pampered with a revitalising hand and arm treatment beginning with a massage of the forearm and hands, the Precious Oil Mask is then applied to the back of the hands where ageing appears.  The face mask is then removed and the pure anti-ageing extract oil is applied with pinching techniques to improve tone, absorption and elasticity.  Following this the hand mask is removed and you will enjoy a luxurious scalp massage and before completing the treatment with youth moisturiser applied to the face, décolletage and hands.

Treatment: €110

Spectacular New Headland in Development at Inchydoney Island Lodge & Spa

 

Spectacular New Headland In Development at

Inchydoney Island Lodge & Spa

Inchydoney Island Lodge & Spa has begun a €300,000 project to enhance and protect the natural beauty of the headland of Inchydoney Island in an initiative that provides increased access and unparalleled dramatic views of the Atlantic Ocean and the stunning views of the West Cork coastline.

The focus of the redevelopment, which is due for completion in April is on natural harmony and the seamless integration of the elements into the natural habitat. It will include features such as a picnic terrace, specially designed headland walk routes, amphitheatre style seating and a Wind Garden.

Conservation management is one of the key factors in the enhancement project because over time both the Atlantic Ocean and public access have taken their toll on the eroding headland. Inchydoney wants to ensure that we manage and preserve the headland for generations to come.

When completed in April, the headland will be visually alluring with meandering paths, stone faced walls with grass seating, proper fencing and lighting along with replenished native species of shrubbery, grasses and foliage. A viewing platform will be constructed overlooking the beach and headland providing stunning photo opportunities.

As the footpath and ancillary routes snake around to the open clearing, there will be a picnic area with a large range of viewing areas, and art and sculpture displays in the Wind Garden.  The concept of the Wind Garden will be to harness the natural wind speeds of the area, which are typically high, and channel them into a scenic art project where the installations will respond naturally to the elements.

Proprietor of Inchydoney Island Lodge & Spa, Des O’Dowd, says, “We are delighted to be the guardians and custodians of this beautiful landscape. We would like to leave it in a better way than we found it.”

This is a joint initiative between Inchydoney Island Lodge & Spa and West Cork Development Partnership.

Positive Thinking Change Your Mindset and Run Like The Wind

Our Spa Manager Heidi Grimwood is training for the Clonakilty Waterfront Marathon 

 

Training for a marathon no matter how small even the 10km is no easy task. Like most of us we need to juggle family life, work life and try to squeeze in runs when we can. The colder mornings are not encouraging when you’d rather be relaxing with a hot cuppa rather than running outside. However there is nothing more satisfying than completing a run and the adrenaline that comes after.

Top mistakes I have made over the past couple of weeks include not eating breakfast before my run and wondering why my body doesn’t want to move! Not stretching after the run which is essential and  as a result getting sore knees and back. Finally poor mental attitude – running with a mind set of I DON’T WANT TO DO THIS – does not help you finish your training for the day!!

So, yesterday I woke up with a positive frame of mind even though it is pouring with rain and blowing a gale, ate my 2 slices of gluten free toast with a slice of ham on them and a small bowl of water melon, strutted to the starting line with Mark Hilliard of Finish Line Fitness and set off on my 10km training.  I felt amazing, full of energy and positive. Apparently drivers passing claim to have seen me with a big smile on my face too!! I finished my time 3 minutes faster than the previous week and although a little stiff in the afternoon I felt positive that my training was back on track. I am taking my usual break for the weekend and will resume with a 5km run Monday morning after the school run.

I am enjoying seeing the improvements that I am making in my running but know without the mind and body coaching from Mark Hillard I wouldn’t have got this far so thank you!
