Feel rejuvenated

Open-toe shoes or sandals are just not something you see weather-weary Canadians wearing in the winter. The only advantage of shoving your feet into socks and a pair of fur-lined boots for months on end is not having to keep up with your pedicure.

Honestly, I would do it myself at home with a neutral nail varnish because I play football, or soccer depending on where you’re from, and the polish is worn the next day. However, after moving to Bahrain I soon realised keeping up on a professional mani-pedi was imperative.

People do look at feet in the elevator. I am serious, because many don’t want to chat and prefer to stare at the floor.

When I visit a salon I look for a great deal and I bring my own nail polish because I never find the shade I’m in the mood for. Okay, this brings me to this week’s deals, obviously!

Want to feel rejuvenated? Step into a relaxing environment at Yara Beauty Lounge on Amwaj Islands. Their salon is tranquil and run by a professional team able to provide hair, face or body treatments. Get a massage, mani-pedi, facial, Moroccan bath, body shaping and even tanning. You can receive a spray tan for special events without having to risk your health out in the hot sun.

I checked out Red Tag’s ‘Winter’s Charm’ collection and still can’t believe the value for the quality and design. My eye was drawn to a black vest in a faux fur for only BD8.9. This vest will warm up your core while looking super ‘chic’ with a pair of slim pants and high boots.

I noticed a lot of dusty rose, burgundy and black in multi-layered texturing. The collection uses a lot of subtle accenting with studs, shimmer and shine. Sharp black is softened with lighter tones that will bring out the colour in your completion while slimming the figure.

Many pieces reflect an autumn colour palette with browns, burned orange, mustard, beige and gold. Honestly, you can throw an outfit together for well under BD15 at Red Tag and feel confident about your budget and the start of your winter wardrobe.
