Pearl Ladies Pampering Event Review

I was lucky enough to be invited to a pampering event over the weekend. As some of you who know may know me - I never say no to a spot of pampering. The event was hosted by Pearl Network Events and I had a lovely time browsing the stalls which included fashion, beauty, skin care, food and drink. 

I was treated to a super relaxing neck and shoulder massage by the talented massage therapist, Bushra Ahmed Daudi. Lately my right shoulder has been hurting a lot, as I have a tendency to over pack my handbag. So a neck and shoulder massage sounded right up my street! After a 15 minute session the pain in my shoulder had lessened drastically! And by the next day it had completely vanished  Bushra also does a full body massage including head, shoulders, arms, legs, feet and back - using some of the products below. If you fancy treating yourself, book your appointment with Bushra on 07971741375. 

I also came across a yummy natural honey company called Bee Mercy. This company specialises in all natural raw honey products from northern Spain. There were some absolutely scrumptious honey flavours available, such as Chestnut (very high in antioxidants and minerals with a strong flavour), Oak (also known as Honeydew, it maintains and promotes probiotic bacteria with lower levels of glucose) and many more. All of them smelled gorgeous and super sweet. They also do a range of lovely and super nurturing honey soap. Raw honey is different from the honey sold in supermarkets as it is non-pasteurised. It's highly beneficial and is jammed packed full of antioxidants, minerals, vitamin B and C and proteins. 

I did also wonder along the Forever Aloe Vera skin care range. I am always on the lookout for new skin care products, I love trying new things. Aloe Vera is widely known to contain incredibly valuable skin care properties. As I am a sufferer of eczema, I know how beneficial Aloe Vera can be to the skin. However I was informed by a lovely lady (Susan Rodrigues) that it can have wondrous effects internally as well as externally. It can help to balance your immune system, improve your digestion as well as your musculoskeletal system. It's full of vitamins and minerals. 

 Of course I had to indulge my sweet tooth! (duh) The above image of the yummy sweets are  by a company called Zorba Sweets Ltd,and they're based in Westfield, London. These sweets are vegetarian and halal (non-gelatin, Muslim-friendly sweets). It is very rare for me to find sweets that I can actually eat so this was a MASSIVE treat for me. I am a big lover of fizzy cola bottles and any sort of sour sweets, so I made sure to load myself up with a bucket full. They are absolutely delish, so if you are a veggie and if you are ever in Westfield I urge you to pop over to Zorba Sweets.  Pure yum. 
There was also some very scrumptious (and beautiful) cakes (below) by Sweet Crumbz, made by the talented Hafah Adham. Who doesn't love a beautifully decorated cake to tuck into? 
There was a lovely selection of mocktails to choose from by Razzle Dazzle Mocktails. I sipped on a divine drink called the Shirley Temple which included ingredients of ginger ale, lime soda and grenadine topped off with a cherry!  

For beauty, the lovely freelance hair and make-up artist, Shaista who was demonstrating her fabulous make-up and beauty skills. My friend Hera was lucky enough to receive a free make over (which she was super excited about). I really liked the beauty looks created by Shaista. The colours used were really bright and creative and didn't look too heavy. Hera looked stunning - although she was a bit shy and I wasn't able to get a picture of her. If you want to check out Shaista's full portfolio, click here.

Even though I wasn't able to get an image of Hera all dolled up - she was more than happy to share her thoughts about the event as a whole:

"I enjoyed the atmosphere, which was really buzzing and the lovely Lebanese food. I also loved the gorgeous free makeover I received!" .

Many thanks to Pearl Network Events and Hafsah Adham for inviting me, I had an absolutely wonderful time!
