Whether it’s for a special occasion or you just want to look your finest for the Christmas festive party season, the MarocMaroc Radiance Facial is an experience in itself that I’m still basking in the glory of since I had one last week.…

Christmas 2015 from Space NK
Last week I popped along to Space NK’s Christmas 2015 preview to see what they have in store for the upcoming festive season. Although I hate the fact this year is flying past, the line-up is worth getting excited over and I have had to make a wish-list for myself. I always believe that the best gifts…

Rituals’ Hammam collection
I like Rituals. I especially like the last two collections, the Laughing Buddha and Indian Summer, but I think this time Rituals has outdone itself with a makeover of their Hammam collection*. I’m not familiar with the original but the new collection is nothing short of divine and it’s right up my street as I…

I’m quite ashamed to say that I haven’t managed to contribute anything to Just Nice Things for quite some time now. I hadn’t forgotten about the blog,…

I had made a pact that I wouldn’t leave Marrakech without having a hammam. You may know I tried one at Casa Spa in London earlier this year (and loved it) so a truly authentic one in the heart of this bustling city was destined to be the highlight of my trip. There are hammams…

Casa Spa
I’m going to put my neck on the line here – nothing, absolutely nothing can beat a traditional hammam. I’ve had body scrubs and massages in 5 star hotels and lazed about all day in luxurious spa resorts but not one of them comes within an inch of a hammam. Centuries old, thank heavens the…
