JAMAICA HOLIDAY. PLACE TO STAY
The thing about being in the Caribbean is when you are there staying inside is not an option.
The beaches, sight seeing, boat rides, rum bars, restaurants and markets are fantastic!
We are so exciting to offer an alternative to staying in a hotel, you can experience Jamaica like a local.
You will be in a family home, your space is a self contained studio flat. You have your own front door, bathroom and a kitchenette area for your refreshments.
We proudly offer you a place to sleep after you've been out most of the day. There is so much to see and do in the Caribbean, but when it's time to sleep you want to know that you are safe and your not paying a mortgage to lay your head for a night. CLICK HERE TO HAVE A LOOK

This is a great looking shop in a convenient location.
The nail bar was buzzing and the staff are welcoming.
I popped in for a manicure and of course the receptionist did her best to fit the treatment in. The nail technicians were busy so I was passed on to a hairdresser. Nothing wrong with that, business is business and most therapist are multi-talented.
My therapist was doing a lip wax when I arrived. The reason why I noticed her is because there was a man speaking to her while she did the treatment which I thought was odd.
Most women will not admit that they have hair on their upper lip and here is a man talking to the therapist while she is carrying out the treatment. In my view he had no consideration for the client or respect for the professionalism of the therapist who needed to concentrate treatment and client.
And then from that client she was shuffled over to me for my natural nail manicure. The other therapist and receptionist had not set up a work area or put out the resources that were needed. So she rushed around to find what was needed for my treatment and then totally frazzled she sat me down at a hair station.
My therapist name is Asu she has technique with the manicure tools that I would never of considered. These techniques were effective and well instigated. They say we learn something new every day, but after 40 years in the beauty business she impressed me and I definitely learned new uses for cuticle clippers and curved nail scissors that I will be sharing with my Level 3 Nail Enhancement Technology students.
My disappointment was not so much in the varnish application but the fact that no Base or Top Coat was used which is my worst nightmare. This is one of the things that separate the professionals from the others. The whole point of going to the salon is to get a professional finish. The end result looked like I had slapped on a layer of colour...
Such is life £'s wasted on what could have been a great experience.
This shop has great potential if the management stop blaming, making excuses and work on solutions.
The solution from an outsiders view is that therapist need support instead of trying to squeeze the juice of their experience so that you can earn a extra £ set up work areas with the resources they need for the next client and you'll get more out of them and less complaints from clients.

EXAM INVIGILATOR - ANOTHER HAT
Toilet breaks are only allowed after the first half hour and not in the last half hour of an exam. So why so many request in a one hour exam!?!
The amount of students entering and laying their head on the table after writing their name and candidate number on the exam paper is amazing.

ANOTHER AREA TO BEAUTIFY
I recently read an article entitled 'Hair? Nails, Vagina?' It stated '...the beauty industry has its grip firmly on your neither regions, but are such treatments necessary...?'
Well I am part of the beauty industry and the most I have done to the neither region is remove the hair!
I have to confess I have encouraged clients to have their pubic area shaped into a heart. And I have been commissioned to bleach and tint pubic hairs so that he thinks his partner is a natural blond - who am I to ask why!?!
Vaginal beauty treatments are becoming more popular. You can get a vaginal facial called a 'vajacial'. There are specially designed lipsticks - yes for your vaginal lips making them look pinker and healthier. You can go further and get a nip-tuck. There are specialist cleansers, wipes, vitamins and moisturisers designed just for your vagina. There is even virginal steam cleaning which claims to have healing properties.
You can now get a labiaplasty operation so that your vagina looks like a barbie doll.
Making our pussies pretty is the new 'thing-to-do'.
They say never say never, but I cannot see myself offering these services in the near future. For those that are interested I am still looking forward to doing the Tiffany box which is the pubic hairs shaped into a square, bleached and tinted green. What more could a girl want?

BATH. SUMMERSET
Hot water springs at Bath, Summerset. If you get a chance you should visit.
In my ignorance I thought a natural hot water spring would be okay to swim in, [like the one we have in Jamaica 'Roaring river'] but there were signs everywhere not to 'even' put our hand in!?!!
There is a spa near by that uses water from the spring. The thought that it has been filtered and treated makes me feel it's no different than swimming pool water. I'm probably wrong but it didn't appeal to me.
Meanwhile the Roman Baths, history and museum was excellent.
