Chill at home

With Christmas just around the corner, it's that "The year is almost over and what have I accomplished?" depression. Happy thoughts, I know.

Now, I don't have a cure to rid stress (besides booze and bon bons) but if you want to help manage those two am panic attacks, dstress direct may be your new best friend.

dstress direct is a salon that comes to you. Forget schlepping it after work or waking up early on the weekends, dstress sends a top tiered therapist to your very own home or hotel room.

The treatments here are luxe and targeted. Highlights include the Cowgirl/ boy facial (products from a garden in Somerset, facial from Babington House and Soho House NYC), deep tissue massages, a smorgasbord of waxing options, personal trainers, dtox and pregnancy packs, and my favourite, the Bad Day Treatment, which includes a Shiatsu and Therapeutic massage.
