Author of the Week: Kate Griffin: Kitty Peck and the Daughter of Sorrow with Donna Freed The third of four in the Kitty Peck Mysteries finds our plucky heroine (a la Vanity Fair's Becky Sharp from the gutter) in charge of the Paradise empire of music halls and various other criminal enterprises inherited from Lady Ginger. She has inherited various people and bad habits from Lady Ginger along with the empire as well as some serious dangerous connections.... a boisterous adventure through the squalid glamour of Victorian London that stands alone but makes you want to read the series from the beginning while you wait for number 4. https://www.faber.co.uk/author/kate-griffin/ @KateAGriffin #Writer #Literary #Novel

The latest trend in travel is therapy holidays. A step more than a yoga retreat or hotel with a gym and massage therapist, therapy travel has emerged as a response to an emotional tsunami of anxiety caused and compounded by everything from global – brexit-trump-korea as well as personal - financial, relationship, age, health, empty nester related issues. The key to finding the best options is to do due diligence on the instructors and therapists. Follow them and then choose the destination. The destination adds diversion, sunshine and sea but the location is there to enhance the experience of the therapy rather than the other way round. So google the name of the instructor or therapist before you book the holiday. And find out what you need – try it out before you go. Not all therapists are the same even if they practice the same therapy. The same goes with counselling. So just because it didn’t work with one therapist doesn’t mean the therapy itself, doesn’t work. And vice versa. Just becau

Gorgeous Wellbeing: Isabel Losada's Sensation: Adventures in Sex, Love and Laughter The Year of Living Pleasurably! Isabel Losada has been writing about the pursuit of happiness for 10 years but only now has she plucked up the courage to explore sex. Somehow in all this talk about mind, body and spirit we have forgotten that the body is designed for pleasure, a restorative source of joy. And so - with the enthusiastic and full support of her partner - she embarked on a year long investigation into sexuality. She tried all sorts of things: yoni massage, OMing, breath orgasms, etc. so that you don't have to! Have a listen, have a read and see what's right for you. What Isabel does emphasise, however, is that it is vital (along with a strong pelvic floor) to PRIORITISE PLEASURE! www.isabellosada.com @isabeljmlosada #Wellbeing #SENSATION
