Now that the children are (more or less) settled back into school, it’s time to think about you.
We’re talking about wellness, beauty, and reconnecting with friends after a long summer of child-friendly activities. It’s easy to forget how exhausting summer can be for parents, from organising day trips to arranging playdates, ensuring the kids have the best start to the school year. But now, it’s time to reset and take care of yourself.
Here are five steps to help you get back into your wellness routine and enjoy some well-deserved self-care at Christopher Place.
Step 1: Rejuvenate Your Skin with a Collagen Boosting Hydra Facial
Start your wellness journey by returning to your skincare routine, and nothing says “back to me” like a glowing complexion. The award-winning team at AirAesthetics is here to help.
Their collagen-boosting HydraFacial is the ultimate treatment for rejuvenating your skin, leaving you radiant and ready to tackle the changing weather that autumn brings. With expert care and luxurious treatment options, it’s the perfect first step to feeling refreshed and revitalised.
Step 2: Explore L’Occitane’s Skincare and Body Care Range
Once you’ve given your skin a boost at AirAesthetics, head over to L’Occitane to discover their range of facial and body care products. Enjoy a complimentary hand massage to
relieve any lingering tension and give yourself a little moment of calm.
While you’re there, be sure to pick up Immortelle Reset Serum, L’Occitane’s featured product this month, which promises to restore radiance and smooth tired skin.
It’s an easy addition to your skincare routine, especially after a busy summer.
Step 3: Relax with Aromatherapy at Neal’s Yard Remedies
Next, treat yourself to some deep relaxation at Neal’s Yard Remedies. Tucked away in the serene quarters of the store, their treatment rooms are a hidden gem. Book a full-body
aromatherapy massage to relieve stress and soothe aching muscles. The calming atmosphere, combined with the healing properties of aromatherapy, will leave you feeling
completely renewed. It’s a great way to unwind after the busy summer and get back to a routine of regular self-care.
Step 4: Brunch with a Twist at Wagamama
After a morning of pampering, it’s time to refuel. Wagamama has just launched a brand-new brunch menu, and it’s one you won’t want to miss. With dishes like chicken katsu waffles and eggs cooked any way you like, brunch at Wagamama is a delicious way to catch up with friends. Adding a little Japanese zest to your day, this vibrant brunch menu is perfect for taking a break, recharging, and enjoying some tasty comfort food after all that pampering.
Step 5: Get Fit at Fitness First
Once you’ve revitalised your skin and had a relaxing brunch, it’s time to get moving. Fitness First in Christopher Place has undergone a stunning renovation, with ambient lighting that rivals a chic nightclub, creating the perfect atmosphere to get your sweat on. Whether you’re into CrossFit or HIIT, Fitness First offers one of the only registered Hyrox classes in St Albans. It’s a full-body workout that pushes you to your limits with dynamic movements, incredible music, and a sense of accomplishment at the end of every session.
The newly renovated space is designed to motivate and energise, and the team at Fitness First is ready to welcome you.

Bonus Stop: Rose Nails
With your skincare routine back on track, your muscles relaxed, and your fitness goals in motion, it’s time for a final touch of beauty.
