BALI HEALTH LOUNGE REJUVENATION PODS: The launch of the UK’s first rejuvenation pods took place at the Bali Health Lounge in Manchester last week. The three-floor, vast spa oasis in George Street launched 12 of the pods with a VIP party. Each pod is separated by fibre-optic lighting soft screen which release lavender scents while customers take seat. A stress-busting session in the pods cost £10 for a 30 minute session or £15 for 60 minutes.

In addition, the health lounge’s masseuses can provide additional one-on-one treatments whilst customers are in the massage chair, including scalp, foot and hand ritual treatments starting from an £20.

Owner Jonathan Pitayanukul said: “The rejuvenation pods are unique and we created them so even the busiest person can take a back seat once in a while.” Opened just six months ago, Bali Heath Lounge is an astonishing space and completely unique in the city centre.

MANCHESTER CRAFT AND DESIGN CENTRE EXHIBITION: Crafting History is now open at the Manchester Craft and Design Centre.

SOMEONE ELSE’S WARDROBE LAUNCH: This new style website offers the chance for customers to buy and sell barely worn clothes for affordable prices with no insertion fees.

The brain child of Manchester-born Jacqueline Cohen, the site aims to give women who love to shop ‘an online space to switch outfits as well as keeping up to date with the latest style news and trends.’

Jacqueline Cohen said: “There are lots of sites which sell second hand clothes, but this site is about selling clothes you’ve bought on impulse and either barley worn, worn once, or not at all.  It gives women the chance to sell these clothes at an appropriate price whilst also being able to buy something from someone else’s wardrobe that they might like better.  It’s the perfect indulgence for anyone who wants to keep on trend whilst also nurturing the purse strings.”
