Back To London in The Eurostar Standard Premier

I tested the Eurostar Standard Premier Class

Yep I’m back to the real things, back to the blog, I’ve missed you! Fashion weeks go by and I’ve been back and forth: no time to post. But let’s start with a nice surprise I had for my last round trip to London. I tested the Eurostar Standard Premier Class. It’s always nice to travel with a heavy camera equipment in a more comfortable class than the Standard one.

Arrived at the station 30 minutes before – I was panic cause I forgot to print my tickets (!), I passed the check in and customs and I directly went to the train: no waiting! The cabin seemed smaller and more airy than in Standard: finally I have space for my legs! Great choice of magazines: Wallpaper, Condé Nast Traveller, Jalouse … which is something to keep busy my hyperactive person  for a good part of the journey. Followed by a snack (attentive service) and already the Channel Tunnel!

The trip lasted 2 hours, the time of a traffic jam during peak hours (LOL!). Arrived in London St Pancras “fresh as a roach” (French way to say super fresh), I go to recharge my Oyster card (which is the London transportation card). I am now in less than 10 minutes on the Piccadilly Line, 4 stops from my hotel, SO great!

The good tip for anyone who travels two and more: Eurostar Plus. Upon presentation of the Eurostar ticket, you can receive 2 tickets for the price of one in eight of the largest museums in London. Interesting: many exhibitions in spring, like the Roy Lichtenstein retrospective at the Tate and the Bowie resptrospective at the Victoria & Albert Museum (“Fa-fa-fa-fashion! Beep-Beep”).

I Tested The Slimming Massage of Martine de Richeville

Last year reading a slimming article (oops!), I discovered the method of Martine de Richeville that sculpts the body by working on the fatty tissue. I was quite intrigued. And whenI was offered to experience a massage by Martine Richeville itself two days ago: I said ok without really knowing what  expecting. A journalist warned me that it would be “a little” painful (LOL)! Never mind, I’m addicted to Thai and Chinese massages, which are absolutely not pleasant!                  

 When I arrive, a huge red sumo welcomes me, the perfect metaphor for the perception I have of my body now (Ok I’m over exaggerating!). The session begins with a vigorous belly massage (deep kneading and pinching). Very painful! The work on certain organs makes me sweat in less than 5 minutes! As a consolation, I focus on the Louboutin shoes of my therapist, a really chic massage! But that does not detract from the fact the massage is painful. Gradually the pain subsides. The outside of the arms received the same treatment. After being on the back, it was the turn of each side, then the back and the neck. The whole body.                          

Martine Richeville explains that this work on the fatty tissue she’s practiced for 15 years, allows to empty toxins and sculpt the body as the “dough”. Suddently I have a flash: the sumo dude’s belly at the entrance (LOL)! On leaving I feel slightly euphoric, completely soft and relaxed, with the huge desire to  sleep ( good point). Two days later, I still have some body parts that hurt a bit, as after the first sessions of resumption of sport. Not really aches, rather the awakening of some muscles that I never work! Even if I do not see any change on my silhouette in a session, I feel that my body is released and “unlocked” and I have less appetite. Such an interesting experience!
