I think pampering yourself is something everyone needs to do. Whether it’s getting your hair cut or coloured or having a massage, it’s all about a little YOU time and sometimes, I don’t think I do it enough.

A month before I took part in the London Marathon, Amy and I were invited to the So Me Beauty salon in Clapham Junction for a manicure and pedicure. As I do neglect my nails a lot, this trip was well needed and timed perfectly.

Once we arrived and were served a delicious drink, we sat in the comfy seats they have in store and was prepped for our pedicures. My toenails had taken a battering from marathon training so having them reshaped and the hard skin taken off my feet was a joy! It was great having an exfoliate on my feet and ankles too and I choose a cute neon colour which made my toes look super summery.

When our tootsies were finished, we headed to the main store area for our manicure. I decided to continue the neon pink theme with gels and a good tidy up. I do enjoy having a good manicure and by the time my nails were all finished, I was super duper relaxed.

So Me has 3 beauty and wellbeing salons in London, two in Clapham(Junction and North) and Colliers Wood. Even if there isn’t one near you, with excellent customer service and friendly staff, it’s well worth the trip to get some much needed TLC. I can’t recommend them enough.
