We tried Floatation Therapy and here is why we recommend it

Published by

It is hard to get away from the noise in a busy, yet vibrant city like Melbourne. Luckily Melbourne never says no to new and cool innovations. Floatation therapy, the new remedy treatment in town, will remind you that you need to have some me-time in this eventful city. We got a chance to try out what floatation therapy is all about at Rest House Float Centre, located at Hampton East, and we absolutely enjoyed every second of it. Why Floatation Therapy? This relaxing activity will clearly help you reduce stress and anxiety. Not only that, it also can help improve blood circulation, digestion, skin health, accelerate muscle repair, improve sleep patterns, and much more. Our experience at Rest House Float Centre. For this special occasion, we have asked our graphic designer – Ting to attend this sensational experience. Rest House Float Centre mentioned to us that floatation therapy helps with creativity, to help those creatives out there to think outside of the box. Ting described her experience as phenomenal! As a graphic designer, she …

Rest House Floatation Therapy Tips

Published by

Rest House has put together a few helpful tips which you can implement into your daily routine to compliment the steps you’ve already taken towards a better you! Drink a large glass (500ml+) of warm lemon water first thing in the morning (half to whole lemon squeezed). This will hydrate the body, help reduce joint pain, improve digestion, increase liver function, revitalise skin, the list goes on. There are far too many benefits to list them all here but given that more than 70% of our body is made up of water, it truly is an essential element often neglected by many, so drink up! Eat more greens! The human body requires minerals such as Magnesium, Calcium, and Potassium amongst many others in order to function at its optimum. Magnesium alone is responsible for over 300 physiological processes within the body yet a vast majority of people are deficient not only in Magnesium but many other minerals due to our diet and lifestyle. Green vegetables are full of minerals and will help replenish your body’s levels, leaving …

WKM Review: Fully Made Up

Published by

We were recently invited to the fabulous Butterfly Club to check out opening night of Fully Made Up – An Improvised Cabaret, starring multi-award winning comedian Jenny Wynter. Combining cabaret, comedy and improv, this performance brings to life a veteran cabaret starlet, who’s entertaining evening soiree is entirely comprised of stories, songs, memories and monologues – inspired (in true improv style) by the suggestions of the audience. Improv alone is hard enough, but throw in the added challenge of creating an on-the-spot, rhyming, reasonably relevant show tune to random suggestions like ‘squid’, ‘grapes’ and ‘eat the frog’ and you’ve got yourself a pretty darn entertaining premise. Slipping just once, with real class and a super quick redirection, Jenny absolutely nails her latest show in a satin draped display of raw, fabulous singing, silly monologues and general awesomeness. We would have loved a few more songs and less monologue in the first half of the show, as this woman sure can sing, but overall we loved the show, and laughed the whole way through. An enviously …
