Spring skin....

With the winter months (supposedly) gone spring is soon to be upon us.

Lots of you have been in contact regarding skin care and treatments so we have decided to run a special offer on our CACI  courses which can be found on our Facebook page.

CACI   works in many different ways so the beauty is that it's suitable for most people.

Carly has 9 years experience and has treated many people with various skin concerns. Mainly the ageing process which CACI was originally designed for. recently more clients with congested and acne skin have been in contact with Another Little World

We strongly believe that our modern day life has a large impact on how it effects us, from the pre made meals and chemicals which we inflict into our bodies every day, to the chemicals which are found in our skin care. People are just so unaware of what we are filling our bodies with so how would they know the effects until it is explained?

There are of course conflicts in the news etc so the information that I give you regarding this information is something you chose to make your own judgement on. For us personally, if there is a negative link then why run the risk?

Just a little example:

Parabens - chemical preservatives - links to cancer

sodium lauryl sulfate - garages use this to de-grease car engines 

Please pop these into a search engine to see the various websites these can be found on. 

Carly discovered Angela Langford three years ago for her skin personally after years of trying to keep blemish's and breakouts at bay. Learning about the detrimental effects some of the ingredients can have Carly chose to avoid using them in her personal and professional life. 

Combining CACI and Angela Langford creates perfect partners. 

Angela has had some great interest from the press too.

In safe hands has been named as one of the five best hand creams by the daily mail magazine.

Keep an eye out for our next post regarding Acne treatment.

With love

It's been a while.....

I can't believe where the time goes, it was April when I last posted and I know I had good intentions at the time to write at least once a week. My mind is always full of things, exciting ideas, positive business response and of course much more, so why have I neglected you all? 

Well from a personal point my life has had huge changes that zapped all extra energy that I would of put into extra work time.  Its been a journey, at times bad and other times amazing but we all have to absorb our life lessons and take what we have learnt from our daily living and love life and live for the day. That is so typical to hear I know but at the same time it is very true, we never know when we will live our final day and that's what makes life so precious yet exciting and scary at the same time. 

So back to it....

Another Little World has been fantastic, I am so excited by the support and response we have here. Since last time we have had Tessa Join us, such a beautiful young lady who puts her everything into her work.

 She is with us for three days a week and puts in extra hours when she isn't looking after gorgeous little girl. Tessa has introduced some new treats to ALW such as Essie nail care, Shellac, biosculpture and Minx. Fully qualified in all the therapies that we offer means we have more availability for all treatments. Tessa is a little star at everything and is in high demand for her nail treatments in particular, please give between a week to two weeks notice to avoid disappointment. 

We have been networking with lots of people, its a huge part of having a business and being situated in a small town it's good to bring local business's together. So my good friends who own the fabulous love and wonder in The Quedam invited us to down for an afternoon to offer nail treatments to their customers and general public, we had a huge response and have decided to offer this as a regular visit. If you haven't already take a little trip to say hello to the girls and guys down there and you must try one of their lovingtons ice-creams, their ethos compliments ours perfectly with their natural approach.

Mint Candy Apple by Essie, we had one little fan of this fun colour who impressed us girls lots at Love and Wonder. 

Lots of love, xx 

Parabens and other nasties...

Over 16 months ago I decided to try Organic and chemical free skin care, my reasons for this at the time were vanity.

In the past I have always suffered from a congested skin and as good as I could be with my skin care routine and having facials something wasn't working. I decided that I would give Organic and chemical free skin care a try and go from there, within a week my congestion had gone, my skin was looking radiant and felt and smelt amazing. So many people commented on how good it was looking and nobody knew what my little secret was! Thank goodness for Angela Langford.

I then began to investigate what the differences are between regular products and (skin care, cleaning products, toothpaste etc) chemical free products and the results were scary.

Parabens are preservatives, they are cheap to use and found in most products, we come in contact with them on a daily basis. We of course need to preserve all products that are made but not in a man made way, the natural approach is the safest. There are of course natural ingredients that can be used to preserve products and slowly there are more companies that are doing this.
Now as there always is there are two sides to every 'story' but if there are scientific results stating that there are links to cancer then I know that I don't wish to put those chemicals in my body.

Parabens mimic the hormone estrogen which is known to play a role in breast cancer, through research there have been evidence of parabens found in breast tumorous, they can effect sperm count and can cause ageing and may more studies link to many more situations.

Don't take my word for it, look on the ingredients list of any products you have at home and you will be amazed, it is usually a word and it then ends in 'paraben' eg benzylparaben.


I now use all products that are chemical free and try and spread the word to everyone I know, I even have clients passing on the information to their friends, family member and even strangers in shops!


At Another Little World we use Angela Langford organic skin care in all our treatments, available to buy from us direct.

Terribly Sorry...

Wow, I have been terrible at this blog malarkey!

It was something I wanted to do often, share my stories, my views and of course any help regarding this mind baffling world of beauty that I possibly could. It just hasn't happened as you can obviously tell, but I promise to sit down at the weekend and share all my news. One of the main subjects will be regarding the charity event that myself and Megan organised in January for CoppaFeel. If you haven't yet discovered this amazing charity please go to www.coppafeel.org.

Speak soon, x

A Gloomy Monday Morning...

Good Morning,

After having a very busy weekend I am feeling worn out the sun has disappeared!
I would put it down to the fact I am getting older but I really don't believe that's what it is, I know that I haven't been eating enough fruit and veg or drinking enough water, three very important things that we all need to maintain a healthy and happy lifestyle.
So this morning I have arrived at work with a bag full of fruit to keep me going for the next few days and a lemon for my water which I find helps me to drink it more often and also is great for us too!

One other reason for this health boost is I have a wedding to go to on Saturday and would like to be looking more radiant and my skin to be clearer! I am normally very lucky with this but since hurting my wrist and having to take meds every 3/4 hours it has had a serious impact on my skin so this is a great flush so they can hurry up and get out of my body....please.

I WILL also be on a fitness boost too and will exercise every day to try and tone up a little, I have been saying this for some time now but I will make sure that I do it as I feel so much better once its done.

How do you find your body reacts to your lifestyle?

It's been a while...

Hi everyone,

I am most sure I don't have any followers at the moment but however I apologise for taking such a long time out from my blog.

It has been a crazy busy few months with so much going on and disrupting Another Little World, but hopefully in a funny way it has turned out for the better and much more positive.

I suddenly found out at short notice that I had to leave the premises where I was based due to the guy I was renting from decided to leave very quickly. I thought it through and wanted to make a go of it and turn the building into a well being centre and increase my beauty therapy, the offer got accepted then a few weeks later the landlord pulled out of the sale and I had to suddenly move out as nobody had declared I had ever worked there leaving me and three other therapists wondering what to do and where to go.

I then very luckily heard about a new business opening within 1 minute up the road called The Emporium on a busy road more central in the town centre and lots of little business within this large beautiful Georgian building.

I opened only two weeks ago, meaning I only closed for two weeks so hopefully haven't upset any clients, there is still a little bit of work to do but not too much just mainly making it pretty and adding a few new treatments but this should be complete by the end of the week!

Then two weeks ago I nearly broke my wrist from slipping on a magazine which only now I have the use of but not for lifting or for applying pressure with and can hardly drive but I am so lucky that I haven't broken it.

I have more time now to keep you updated which I will try to do more then I have been.

So if you are reading this thank you for understanding as its been a crazy busy and slightly stressful few months but I can see the future is a lot more positive and I am really looking forward to the times ahead at The Emporium,

With Love

What a Wonderful Weekend

I know this is called a wonderful weekend but I am sneaking Thursday into this too, cheeky I know.

So Thursday evening I had been invited to a pampered chef party (http://www.pamperedchef.com/), I was a little worried as if you have the 'wrong consultant' or even a bad group of people it can be a bad experience. It was my first ever party and I had a great giggle! The host chose two dishes one being an apple, almond and camembert dish served with raw vegetables and bread sticks to dip in which was amazing, so quick and easy too! The second being a summer fruit trifle with a twist called lime berry mousse trifle (  http://www.pamperedchef.com/recipe_search/recipe.jsp?id=72101) again, this was so good, a little more time consuming but can prep everything before!

Have you ever been to one of these before? What did you think?

After a great evening I headed home and felt rubbish, this I blame the host for! Her house is always spotless, no dust, no mess just a stunning home! So I decided that our house had to be sorted asap!

Friday evening Dan had a gig which I would usually support them and go along but I stayed home and concentrated on the house, this has continued across the weekend.

Saturday morning Dan and I went into town for a iced latte and iced chocolate milkshake then headed off for a family visit during the day then returned for a lovely evening in, just the two of us.

This morning I woke up after Dan returned from walking our beautiful Doberman, and he had kindly gone out and bought the paper for me, I have a slight obsession with the 'YOU' magazine. We then went into town to do some bargin shopping in Wilkinsons for the house and then noticed there was a carboot sale!!
On the way home we ventured to get some further bargins and picked up some great things which we are very happy with (I will post these during the week) once we were home I then sampled our new paint in the spare bedroom, which by the way is the perfect shade of grey!

Dan has been really lovely recently but this weekend has been perfect! Lots of little thoughtful gestures and coming along to the carboot etc, I have always been lucky but realising it more this weekend!

Have you been up to lots of lovely things this weekend?
