Cat’s Style Talk: Get the vbeauté treatment!

Posted by on 3/20/13 at 9:47 am

cat2013

I’m often asked my secret to young looking skin. A lot of it comes down to great genetics          (thanks Mom and Dad) and a youthful attitude to life but the rest I owe to fastidious skin care. One of my favorite past times is to discover new beauty treatments and facials that help prevent aging and fix sun damaged skin, then share the information I gather with the good readers of Celebzter.com

Having spent a rather stressful five weeks in a freezing London town opening my Art gallery and launching my spring collection of silk scarves (you will read about it here soon) I was so happy to be invited to attend the launch of the vbeauté treatment by Gina Mari, on returning to LA.

I visited her beautiful Beverly Hills office and met with Gina, and the brains behind the vbeauté range of products Julie Macklowe, who explained how the vbeauté treatment came about. Before the age of 30, Julie Macklowe managed a multi-million dollar hedge fund, was a fashion socialite, a mom, achieved “It Girl” status, and lived an on-the-go lifestyle. After years of searching for skincare products that could make a difference, meet her daily multitasking needs, be luxurious, sensual, yet results-driven, she realized nothing like that existed and began her journey to re-invent serious skincare for the modern woman.  The result being a combination of age-altering ingredients, serious skin treatments and innovative technology that works on a cellular level especially when combined with the talents of Gina Mari, who is recognized as an elite expert with a unique approach to skincare renewal. Praised for giving clients a flawless, radiant, no make-up look, she provides individual programs designed for long-term skin maintenance and a lifestyle of healthy skin preservation with a refreshing and revolutionary approach to skincare in Beverly Hills, CA.

The vbeauté products come in a well thought out, oval shaped case that fits easily into your carry on, with the products all within flight regulation size, so they don’t raise alarms through the x ray machines.

Complimenting each other, the creams and serums are all individually replaceable so there is no wasted product or money from your purse!

Undercover Agent:

Undercover Agent® Anti-Wrinkle Protecting Serum is a power-plant cocktail of bio-botanical age-delay properties, that helps the skin repair itself from the inside out. Undercover Agent® is an intensive serum bringing together Alpine Rose Botanical Technology and BioCellular Peptide as an antidote for age signs. Oil free.

Eye Never:

Eye Never® Nourishing Repair Eye Crème is like an eyelift in a jar. An age-defying, line-concealing eye cream that immediately smoothes and silkens the delicate skin around your eyes. Caffeine minimizes the appearance of puffiness, BioCellular Peptide and Sensytens correct lines and wrinkles, and Nylon 12 leaves you looking instantly younger.

Buying Time:

Buying Time® Everyday Crème is twice as nice as any daily moisturizer you’ve ever encountered. It watches over your skin both day and night with powerful replenishing ingredients, including Alpine Rose Botanical Technology, BioCellular Peptide and Ceramide 2 and 3. Think of Buying Time® as your round the clock way of putting time in your hands.

The creams are really rich and a little goes a long way making them great value for money. I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed my much-needed pampering. My skin had started to go what I call ‘London grey’ and I suddenly looked fresh and glowing. I was so impressed with vbeauté treatment that I am booking in for a full length facial and I suggest you do to!

Cat’s Style Talk: Chic bags that will unleash the equestrians in you

Posted by on 1/22/13 at 10:29 am

 

cat2013

Cindy Gellerson, designer of BAGSTIL handbags is one of my favorite LA based handbag designers. She recently launched a new collection, B.I.T.S, inspired by and for stylish equestrians. As I consider myself exactly this I was very excited to learn more about the line and how it developed. 

B.I.T.S (Back In The Saddle) was inspired by Cindy’s love of horses, and came to mind following a serious riding accident she had in 2012, whilst she was bed ridden with a broken pelvis.  Rather than lamenting the situation she was determined to get back in the saddle as soon as possible and what better inspiration than to design a range of luxury riding accessories that encompass quality, style and practicality.

When riding in the summer I always have the problem of where to put my phone. The pockets inside my jodhpurs are too small and it’s far too hot to wear a jacket. I tried wearing a rather ugly blue bum bag that bounced around too much when cantering, eventually ending up stuffing it in my riding half chaps where it got stuck when I needed it and ended up falling on the ground and breaking!

0003Cl

B.I.T.S seems to answer my prayers as the range of small leather pouches in girly colors as well as natural brown that are designed to hold phone, keys and hoof pick only, and are either on a leather clip style belt or can be attached to your jeans belt, or saddle itself should you be more of a cowgirl. There are also genius variations for holding small water bottles and a larger saddlebag that holds packed lunch and drinks (wine bottle friendly) that can be attached to the saddle and then later be used as a handbag when the shoulder strap is attached. With price points ranging from $45- 280 for bags and accessories, B.I.T.S fuses horses and fashion (my two favorite things) and adds her German practicality to the equation making  a line  that can be worn riding or everyday as a stylish, handy affordable accessory.

Cindy also makes bespoke leather chaps for the serious girls/boys out there starting at $550.

Cat’s Tips: How to create a positive mindset for the New Year

Posted by on 1/10/13 at 11:21 am

 

cat2013

Happy New Year! And what better way than to start the New Year than with the resolution to be positive and thankful for everything I have.

Every New Years Eve my husband and I do a ritual in which we let go of all the negative things and beliefs we have created that year before writing what we want to achieve in the New Year, thus creating a positive mindset.

Buddha said: We are what we think. All that arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make our world.

I thought what better way to start the New Year than by sharing this simple ritual with you. It’s still early enough in the year to do this and this can be practiced throughout the year whenever there is a New Moon.

First we need to LET GO of the old years unfinished and negative business. Release any guilt, feelings of limitation, sadness, unworthiness, depression, anger, unhealthy relationships, resentment, everything that didn’t work in 2012 and anything before this.

Write down on small slips of paper what you’d like to forget. Drop them in a black envelope or make an envelope out of black paper. This is sealing in the sorrow and hard luck. Say “Good Riddance” and toss it in the fireplace or burn it SAFELY in a metal or stone pot. Then (this is the best bit) toast and honor the old year with a farewell toast!

To call in the positive energy, next take a journal or notepad (something you can use solely for this and keep) and make a list of everything you want to enter into your life.

 Take time to think about this first. Think about what you wish to do/ accomplish career wise, how you wish to grow, blocks or character defects you wish to change, what you’d like to attain, happen in friendships and love, problems you ‘d like to see resolved etc.

Write all these intentions in an affirmative way, for example; “ I am continuing to travel this year”, “I am financially free”, “ I am happy and healthy”, “ I am living in a beautiful house”. DO NOT write “ I’m out of debt”, “ I’ll try and read more books” , “ I’m going to do better at school” etc. IT’S MOST IMPORTANT TO WRITE AS IF YOU ARE ALREADY LIVING THE LIFE YOU WISH FOR.

Then have another toast to the positive New Year and start believing in what you have written.

A quick note, do be realistic in what you want to achieve. I f you ask for wanting healthy love but stay in an unhealthy situation knowingly then you are staying in denial.

If you are interested in reading more about positive affirmation I highly recommend The Magic by Rhonda Byrne, creator of The Secret. I’m reading this at the moment and am really feeling the benefits. Oh and one more thing for the skeptical among you.  I was offered everything I wrote down on my list in January 2012 during last year. Some things worked better than others but they ALL materialized!

Keep the faith.

Cat’s Style Talk: London stars gather for Amy Winehouse Foundation

Posted by on 11/23/12 at 9:17 am

 

Myself and Mitch Winehouse

 The Amy Winehouse Foundation Ball was held on Tuesday night at London’s Dorchester hotel and the stars joined her family in raising money and awareness for the charity set up following her tragic death. Myself and Bespoke HQ tailor, Stephen Williams, were kindly invited by Amy’s Father Mitch Winehouse, whom Stephen had made a Bespoke dinner suit for, and boy did he look suave.

A nervous Kiera Chaplin was introduced as the world ambassador to the foundation,a perfect fusion for the families as Charlie Chaplin was one Amy’s favorite entertainers and there were moving speeches made by Mitch and the family who told us stories about Amy’s kindness and selfless dedication to helping others, forming the inspiration for the work the charity does.

Amazing cake for Amy

After a delicious 3 course dinner and many glasses of wine the auction began with some amazing lots. Top of my pick was Amy’s yellow dress that was made by Arrogant Cat to wear for her performance at Rock in Rio, held in Madrid, Spain in 2008. Unfortunately for me the waist was only 24 inches, but it was bought by an unnamed bidder in the states for $20,000 before it was kindly given back to the charity to be re sold to the next bidder down, doubling its worth! Ronnie wood made a guest appearance bringing a signed black Gibson guitar of his own to be auctioned. My hand did shoot up as I opened the bidding at two thousand pounds as I thought it might be a nice Xmas present for the hubbie but I was quickly outbid with the guitar finally going for ten thousand pounds to a very happy gent who probably can’t play it! (Sorry Matt, if it was Keith’s I may have kept going!) Stephen and I also bid on the silent auction when we discovered the company card in his pocket. We decided a signed England kit would look great on the wall of the Bepoke bar, since Stephen has made suits for the likes of David Beckham and Tottenham hotspurs football team, and placed a bid in the silent auction. It looked like we were going to get it till we were beaten in the last five minutes by someone at our table.

Xfactor Ella performs at the event

With fantastic musical tributes from the soul star Micha Parish, UK X-factor contestant Ella, Amy’s ex Tyler James, the night ended with Matt Goss performing with his Vegas big band as the guests took to the dance floor. A perfect end to what was a very special and fun night. The Amy Winehouse Foundation is one of those rare charities that makes you feel like part of the family not just a fundraiser. I look forward to working with them in the future.

Stephen Williams and myself

Cat’s Style Talk: The luxurious beauty secret from Japan’s hot springs

Posted by on 11/19/12 at 9:37 am

 

I’m not sure quite how it happened, but on the way out of Westfield shopping center over the weekend, I got talked into stopping and testing some beauty products and then, even stranger, into buying them!

The product was Onsen’s Powder and Water TechnologiesTM. Inspired by the nature and function of the micro water molecules found in the Onsen Hot Springs of Japan. Onsen’s Powder Technology uses a fine powder or nutritional booster consisting of high concentration of skin specific nutrients; it emulsifies on contact with skin then gets activated to deliver vitamin and mineral enhanced bio-marine nutritional support formula deep beyond the skin’s surface. It also contains Thalassine, a natural ingredient commonly known as ‘Nature’s alternative to Botox’.

The first product I tried was a body scrub, Crystal clear scrub with sweet macadamia, which I rubbed all over my hands before rinsing with water. When adding the water my hands felt silky smooth and the water was brown with dirt, lovely ! ‘ wow , haven’t you washed for 5 days? ” said my NBF. Probably not the best way to make friends especially as I had a long exfoliating bath the night before, but point made!

Next up was the Shea power body butter to lock in the moisture. Super thick and luxurious it is especially good for healing and conditioning parched, peeling or cracked knees, hands, elbows or feet. I am not joking when I say my hands felt like silk to the touch. Ok ,so I was definitely interested in buying these products though I did find it slightly strange that when I asked the price my NBF went on to show me what was to be my undoing….

Daily choice peel is an incredible exfoliator that uses its water complex to exfoliate dead cells. I applied a thin layer to my skin and left it 15 seconds before starting to massage in a circular motion. As I did I found dead skin cells coming off without scouring my face, like most scrub exfoliators. Glowing , clean skin shone through and my pores looked tighter whilst my skin was soft as a baby’s butt!

SOLD! So how much?…….. $129.99 that’s how much!

Here’s the thing, Onsen products are not cheap! I was tempted to buy the face mask too but without knowing it really really works ( it claims to eradicate all open pores) I cannot justify spending $469.99 on a beauty product. The body scrub and cream are far more affordable if you are wanting to spoil yourself with a luxury product to use once a week, at $39.99 each.

I know there are super rich women who can afford this product but let’s face it most of us can’t. It is AMAZING and I would love to be able to buy the eye creams and potions but they cost more than a facial or even Botox which it claims it can replace, and lets face it Botox works, and lasts for months at a time!

My NBFF deserves a huge bonus, as I did In fact go home with my three products wistfully thinking about the mask.

All I can say is Onsen watch out! I am going to be testing these products over the next few months and if they don’t work…. I will be shouting about it!

Cat’s Style Talk: Celebrating London

Posted by on 10/21/12 at 3:01 pm

I’ve only been back in London for one week and what a week it’s been! Dealing with serious jet lag I was launched back into London night life this week on Monday when I visited the Old Vic Tunnels where Lazarides Gallery, coinciding with Frieze art fair, brought us ” Bedlam”, creatively exploring  the well-intended beginnings of  ‘Bethlam’ London’s Hospital for the mad. We entered the installation through a pitch black room that altered ones senses and prepared us for the damp dripping walls and disturbing installations that on closer inspection were beautifully fragile and delicate depicting the state of mind of many asylum patients. Artists such as 3D from Massive Attack played with our mind and vision to bridge the delicate balance between sanity and insanity.

On a more glamorous note Wednesday night was the London Lifestyle Awards 2012 , hosted by capital radio’s DJ  Greg Burns, at the beautiful Hurlingham club. I was happy to accompany my darling ‘big brother’ Mark Fuller to the dinner and award ceremony where his fabulous boutique hotel The Sanctum Soho, won hotel of the year for the third year running. Hot diamonds sponsored the event and kindly gave me a black pearl bracelet to wear, thank you guys!

The deserving winners across all the lifestyle categories were:

Best Green Contribution to London: The Royal Parks

London Fashion Retailer of the Year: Katherine Elizabeth Millinery

London Coffee Shop of the Year: The Haberdashery

Hospitality Business of the Year: Firmdale Hotels

London Cultural Attraction of the Year: Society of London Theatre – Kids Week

London Festival of the Year: E4 Udderbelly

London Fitness Facility of the Year: Pineapple Dance Studios

London Live Music Venue of the Year: Royal Albert Hall

London Theatre Show of the Year: Matilda

London Hairdresser of the Year: Taylor Taylor London

London Restaurant of the Year: Le Caprice

London Concierge Company of the Year: Quintessentially Lifestyle

London Bar of the Year: Salvatore’s at The Playboy Club

London Club of the Year: Mahiki

London Lifestyle Legend: Arlene Phillips

London Personality of the Year: Boris Johnson

London Health and Beauty Facility of the Year: Chuan Spa at The Langham Hotel

Outstanding Contribution to London Lifestyle: London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games

I had a blast catching up with old friends and new friend, Jessica Knowles,  reminiscing about the disgraceful behavior of our youths now  everyone is now a little older, wiser but still every bit as fabulous! We finished the night off back at the Sanctum rooftop bar where I left at the  very reasonable grown up hour of 1am, drank my 2 glasses of water before bed and woke up the next day hangover free and ready for the day ahead.

My next adventure was in a damp underground car park in Soho (apparently  the theme of my week) where the avant garde fashion darlings SORAPOL – Sorapol Chawaphatnakul and creative director Daniel Lismore, held Euphoria, their omage to  fallen bohemian girls such as Edie Sedgewick. The models, wearing  artist Achraf Amiri’s ironically blank paper mache masks,  stumbled, vogued  and blew kisses along a fake cocaine lined catwalk.

Beginning with a panther-headed motorbike revving down the catwalk roaring at the front row fashionistas, followed by stumbling “doll queen” models with the traditional wedding dress finale replace by a twin-bladed guitar dress whilst The Voice’s Vince sang a Rolling Stones number accompanied by distorted electric guitar, this was the perfect underground glamour and even more perfect way to end the week.

Cats Style Talk: Taking London by storm

Posted by on 9/7/12 at 7:40 am

Hello lovely people. I am pleased to be writing again after what seems like an eternity of wearing a splint on my hand following a horse riding accident. During my accidental sabbatical I have been testing the latest brands of make up and beauty potions as well as jetting to London, where I am now, to attend London fashion week and Art week. I’ll be keeping you posted with all the latest glamour from the coolist city in the world.

This week I threw myself back into London social lives attending the Mercy Delta launch party for its latest hand printed scarf collection and debut silkscreen printed blouse collection. There were some beautiful shirts that I may have to order as the price point is so affordable £120-200, which will be initially sold exclusively in Trilogy stores. I ordered the lines most popular ‘Spirit’ scarf, as it is covered in horses and is also pink. My favorite combination! You can checkout the scarves at Harrods, Liberty, Harvey Nichols, Matches and Trilogy.

The next event of the night was Jeans for Genes, hosted by the fabulous Nick Ede at the W hotel. The bar was full with reality stars form The Only way is Essex and Made in Chelsea, with Katie Price plus entourage in tow. I couldn’t help but fantasize about the giant disco ball, that dominates the bar, crashing Indiana Jones style on certain annoying revelers. It would probably be considered a British disaster judging by the reality ruled airwaves! The event was a huge success and created awareness and support for an important cause. Well done Mr Ede and co. Find out how you can be part of Jeans for Genes day at http://www.jeansforgenesday.org

The other hot party of the week was the Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack launch party held on the roof of Shorditch house. Guests had a single handcuff slapped on their wrist to get free food and drinks and, as a string quartet performed the music that inspired the author, masked waiters handed out champagne until the Q&A with author E.L James when the bar was politely closed for the interview. This didn’t go down well with my group of friends, who were far more interested in drinking than listening to the writer divulge her secrets. From what I can gathered its all written from fantasy, which, all seems to make sense, as the whole idea seems to be a toned down version of the book “The Story of O”, Stanley Kubrick’s “Eyes Wide Shut” and erotic 80s mega movie ‘9 ½ weeks’ staring a very young hot Mickey Rourke and Kim Basigner.

It was a great night out and thoroughly enjoyed by all which was proved the following morning when Face Book was covered with messages asking how to remove the handcuff everyone seems to have woken up with. Try explaining that to your child on the school run the following morning!  Luckily, It seems I am an escape artist trés excellent and managed to slip my hand out of the cuff very easily. I guess I’m not the submissive type then.  The soundtrack is available now by EMI on Amazon.com and all other music outlets.

Cats Style Talk: The Movie Colony Hotel, Palm Springs – The rock star hide away!

Posted by on 7/22/12 at 2:03 pm

The hubby and I decided to get out of LA and take a few days R&R to my favorite getaway Palm Springs. Although the temperature was hitting the 100 degree plus mark, we bravely ventured east into the rising heat with the lure of the stunning mountains and the thought of lying by a pool doing nothing but reading books all day in our mind’s eye.

We usually stay with friends out there but I had seen this great offer on Hotels.com for what looked like a stunning boutique getaway called The Movie Colony hotel.

We could not have asked for more!

Our room was a patio room and, like all the rooms at the colony, was beautifully decorated in simple modernist style, cool and airy with stone floors and walls. What really brought a smile to our faces was when we discovered 5.30pm Happy Hour at the outside patio bar was the happiest in town as it was FREE! Not only that, a complimentary continental breakfast was served, buffet style, at the bar every morning form 9.30am which you could either sit at the bar and eat or take back to your own room and have in the privacy of your balcony or patio.

The hotel, I learnt, was actually designed by famous Swiss modernist architect Albert Fey, and was built in 1935 after Fay had moved to the desert. Originally, the San Jacinto Hotel, the Movie Colony was the first modernist building in Palm Springs and shaped the look that was to become the town’s signature style. Originally only three town houses were built with the back buildings of patio and balcony suites, where we stayed, being added in 1945 and pool in 1949. Bungalow 29 still has most of the original features with its fireplace, iron stair handrail, shower, bedroom and closet doors. Its balcony is the only one with Richard Shultz sun beds; unfortunately a gang broke in and stole the rest of them from around the pool!

Over the years the hotel has seen many changes in the original Frey design. In the early 90s, the owners totally gutted the place updating the plumbing and wiring under the supervision of Frey who, still alive, tried to bring things back to the original design.

It seems that the hotel has been Palm Springs best kept secret getaway to hundreds of stars over the years. One of the coolest being Jim Morrison, who whilst high on drugs, dove from his roof terrace of bungalow 29 into the pool. This does explain why on arrival we were greeted by a copycat leap by a rather unattractive aging rocker! And there was I thinking he was just an idiot.

I highly recommend this hotel for a romantic getaway or to simply grab a gang of friends and have a fantastic pool party weekend. It’s discreet, intimate (16 rooms) with super friendly staff and a fabulous relaxed atmosphere that makes you think you are in your own private apartment complex. It’s also walking distance from the main strip where the restaurants and bars are, or you can borrow one of the hotels bicycles if you are brave enough. Even though the temperature was in the triple digits it was bearable around the pool and I am pleased to say I finished my book and got my base tan floating around the pool. I do have an eye on one of the town houses for my next visit, though I’m not too sure I want Jim’s ghost walking through my bedroom…… then again if he’s just wearing his snakeskin pants, maybe I wont mind so much.

Cat’s Style Talk: The Housewives of OC’s dirty little secret!

Posted by on 7/2/12 at 2:49 pm

A few weeks ago my friend let me into the biggest secret that the OC crowd have been keeping from us up here in LA! Instead of taking the drive up to LA to visit, what most consider the capital of cosmetic treatments, they have instead been driving to Irvine to visit the OC’s little hidden gem, Forever ageless Inc. and the house wives of OC secret weapon, “Dr Joe”.

Dr Joe has a reputation of being personable, gentle and not overly pushy, (unlike some doctors that insist on pumping you full of botox and fillers just to make more money) and is called the ‘best Shooter in town‘ by his loyal clients. The coolest part of this “dirty little secret” is that the prices are more than half that of clinics in Los Angeles. As the hubbie was playing a gig nearby, I decided to book an appointment and got dropped off at the private clinic, a gorgeous townhouse discretely tucked away in the heart of Irvines central business district

My skin specialist, the stunning Bronwyn, sat me down in the reclining chair and after thoroughly examining my skin, to determine what treatments would suit me best, we decided on the Pellevé treatment which rebuilds the collagen in the face. As we get older the collagen in our skin stops renewing itself so quickly causing sagging and wrinkles. What Pellevé does is to heat the deep layers in your skin using advanced radio wave technology causing the collagen in the skin to contract and tighten. After the treatment the skin starts to produce new collagen thus firming and improving the skin quality. Bronwyn covered my face in gel and started to heat each area to the required temperature that causes the collagen to be damaged thus the renewal process. I was warned it might be uncomfortable as it can get quite hot, but I actually found it very relaxing, like lying on a beach in the sun. After half my face was treated I looked in the mirror to compare the two sides of my face, and I swear my skin looked plumper and tighter. It really works! no wonder both Cher and Madonna both purchased pellevé machines for their homes.

Many people do see results immediately but it takes approximately six weeks for the collagen to begin to renew itself so you see the best results in three to six months. I was recommended to do at least two more sessions four to six weeks apart to get the result I want. Some people replace having a facial, that only cleans the surface of the face (keeping you looking good for two hours), and instead have a Pellevé treatment every month. Bronwyn is passionate about treatments that really work and show definite results.

“A pellevé treatment trumps a fou fou facial any time. It makes sense considering the price of a treatment is the same as having a facial at an up market spa”, she says confidently.

Forever Ageless also does the newest techniques of fillers, botox, chemical peels and Vi peel (a moderate peel that reverses the effects of sun damage, acne etc. in about one week). They also offer nutrition and weight control, microdermabrasion, photo facial, acne and pigmentation treatments, laser skin resurfacing, body contouring, mesotherapy, and laser hair removal, all at amazing prices.

I absolutely loved my treatment and am looking forward to my next OC visit. I mean $20 in gas or $400 in prices, go figure! I’m sorry but I am blowing the lid on this place, its too good a secret to keep from us LA girls. Dr Joe, you rock!

If you would like to book an appointment of find out more about procedures at Forever Ageless Inc, contact: 949.735.6779, for Dr. Joseph Cerni or 310.800.0013 for Bronwyn Leigh or email Bronwyn@forever-ageless.com

Cat’s Style Talk: Facebook helps raise awareness for an Irish Children’s Hospice

Posted by on 6/12/12 at 6:02 pm

A friend on facebook brought me to the attention of LauraLynn House in southern Ireland. She contacted me in the hope I could help raise awareness for this children’s hospice that receives no funding from the Irish government and relies on kind donations and the help of volunteers. She also introduced me to baby Victoria Thompson, a beautiful little girl who loves pink and has become a beacon of hope and inspiration through her facebook page (written by her Mother) to raise awareness for Laura Lynn house and the children and parents that reside there, safe in the knowledge that their babies are spending their final days in a beautiful, safe, caring facility that is sensitive to such a difficult period of time.

At a time when facebook is receiving growing criticism this is a heart-warming example of how social media can be hugely beneficial to charities and vital causes. Laura Lynn house is even more special in the fact that it was born from the grief of Brendan and Jane McKenna who sadly lost their two daughters within a short period of time at an early age. Having met with the Chairman and CEO of The Children’s Sunshine Home, the LauraLynn Children’s Hospice made the decision to merge in 2006 and opened their doors on Tuesday 27th September 2011.

The hospice is proof that with strength of heart and perseverance, good can come from sorrow.

The home from home atmosphere means parents stay upstairs in a hotel style suite and can phone nurses and carers to check on their child throughout the night. The children’s rooms are bright, spacious and spotless with comfy chairs for the parents to sit for long periods with their child in the daytime. There is a large dayroom where the children are brought to socialize. Music plays continually and an activity board on the wall makes sure that every child is included in the events, regardless of age, illness or ability. Alongside the general day-to-day medical care the children have access to physiotherapists, dieticians, massage therapists, music therapy, and dog therapy.

At the end of a child’s life there is a beautiful place of rest called the Butterfly suite where families have privacy to prepare for the funeral and be alone with their child. Butterflies are place at the door of prominent rooms so as to alert others to be conscious that a family is grieving.
It is these levels of thought and care for every last details that help make LauraLynn house the sanctuary that it is. It is vital to raise awareness through fundraising and donations so that the care that baby Victoria is so lucky to have, continue and help many more families and children in the future.

As Victoria’s Mother says;

“Every parent wants what is best for his or her child. LauraLynn is the best for Victoria, as it will be for many children, for years to come. We hope that any child can have access to the same care. We hope that any family could feel the same peace, in the hell, of loosing a child.”

You can learn more about how you can help donate to LauraLynn house by clicking here.
