When we were invited to Champneys day spa in Royal Tunbridge Wells for a good wrapping we didn’t really know what to expect.  But I was smiling 2 hours later and feeling much lighter and brighter after my Tibby Oliver Shrinking Violet wrap. I arrived at the lovely high street Champney’s day spa and walked into a welcoming shop area and smiling faces behind the counter.  I was asked to take a seat and they then called my therapist who was a beautiful young woman called Amy, smartly dressed in branded Champneys uniform. The treatment is called the Champneys Body...

Okay be honest with me, if you could loose a few inches by slathering yourself in oil and putting on a rather interesting looking silver suit, would you do it?

Just over a month ago, I was sent the Get Shrinking, Shrinking Violet pack to test out. This pack retails at £129 and is available to purchase here. It’s expensive. £129 is a third of the money I budget myself for a month so picking one of these kits up is not something I’m likely to do unless I know it works!! In the pack is your shrink outfit which is a long sleeved top and trouser set made from a thick plastic material.Also in the box is 200ml of the shrinking oil, a tape measure, measuring cup, measurement log...
