SURI’s innovation lies in creating a product that not only provides a superior brushing experience but is also recyclable, durable, and an attractive addition to any bathroom. The brand has now established itself as a cutting-edge oral care brand so The Sybarite was excited to sit down with co-founder, Mark Rushmore, to find out more.

Opulent Luxury At The Guerlain Spa, Raffles London
Set in the grandiose building that was once Churchill’s Old War Office, The Guerlain Spa at Raffles London, offers a luxurious and serene experience, blending modern wellness with a touch of historic elegance. This is Raffles’ first opening in London and as soon as I arrived I was greeted with exceptional service. The entrance to the hotel is stunning, the large sweeping staircases draw your eyes inwards, framed by an impressive fresh flower display. The doorman personally took me down to the spa, where I was greeted with a warm smile and a very incredible reception area, which included a huge backlit ‘Guerlain’ sign bathed in gold. While I waited for a friend to arrive, I was served a refreshing herbal tea, alongside a cold towel bathed in a Guerlain perfume, and my shoes were swapped with soft white fluffy slippers. Don’t forget to look up, where you will find a gorgeous ceiling, featuring carved butterflies and delicate flowers. There is also a back-lit wall holding 16 bottles of Guerlain perfumes to test. Once my friend arrived we were shown to the spa and there really is a wow factor when you see the pool for the first time.

Few things are as inevitable as the mid-year slump, but finding effective ways to combat it proves more and more challenging. Enter Grey Wolfe; the private wellness club based in the West London village of Barnes. Nestled on a charming, leafy street, the space counts bustling cafes and upscale hair salons as neighbours. Stepping inside, the energy shift is palpable. Warm lighting and grey marble countertops are all part of the venues' sleek aesthetic, but there’s more than meets the eye here. Within its walls, the club houses cutting-edge equipment and treatments designed to revitalise and rejuvenate from the inside out and outside in. As I look around somewhat awestruck, Grey Wolfe’s General Manager, Carlos Urrutigoity tells me that the space is my house, and I should treat it as such. As part of the members-only appeal, the entire space belongs to the whoever has booked it, guaranteeing a level of privacy other clinics can't offer. Giddy with the realisation that the space is all mine for the next few hours, I take a breath and surrender to the experience.

The Best In-Clinic Treatments For Beating The Bloat
Finding relief from bloating doesn't have to be a daunting task. Drawing inspiration from the holistic approach to health and wellness offered by Buxton Crescent Health Spa, coupled with complementary therapies available in London, I embarked on a journey to beat my bloat and rejuvenate my body from within. Liberty Mills, a leading expert in nutrition coaching, emphasises the importance of acknowledging the gut's pivotal role in overall well-being. She highlights the significance of the gut as the "Second Brain" and suggests monitoring its health through subtle indicators like the condition of the tongue. Mills advocates a functional medicine approach, outlining a four-step process: removal, replacement, replenishment, and restoration. This methodology involves eliminating irritants from the diet, incorporating pre and probiotic foods, replenishing the gut with essential supplements, and optimising gut health with antioxidants like Glutathione. Below, discover the best clinics and treatments to aid with bloating.
Women Who Launch: Chanella Buck of ON Beaute
The brainchild of fashion and beauty veteran Chanella Buck, who has the likes of LVMH and Estee Lauder on her resumé, ON Beaute provides independent beauty reviews from the world’s top beauty editors, makeup artists, and dermatologists, and is free of sponsored content or ads. “Customers gravitate towards ON Beaute for its unparalleled commitment to authenticity and its unique approach to beauty reviews,” says Chanella. “Unlike other platforms, ON Beaute prioritises genuine, unfiltered feedback, ensuring every review is both reliable and fair, making it a trusted source for beauty enthusiasts seeking honest guidance.” Chanella and her team saw an opportunity in the fact that 94% of consumers spend at least an hour researching online before making a beauty purchase. ON Beaute uses a mix of AI analysis and scores sent in by their team of experts to rate cult brands such as Charlotte Tilbury, La Mer, and Medik8. Aside from being a full-time founder, Chanella is passionate about keeping her professional and personal lives balanced. “As a mother to two daughters, my focus is to ensure I am nurturing a healthy self-image,” she says. “This includes encouraging my children, particularly my eldest, aged six, to embrace their natural beauty and understand that flaws are an intrinsic part of who we are. Makeup and skincare, in our discussions, are framed as tools to enhance one's beauty, not mask it. By doing so, I hope to instill a sense of confidence and self-acceptance, teaching them beauty is not just about appearance, but feeling comfortable in one's own skin.” In this edition of Women Who Launch, The Sybarite speaks with Chanella on what a typical day in her life looks like and her most recent beauty discovery.
