The Posh Staff

If you live in the Cayman Islands or just plan to visit here, you need to have smooth, silky legs for bikinis, short-shorts and barely-there dresses. In Cayman’s sweltering climate, shaving can leave unsightly bumps and other hair removal methods are messy and uncomfortable. It’s better to leave smooth legs to the experts at Posh Spa Lounge, located on Walker’s Road right in the middle of central George Town.

Known all over the Cayman Islands for expert beauty and spa services at affordable prices, Posh Spa has an extremely loyal following of local Cayman execs and glam girls. Stop in any day or evening and you’ll find this cozy spa packed with beautiful women chatting on Blackberrys, getting gorgeous and catching up on the local scoop. Posh does a booming business with visitors as well, since the word is out that vacation pampering does not have to cost a small fortune.

Posh has lots of fun costume jewelry and a full line of skin care products, so there’s a lot to browse through while you are waiting to get even more gorgeous than you already are.

Longtime fans of Posh Spa will be thrilled to know that Miss Priya is back! Priya is the lovely lady pictured in the top left-hand side of the photograph along with Diwa and Rosie. On the bottom row are left-to-right: Nadia and Josie Ann. (Obviously the beautiful ladies who work at Posh use the Posh services: look at their glowing skin!) Clients of Priya can contact Posh to schedule spa services with her immediately.

Chi Ceramic Flat Iron

If you are from the US and are missing your local Sally’s Beauty Supply store, don’t worry, The Cayman Islands has its own rockin’ beauty supply centre. Beauty Centre & Supply is tucked away in Industrial Park (call for directions: 345-945-7698, it’s not hard to locate) and it’s well worth the effort of finding it. You’ll find a wide array of items such as a shampoo, conditioner, hair color, deep conditioning treatments, styling tools, hair accessories and clips, nail polish, spa and body products, bulk salon supplies, and skin care products.

I purchased the best selling Chi ceramic flat iron. A top stylist in Grand Cayman referred me to the Beauty Centre and recommended the Chi flat iron, along with tips about home use from this web site:

The Book Loft

Need some inspiration for slimming down this year? Get in on the best-kept secret in Grand Cayman: The Book Loft at The Cayman Islands Humane Society on North Sound Road. There are a ton of almost-new books to jump start your healthy lifestyle: books on diets, weight training, fitness and self-help. The super-friendly volunteer staff has even set up a diet and exercise display table with loads of books to get you motivated. All the classics are there, including hardback books like The South Beach Diet cookbooks, The Atkins Diet, Body For Life, The Suzanne Somers books, and The Zone. And each book costs about as much as a fancy cappuccino drink!

The Book Loft is fascinating place to get lost in, and is packed with books on every subject. The cozy little store is well organized and the books are an absolute steal! Books are priced to sell, most under $5.00! If you hunt around, you can find very recent New York Times bestsellers for a fraction of the original price. I found a whole stack of almost-new books today with the Borders bookmarks still in them! Cayman residents are a well-read bunch; and folks cheerfully bring in books by the dozens, each and every day.

In addition to a vast selection of fiction and non-fiction, there is a terrific children’s section (including games), CDs, DVDs, textbooks and loads of international magazines.

Stock up on some quality reading materials and help out a shelter pet today. All proceeds benefit the too-wonderful-for-words Cayman Islands Humane Society. If there is any room in your heart for a new companion this year, visit the shelter downstairs and meet some of the wonderful cats and dogs looking for a new home. Warning…the dogs and cats are adorable and most are extra friendly! Say hello to Miss Sugar, the tireless director of the shelter who is the guardian angel of stray pets in Cayman. If you can’t adopt a pet, consider being a foster home provider or even walking the dogs Monday-Saturday at 9:00 AM.

Every little bit helps, so please visit The Book Loft soon and stock up on some inspiring books for 2009.
