"Welcome and thank you for taking the time to visit our website. We really appreciate this opportunity to introduce you to our Spa and Services and trust that you will enjoy your time spent with us. Not only will you leave knowing more about taking care of your skin and body, but you will leave here feeling relaxed and renewed, ready to face the world."



The above is the intro to Face West aesthetiques new website promoting its 'exclusive' spa service. Located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, the company has been around for the last 23years offering 'by appointment' only service and beauty therapy treatments.



Why the mention here? Well this is simple really. We really appreciated the service and dedication of the owner of the Spa, and being that the owner was as well from the Seychelles, how could we not make a mention?

On July 1st 2010 we released to all our clients and contacts, and then made a posting here on this blog, 5th July 2010, that we had entered into a joint project, and that was private label spa products.



Karen's business is spa and beauty therapy and we know that with her eye on the ball so to speak, the approach we are taking together with the launch of our new private label spa products will be well appreciated.

Stay tuned for further updates!In the meantime we invite you to take a visit of the website @ www.facewestskincare.com. Tell a friend!

Seychelles' Miss Regatta!




The 2010 Regatta beauty pageant will be held at the International Conference Centre on Saturday July 24 under the theme Protection of the Environment, whose main aim is to encourage the girls to choose outfits made of recyclable materials.
The contestants this year are aged between 17 and 26, and are from all walks of life. Some are married, some single and one is a mother of two.




The show will last a little more than one hour, and the girls will all parade in their evening wear, swimwear and casual outfit. Many young artists will perform during the show, which will include some new talents as well as others reappearing on the music scene after a long absence.

Miss Regatta 2010 will win a return ticket to Kenya, R5,000 in cash, a full diving course and a weekend for two at the Domaine de l’Orangeraie among other prizes.

There will also be prizes for the First and Second Mermaid, Miss Personality and Miss Photogenic.
The beauty pageant is just one of the events to take place before the Regatta itself.

The Mr Regatta contest will be held on July 23 at the Tequila Boom nightclub and will be followed one week later by the Regatta fair, which will take place on Saturday July 31 and August 1.

The Regatta is an annual event organised by the Round Table with the help of various sponsors.


Thinking out loud here! Is it not time that you visited the Seychelles?

Memories Of The Seychelles!



The back area of my grandparents home has little changed. This simple little stand with water pipe has stood there for the past 30 + years. Originally built by my grandfather Antonio he layed a waterline to the river and brought it to this point where Maxime stands today.


Its amazing to see for me.

As a child I would use it to wash my feet before going into the main house. I would prefer however to wash my feet in the river as my grandfather did every early morning and night. Fresh clean water cascading down the rocks into a basin he built. On hot days or after heavy rains we would all gather with my cousins and go swimming or slide down the rocks now pouring with heavy water flooded by the rains. Sliding into the river.

He would clean fish here as well or late at night and even in the rain be outside brushing his teeth. I would join him. Once we bathed outside - the water so cold but fresh from the river.

I miss those times. Times of respect and understanding. Where simple greetings were greatly appreciated. Where stories were told by friends dropping in as the skies drew dark. Sharing a story and a little drink. Of the outside kitchen where my grandfather would cook up a quick little meal before bringing it in to th house to be devoured.

I loved catsup on my food, and still do. Opening the little fridge on its wooden stand and moving aside the ants forming a line to try and get inside. Some bread, butter, tomato sauce or catsup, some cold water or a soft drink from Waterloo or SeyPearl bought up the street from the local shop.

This was Baie Lazare for me and before that Mare Anglaise. A time with my grandparents and extended family. My youth has long since past. My memories though remain. As does the memories of those who have past and long since been buried. They still are there for me. I miss them all.

Thank you for sharing some time with me! See you back shortly.

Updates And A Great PIC!


Well its about 2027hrs in the Seychelles! Friday night and many are out dining somewhere, or taking a walk on the beach, rain permitting, or just sitting back relaxing on the 'la varang' or patio, taking in the night sky. As for me? Well busy updating this BLOG, the websites for both Seychelles and Ghana and taking some bookings. Someone has to do it right?

Like to take this time however to welcome to the field 'Amical Charters' offering a wonderful boat charter service from Praslin in the Seychelles. Kindly visit the website and go to our Boat Charter & Fishing Fun selection for more details or if you are interested in booking this great product. I will be back to update you on the services @ hand.

Before I go. I keep on looking @ this pic of the Seychelles flag and the backdrop of the mountains. This is the BIG island of Mahe! Simply marvelous!



Stop by again real soon and let's share some thoughts on the islands, or Ghana or maybe even Kenya? Details soon on this project!

New Joint Venture Announced!





Communiqué:- For Immediate Release

‘Face West Aesthetiques’ and ‘UniqueOffersSeychelles!LLC’ are pleased to announce a brand new joint business venture!

We are pleased to confirm that shortly quality Spa and Body Care products will be made available to our current clients and to new clients around the world.

The joint business venture with two newly appointed Seychelles Tourism Ambassadors, Mrs. Karen Pilling Johnson appointed Tourism Ambassador for the Colorado Region and Mrs. Rosemary Pothin Ludwig, appointed Tourism Ambassador for S.E. Wisconsin, find this a ‘unique’ opportunity to combine their talent and resources to better promote and market their businesses along side their ‘Ambassadorship’ positions.

Where ‘Face West Aesthetiques’ is an exclusive ‘by appointment only’ Skin and Body Spa, promoting healthy skin and body care services and products, and UniqueOffersSeychelles!LLC promotes ‘all things unique for all unique tastes’, with markets in travel and products from the Seychelles Islands, Ghana and shortly, Kenya.

The Exclusive Spa Collection “UniqueScentsations” is a complete Skin and Body Care line, exclusively formulated with natural Botanical Extracts and Essential Oils and contains no artificial dyes, fragrances, alcohol or harmful parabens, making this a safe and natural collection of products.

The line ranges from soothing Shower Gels, deliciously scented Body crèmes to Shampoos and Conditioners. While the inspiration initially came from the ‘uniqueness’ of the Seychelles islands, the product is not only limited to them. The product reflects the concept that no matter who we are or where we come from, we are all unique individuals, providing a ‘synergetic’ link with ‘UniqueOffers’ business branding. Because of the love and desire to promote these beautiful islands, and the unique country destinations on offer, it seemed only fitting to formulate a line that would also reflect just that, ‘Unique’ destinations!

Allow us to take you on a “Scentsational” journey as you experience the scents and aromas of the tropics!! So whenever, and wherever you are, you can be transported daily back to that place and time, with fond memories of our ‘Unique’ destinations under the Sun!
