Spa Day For Kids
Planning a Spa day at home is the most pampering gift we can offer our kids. Relaxing is important and is the best way to connect with your little ones.
Nurturing Face Mask:
For a true spa experience, we highly recommend the avocado and honey facial mask with organic and home-made ingredients that will deeply nourish and refresh the skin. A face mask will help in cleansing, toning and massaging your kid´s skin, the avocado is highly rich in vitamins and is amazing for dry, sensitive skin. During summer and after sun exposure, the avocado is ideal to reduce the heat and calm the skin. The honey will have a powerful toning and hydrating effect. Combine this delightful experience with the refreshing sensation of traditional cucumber slices gently placed over the eye lids. Not only they are fun, but they are also refreshing for the eyes, relaxing the muscles and activating the circulation.
Ingredients:
- Face Mask – Combine half ripe avocado mashed with a teaspoon of honey. For very dry skin, we also recommend to add a teaspoon of coconut oil.
- Slice half cucumber and save them in the fridge .
- Remove the face mask with warming towels that will deeply relax your face muscles.

Intellectual Curosities Corinthia Budapest
124 years ago, on the 30 April 1896 The Grand Hotel Royal held its official opening ceremony. The hotel was originally opened for the visitors of the Millennium Exhibition, and later became popular as a hub for the elite of the 19th century society, and a hotspot for contemporary Hungarian writers and journalists, which were located on the Grand Boulevard. By that time, the Grand Boulevard had become the main artery of the capital city, thus these hotel rooms profited from some of the best views of Budapest. In 2003, this property was restored to its former grandiosity, and reopened as the Corinthia Hotel Budapest.
