Australia’s best weekend escapes

AUSTRALIA’S BEST WEEKEND ESCAPES

There has been a noticeable shift in the atmosphere within our HYPOXI Studios come Friday.  No longer are there sighs of relief coming from knowing Friday is the last work day for the week. Instead there is an abundance of excited chit chat as the women prepare for the weekend that will see them wake up on Saturday (and Sunday morning if they’re lucky) in a stranger’s bed feeling like a new person.

No it’s not what you think – the fast paced women that attend our studios are quickly morphing into weekend jet setters as they realise how precious weekends are for recuperating and getting away from their deadlines and pressures of work.

These women have now become our very own trip advisors as they discover some of Australia’s best weekend escapes that feel worlds away. In true Femme Files fashion we want share our client’s favourite weekend retreats that are no longer than 3 hours drive from Australia’s major capital cities, with the exception of WA’s Injidup Spa Retreat that is just under 4 hours.

The reasons behind the break up are long winded and I won’t go into too much detail, as we could be here for pages. I’ll just tell you …

The best way to improve your memory

Recent research has showed that regular exercise helps women stay not only physically fit but mentally healthy too, especially as we get older. One of the studies discovered that middle-aged women, defined as sixty years on average, were less likely to develop certain diseases in later years if they stayed active. Chronic diseases, cardiovascular issues and physical or mental declines after the age of seventy were less prone to occur in such females.

In All Her Glory

Last month we signed up a new client to the studio who has been coming religiously for Hypoxi treatments. At the age of 57, she is vivacious and outgoing and always happy to chat. She recently asked me about bloating, and how to prevent it for certain occasions. After giving her a few tips, I asked if there was a special event in particular she wanted a flat tummy for, and I was surprised at the answer.
