Did you ever try aqua biking? if so, you will know that biking in the water will remain gentle to your joints while leaving no pity for your cellulite and abs! WaterBike is exactly the same but with some extra benefits: 

- You get your own "pool" where you bike, at different levels up to spinning. The water contains ozone, perfect for removing dead cells and leave you a clear and radiant skin! 

- You have a large possibility of hours to attend. Just book your sessions in advance, choose between the 30 or 45min and go! 

- Private and totally tailored sessions with a coach who stays next to you if you desire, motivating and counseling you. 

- You get your own TV, so the session becomes less hard... well.. the less hard part depends on you and how fast you bike... ;) You wan watch you 45 min favorite TV show and you won't even feel it!

We love the little cabins, so new, fancy and with this color change that keeps your energy and mood up. As the rural aqua biking, WaterBike will sculpt your legs and improve your body without lot of pain. You need to make the biggest possible effort, not just bike with no objective,.. that will just be a loose of time. It will give you the strength of water sports: muscles, heart, brain.. functioning better than ever! 

Open to all levels, WaterBiking is equipped with a system that adjusts the level of resistance of the bicycle to your own likings. You will see the results quite fast. The first thing you will notice will be lighter legs, better blood circulation, better skin and definitely tighter abs! Your silhouette will be redefined in a month and you will want to keep on practicing WaterBike for much longer! 

Go with your swimming suit and water shoes, you can find them at a very affordable price in all sports stores.  

I choose the Capri cabin, no time for Capri but felt like there! :) 

WaterBike captivated us the other day, we are sure it will captivate you too!

The Breakfast Revolution

Having breakfast in bed has always been a good way to pamper someone... to say "I love you", "I'm sorry", "The kids are out... let's...". We all need that moment when nothing in this world can bother us or stop us from loving and having a good time with our +1... or ourselves !

Marilyn knew how to spoil herself.. apart from diamonds she would also enjoy a nice breakfast in bed!

So... I bet you all have already tried the Room Service at the hotels and posted a picture saying "voilà my little auto gift today: Breakfast in bed!". What about doing it too at home? Why should we travel and wait for this "Room Service" moment to make it happen if we can order it now here in town? 

Ptit Dej Ô Lit has thought about us and they offer the same (if not much better) in-bed breakfast selection that you could find at a 5 stars hotel, the only difference is that you will enjoy it at your OWN BED!

It's very simple... check out their site www.ptitdej.ch and order your breakfast! They deliver 7/7 in Geneva. 

I was surprised to see that they also offer Gluten Free and Bio breads... and what about the champagne? why not? Don't let the bad weather ruin your free day and start a sparkling sunday! 

Pancakes, omelets, pains au chocolats and a selection of bakery by Cartier Versoix... who can resist to their famous madeleines aux amandes???

For the "diet addicts" you have a choice of minis waiting for you... mini brioche, mini croissant... so you can remain mini while your +1 becomes maxi :) 

And last but not least... was happily surprised to see that they even have the Uzume bracelets to offer you! Start the day happy, relaxed, spoiled and always with a positive attitude... that will be the key for a successful day! 

Oh... to all the Office Managers in town... you can also order Ptit Dej Ô Lit at the office! :) 

I hope you like it... have a wonderful breakfast!

The Sales Tour

TIME FOR SALES... TIME TO GET IT! 

Pictures: my own and source. 

For some of us it means: "Go and get what you wanted!" and for some others: "horror...too many people everywhere"... That's why i'm writing this post, about a "SALES TOUR" I recommend in Geneva.. So if you don't want to walk around trying to find the good deals... read this post and go straight where you need to! 

I personally love the little stores in the Old Town, some of them so hidden that you don't even know they exist! Shopping in the Old Town is probably one of the most pleasant shopping tours you can make. I start my tour in Rita & Zia. You probably know their beautiful necklaces and other jewelry, but they also have clothes from American Vintage and Reiko, right now -50% in both brands! 

Still in Rue Grand Rue, we have the Zadig & Voltaire Stock. I think they probably have the greatest deals over there. Try the Must Have Tunisiens with skull, peace or butterfly prints.... Everything from -30 to -50% off. 

Right in front, Living Tradition offers you one of a kind design items at also pretty interesting prices. Drawings, carpets, furnitures, candles... Take advantage of the special prices and give your home a new look! Don't forget to visit their second boutique a few meters from there... 

Still in that area, you find Preziosa, they have a wide offer of Kartell lamps and chairs. Now is when you should invest in those colorful lamps you always wanted to have in your living room! 

Time to take a brake, go to Rozzel and get their homemade ice cream... If you are not one of those who would kill for an ice cream.. go to The Laughing Teapot and enjoy a tea time relaxing moment. 

Continue the tour toward la Clemence, you might bump into someone over there... always crowded and always waiting for a table to be free... good luck if it's sunny! Right there, you find Stuff, and yes, you might find some interesting stuff too... 

One of the destinations I totally recommend is Klima. If you are a lucky one you will find the Ash Sneakers almost half price! I felt for a Faith Connexion perfecto I was looking for... They still have a few ones left! 

What about the little ones? We also have clothes and accessories for the kids, and that's what I call A DEAL! They grow up fast, so you better take advantage of those -70% you will find in places such as Pied à Terre, store dedicated to shoes, bags and a few clothes too. 

While I head to the center, I stop by La Muse, a premium fashion destination! Women's designers clothes, shoes, bags and accessories. Fall in love with the Miranda Kerr's favorite shoes by Nicholas Kirkwood and find Tiffany Rowe necklaces! 

In Rue du Marché, mostly all the stores offer interesting discounts. Going in there depends on your mood...

¿Feeling like escaping from the center? then take Rue d'Italie and visit Sandro and Maje. There again, it's the best time of the year to buy those dresses and pants we wanted but could not afford their original price... 

What about lunch? I like going to Pain Quotidien in Boulevard Helvétique... Love their Hummus tartines and Mimosa Cocktail! 

Almost done for today.... but the last stop is probably one of my favorite fashion spot in town... EastSide! They opened a few months ago, and their collections inspired from the New York Soho style has made this concept store the new trendiest place in town! We all love their Scotch & Soda and Surperdry selection, and what about their skulls ballerinas?? -30% in almost everything! Also, discover their new Twenty Violets Beach Bags while you enjoy their  "already popular in town" syrups and homemade cookies..
