15% discount for knowitall.ch readers until the end of November 2015!
Chez Louise, an all-in-one beauty bar located in the heart of Geneva, is offering knowitall.ch readers a 15% discount off all services booked before the end of November 2015.
Whether you’re looking for a cosy time out with friends, pampering yourselves over a cup of coffee, or need a makeover before a special occasion, Chez Louise is able to offer a full beauty service for clients, including hair styling, make up and manicure.
Designed to feel more like your best friend’s lounge rather than a professional hair or beauty salon, Chez Louise was opened at the beginning of this year by Alexandra Rey Peufly, a former HR and Office Manager, inspired by her frequent visits to New York, and many evenings spent at home drinking champagne with friends!
“Shake it off” in Lausanne this Saturday, 10 October, and help spread the word...
A special campaign designed to shake off prejudice towards people with cerebral palsy and raise awareness about the lives of people with motor disabilities has just been launched in Lausanne by both the Handi-Capable Association and Cerebral Association.
The "Shake it off 4 CP" campaign was launched officially on 7 October 2015, World Cerebral Palsy Day, with a new "Shake it off" video, which can be viewed on YouTube and at www.shakeitoff4cp.com. The focus of the campaign, however, will be on 10 October, when there will be a special event in Lausanne inviting the public to shake off powder, glitter and confetti in front of the cameras, and then post their own versions of the video on social media, challenging others to do the same!
Facing the daily difficulties related to the disability of their own children, two mothers, Christine Luetscher Rochat and Maggie Goudy, decided to take action and launch the new campaign to create awareness and educate a wider public audience about the lives of people with motor disabilities. Their aim is simple: to offer a different perspective – that those individuals with disabilities can enjoy a life that is joyful, positive and colored.
Experienced reflexologist, Fabienne Mourgue d’Algue, is offering knowitall.ch readers 10% off all reflexology massages booked before the end of 2015.
Using a unique combination of reflexology and Maïeusthésie, Fabienne’s treatments are considered to be quite special in the Geneva area, helping clients to overcome a variety of conditions such as depression, lack of confidence, tiredness, sleeping difficulties, constipation, and stress.
Fabienne explained, “Reflexology is practised by the gentle massage of the reflex zones of the feet, restoring the body’s natural equilibrium. Maïeusthésie is a psychological technique created to reveal the part of you that has being suffering. You will feel lighter and much more free after this therapeutic moment. Having studied the disciplines of reflexology and Maïeusthésie for 3 years, I have spent the last 18 months in private practice, using my knowledge to adapt each treatment to the individual needs of my patients.”
A new bilingual day care center is set to open in Versoix in February of 2016.
Located close to Lake Geneva in 450m2 of space on the ground floor of the Modulis Business Park building, the Little Green House crèche will accommodate up to 45 babies and toddlers from the age of 4 months through to 4 years.
Building on the success of its other centers in Gland and Tolochenaz, the new daycare center in Versoix will provide a private, bilingual international environment where children learn to speak both French and English through child-initiated activities.
Featured on our website when they launched their first center in Gland in May 2012, Little Green House places a strong emphasis on Nature and Health. A balanced program has been designed with the aim of giving children the security and confidence they need to develop a sense of what is good and healthy. Each day the children spend time together outdoors and explore their surroundings. Meals are primarily composed of whole food and organic products.
Valérie's childhood teddy bear is one of the principal characters in her first book.
Following on from the success of her first book, B at Home, local author, Valérie Besanceney, has just published a second book on the same theme of moving home.
Called My Moving Booklet, the new 80-page paperback is designed to help children through the initial stages of an upcoming move. Whilst moving can be exciting, it can also be terrifying at the same time. On the one hand, it can be very sad to say goodbye, but on the other it can also be incredibly fun to experience new things and meet new people. Everybody experiences a move differently, but it is very important to say goodbye properly.
Valérie told knowitall.ch, “This booklet allows children to truly welcome the new challenges and adventures that lie ahead of them, together with their parents and teachers. In many parts of the booklet, I have given them the opportunity to either write about it, to draw a picture, or to glue on a photograph. This is their own unique story that one day will serve as a keepsake of a life-changing event.”
