When Lindsay Moody moved to Switzerland in 2013 from the UK she was surprised that sunbed shops here do not provide a spray tan service. So she did what any entrepreneur would do in this situation — she set up a business providing year-round airbrush tanning solutions!
It wasn't as simple as all that. She needed to first complete a Sienna X training course. She admits, "I have always had a passion for fake tans being of Celtic origin and thus quite pale! I am also a firm believer in staying out of the sun, looking after your skin and keeping it healthy. Sadly, the number one enemy is the sun. We all want a tan but a tan is just sun damage and is your skin’s way of telling you it’s being damaged, dark spots, premature aging, wrinkles, and in the worst case scenario, skin cancer."
Not only is this treatment with immediate results but a great confidence-booster, particularly in the grey winter months. Sunless tanning is perfect for a simple pick-me-up, parties, weddings, pre-holiday, special occasions, and perfect for naturally pale skins that burn and never tan. The custom airbrush spray tan is a 1-on-1 personalized spray tanning session done in privacy. The process takes around 10-15 minutes for a full body spray tan and takes around 6-8 hours to develop. The "One Hour Tan" is also available and can be washed off after one hour and the color develops over 2-4 hours. (designed for people that want to quickly wash off the color guide and not sit around in tan for hours while it develops).
Lindsay said, "I found spray tanning is the perfect business to run alongside my current home and life commitments. I am a mother of 3 young boys and it provides me with a sense of fulfilment outside my busy role of mother and wife."

If you own a cat or dog and are planning on going away over the summer holidays, then you need to start getting arrangements in place for your pet! For most dog and cat owners, the task of finding suitable lodging for their pets is just as important as finding the perfect holiday villa for the family. Indeed a personal recommendation goes a long way to helping you make the right choice!
So when one of the recommended kennels listed in Know-it-all passport® contacted us recently to offer a discount to our readers, we thought we should let you know!
Based in Chancy, just outside Geneva, Of-Liberty is a long-established kennel (since 1962) for both cats and dogs, described by the owner, Madeleine Champendal, as a “Colonie de Vacances or Hotel!
Lots of space for the dogs...
Describing her facilities for dogs to knowitall.ch, Madeleine told us, “All our guests are looked after individually with lots of affection and attention. They sleep inside, in large, comfortable, centrally-heated kennels (day and night at 20 degrees), in baskets with blankets. The kennels have a direct opening to a 5,000m2 garden outside where there is plenty of shade under trees or parasols.”
