Whether you’re from Edinburgh, Glasgow or Aberdeen, why not spend a night with some friends getting pampered and preened? Oh, and did we mention there’s free nibbles and bubbly…? Yeah. Free wine is always welcome alongside the pursuit of knowledge.

If you hail more from the West (Weegies, I’m talking to you), then you’ll be happy to know that  our PURE Student Night coincides with Silverburn Shopping Centre’s “WonderGraduate” event. Shop until you drop, then have us pick you back up again!

Christmas Preview Blogger Event

goodiesLast night, it was goodybags and bubbly galore for our Christmas preview blogger event! Although it’s still a few months away, the clock is always ticking down to those fateful jingle bells.

We thought it was high time we shared everything we’ve been planning for the festive season. So, we opened our doors at PURE Ocean Terminal, Union Square and Silverburn for a night of sneak peeks.

But there was a twist!

After getting to know our therapists and salon, our beautiful writers were taken to the relaxation areas where they were presented with a series of numbered doors. Yes, it was a night of “what’s behind door number X…”

The game was easy: within a hat, we had all of our most popular spa treatments written on cards. One by one, our bloggers would pick a treatment at random. They then hopped into their robes and slippers, to be treated to the full PURE experience.

Treatments included: Thai bundle massage, Elemis facial, Hopi ear candles, Hot stone massage, Indian head massage and our spa relaxing message. (Blogger sidenote: what was your favourite?).

Afterwards, they were treated to manicures à la Leighton Denny’s Temptation collection. They also got to preview the tenaciously technicoloured Elemis Treasures Collections (see slideshow, below). These colourful giftsets will light up any stocking.

Overall, the therapists and bloggers had a wonderful evening – so much so, they stayed chatting about all things beauty and spa until way beyond closing time! Talk about beauty never sleeping, eh?

7 Tips for Improving Staff Welfare

7 Tips for Employers on How to Improve Staff Wellbeing at Work

The PURE experience is not limited to our spas and beauty treatment rooms – our ethos goes far beyond that. Relaxation and ‘me time’ is vital in all walks of life, so we felt it was time to pass on some often-forgotten tips on how to improve staff wellbeing at work.

And remember: this can improve you or your fellow employee’s welfare, productivity, retention and ultimately profits.

Top tips!

  • Put real plants in the office
    Green is psychologically shown to boost creativity, so putting some simple plants around the office should help employees to be more creative.  If they are real plants they will also suck out Carbon Dioxide from the air and make the air cleaner to breath.
  • Maintain good temperature
    21 degrees Celsius is the generally accepted best working temperature; you won’t spend time warming up or feeling distracted by having to cool down.
  • Seating
    Ensure you and your employees have the correct seats – this will help prevent back pain, which is the single biggest reason for employee absence.
  • Breaks
    Make sure employees take at least 20/30 min break – foster a culture of taking a break from the desk. This is good for morale, productivity, but also personal welfare.
  • Stress balls
    Not for everyone, but they really do work for some!
  • Encourage everyone to be nice
    Stress is often caused through mis-communication or inappropriate comments.  Try to foster a positive environment by encouraging everyone to give thanks to each other every week for the good things they have done.
  • Moments of Brilliance
    At PURE, we have Moments of Brilliance folders where we share great feedback with everyone – this helps to foster a positive environment and help staff to feel good about their work.

PURE @ Autumn Fashion Fix

ffsbannerAutumn Fashion Fix: They shopped, they dropped… and then we put them back together again.

This weekend, both Union Square and Silverburn Shopping Centres opened their doors to fashionistas and fashionistos alike for their Autumn Fashion Fix. Like a miniature fashion week over two days, both centres were buzzing with some of the season’s most sought after trends. There were clothes, makeup and hair tips… but where was PURE?

Well, our only fashion contribution is our Leighton Denny collections, but we still wanted to join in on all the fun! We were on-hand to aid weary shoppers. After shoppers spent their days judging catwalks, browsing sales and being wrapped up in new outfits, we offered some lucky fashion bloggers a chance for some… alternative retail therapy!

Cue: Bubbly, a goody bag and a free PURE massage!

These shopaholics were treated to a full PURE massage in our treatment room. This stress-busting back massage eases tension and can improve general health and well-being; AKA, it’s the perfect end to a day of on-heels spectating and numerous outfit changes!

P.s. If you’re one of our stunning fashion bloggers, get in touch. We’d love to read anything you’ve written!
