Finding my bliss | at Made. Beauty Space

February 26, 2015

made beauty interior

Nestled a handful of steps off Church Street in Hawthorn, is a bliss space everyone should know about. But for now, let’s keep it as our little secret beauties.

Made. Beauty Space, opened their doors less than 2 years ago, is the creation of Richie Angelo and Stacey Burt who first immersed themselves in the industry back in New Zealand at Rotorua’s famous Polynesian Spa.

Tucked away behind a simple brick facade, the considered, chic and stripped back interior combines touches of art, mid-century modern and monochromatic class. The ease of the space leaves you feeling like you are at home with your sisters, rather than the often sterile surroundings common to beauty spas.

And yes, they have taken a little of their native New Zealand with them, carefully handpicking skincare brands Sans Ceuticals and Sodashi – created by one very successful ex-pat Megan Larsen.

We Love: Rise Yoga

Rise Yoga is an urban oasis tucked away above the bustling Bridge Road in the Melbourne inner city suburb of Richmond. Our decision to feature this lovely studio, was sparked after experiencing one of their Power Flow classes on a balmy Friday afternoon back in November.

As you ascend the stairs to the studio, you are greeted by a light and airy reception come chill out area, which echoes that of a New York loft. The natural light filters through to the heated studio, owned by the gorgeous Rosie McCaughey. Rosie has an extensive background which includes both Physiotherapy and clinical Pilates so starting a yoga studio was a natural progression.

We Love: One Hot Yoga | One Hot Pilates

Let me introduce you to my latest bliss space addition – One Hot Yoga and now One Hot Pilates.

Since ‘discovering’ this little beauty in the past couple of weeks, I often find myself asking –

One Hot where have you been all my life?

Lush, sexy, muted earthy tones, the coolness of the raw concrete under foot, you can only help but feel the stillness as you walk through the doors of the One Hot Yoga studios.

The marriage of yoga, Pilates and refined architectural interiors is a sensory candy overload – a match made in heaven!

We Love: Flow Athletic

Well beauties, at long last we’re adding new Bliss Spaces we love!

No better way than to kick off with Flow Athletic, a beautiful studio and space, located in the heart of Paddington.

Although this space is one we’ve not had the pleasure of practicing at yet, we have only heard good things about how it’s run and the space itself.

Open 7 days a week, Flow Athletic follows ‘the Flow Philosophy’ – the belief in a balanced and complete workout to get optimum results – combining strength, fit and yoga classes together.

We Love: YOGA Loft Newcastle

I love Sydney, the beaches, the nightlife, the people and the mix of mega yoga studios with smaller intimate one room yoga spaces. However, there are times, many times when I crave getting out of the city and to a place where life moves a bit more slowly. Earlier this month on a last minute whim I decided to hop on a train at central station and go visit my Aussie Mum, Kate in Newcastle. I had been there a few times in the past, but mostly just hung around her flat eating homemade dinners, chatting and getting to know each other. This time we decided to be a little more adventurous and explore the city together.
