OUT OF OFFICE
GO RUNNING, BOUTIQUE-STYLE
Ever feel that your girls’ nights out are a little on the unhealthy side? If so, try this one on for size: a boutique run, 5 or 10k, in Battersea Park followed by free champagne, hot showers, massages, free makeovers from the Powder Puff Girls, a fabulous after party featuring music and dancers from top London club night Guilty Pleasures, and performances from the Pineapple Dance Group. Leave with a goodie bag full of Elemis treats. 10 July, race at 6pm in Battersea Park. www.boutiquerun.com
