Need to get ready in a flash? (Again?)

Parties. They’re supposed to be fun. But by the time you’ve scaled the London transport system, raced home, cobbled an outfit (or five) together, washed your hair, reapplied your makeup and arrived at your destination, you’re so exhausted you want to go to bed. It’s all a bit stressful, really.

So just hope you’re going to the same party as the therapists from Cadence Massage, who’ll travel to any private gathering, be it a cosy dinner or a massive rave, to treat even the most stressed guests to a tension-relieving, energy-reviving rubdown.

These people work with West End performers and professional dancers, so they’ll limber you up for a boogie in no time. And although they use delicious-smelling oils containing lavender, clary sage and bergamot (opt for the Love Potion if you’re looking for a snog), they won’t drown you in grease.

It’s a great cure for social anxiety and doesn’t leave you feeling like a dog in the morning. If you do, however, Cadence Massage also visits homes and offices all over London. And if you’re planning a little soiree on the slopes this winter, get this: Cadence operates an in-chalet service in Meribel and Courchevel from December through to April.

Now that’s flash.
