				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At 1.78m (5ft8ins) and weighing 54kg, Kendall Jenner has a supermodel figure that every girl envies but secretly desires to own.</p>
<p>It’s not just her genes that contribute to her great figure, Kendall also works really hard to look good and maintain her toned body.</p>
<p>The secret behind her perfect figure is not any crash diet, but a combination of regular workouts and healthy eating. Here are the top 5 Kendall Jenner exercises that can help you transform your body, and achieve the perfect shape.</p>
<p><b>Pull-Ups:</b> These are one of the highly efficient exercises forms that help you develop quality muscles, power, explosiveness and body awareness. Each single pull up works out your biceps, triceps, forearms, wrists, grip strength, shoulders, and your core.</p>
<p><b>High-Intensity Cardio:</b> This calls for doing challenging moves such as burpees in quick succession for shorter intervals. It is the hardest, but the most effective way to burn calories quickly.</p>
<p><b>Squats:</b> This exercise form focuses on strength-training to increase your muscle mass. The more muscle mass you have, the faster your metabolism will be, and the faster you will burn calories.</p>
<p><b>Lateral Banded Exercises:</b> You can do the lateral branded exercise using a special rubber loop or the DIY-style with tights tied at the feet and double looped. This exercise works on your inner and outer thighs when you position the band right above the knees and move from side to side by creating extra resistance.</p>
<p><b>Deadlifts:</b> This form involves bending forward from your waist to engage the back of your thighs. Deadlifts are the perfect move for lifting the butt, quite like Jenner’s.</p>
<p><strong>Try any of these Kendall Jenner moves and get red-carpet ready in no time.</strong></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tranquility, luxury, and deep relaxation are what I look forward to as I embark towards the calming waterway of <strong><a href="http://www.spagenie.ae/spa/anantara-spa">Anantara Spa at Eastern Mangroves</a></strong>, away from the hustle and bustle of the city.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Set in the heart of Abu Dhabi, and inside the luxurious Anantara Resort, Anantara Spa at Eastern Mangroves boasts beautiful Arabic interior, majestic rooms, and Arabic-inspired decors.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The spa proudly uses traditionally-inspired techniques and remedies that offer therapeutic pampering of the body.</span></p>
<p><b>What we tried: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Scents of Arabia Signature Ritual</span></p>
<p><b>Price: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">AED 779 / 90 minutes</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Scents of Arabia Signature Ritual is an exclusive wellness experience that starts with a 15-minute steam. The essential oils used during the treatment uplift the mind and soothe the skin. The treatment also makes use of a unique three mint herbal compress and a bamboo stick that helps knead out daily tension from the body.</span></p>
<p><b>How it went:</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Upon arrival, I was escorted to a serene waiting room, where I was given hand towels and offered refreshments. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">My therapist, Inge, thoroughly explained the Scents of Arabia Signature Ritual to me, what it incorporates, and the benefits of the bamboo sticks used during the treatment. Aside from that, I was also given essential oils to choose from prior to the treatment, after Inge carefully explained the benefits of each. She also asked if there were any specific areas I would like her to concentrate on during the massage, so she could tailor the experience to my individual needs. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I felt extremely comfortable as we started the treatment, as Inge provided me with all the information needed as she escorted me to my private changing room. She also gave me the perfect amount of privacy every step of the way &#8211; a special mention to her excellent towel management skills!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The massage itself incorporates pressure using the hands, the bamboo stick and the hot press. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Personally, my favorite part was when the hot press was incorporated into the massage strokes &#8211; I could actually feel my whole body relax at that time. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At the end of the treatment, Inge gave me some time to stay on the massage bed, lie down and relax, rather than immediately getting up to get changed. Once I was ready to get up, she escorted me to the relaxation room, where I was offered refreshments and some dates to end the treatment. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I also wanted to mention that while the Scents of Arabia Signature Ritual was a massage treatment, it did a great job at thoroughly relaxing my mind and body. After the treatment, my face was glowing and I looked much healthier than when I walked in.. a testament to the complete sense of wellness the treatment left me with.</span></p>
<p><b>The verdict:</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With valet parking available, friendly staff, a beautiful ambiance, and luxurious feel, I couldn’t recommend Anantara Spa at Eastern Mangroves enough. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The spa is well maintained and you are provided with everything needed &#8211; robe, towel, slippers, and vanity kit stocked neatly and properly.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The treatments are of superior quality, and leave you feeling relaxed and pampered.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The best part, though, is the fact that you can enjoy the beautiful location of the spa. With gorgeous outdoor seating available at the Anantara Resort, it’s a pleasure to end your spa day with views of the beautiful waterway. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This truly adds to the overall experience, and makes it the perfect spot for a wellness getaway that’s not too far from the city. </span></p>
<p><b>Value for money:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> 4/5</span></p>
<p><b>Quality of service: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">5/5</span></p>
<p><b>Therapist knowledge:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> 5/5</span></p>
<p><b>Customer service:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> 5/5</span></p>
<p><b>Overall rating:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> 4.75/5</span></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Known for world class and high-quality service, heading the <strong><a href="http://www.spagenie.ae/spa/ivory-aesthetics">Ivory Aesthetics</a></strong> team is none other than Shohreh Bagherian, one of UAE’s most renowned and sought after facialists.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Shohreh has been prominently featured in Harper’s Bazaar, Cosmopolitan, Hello! Magazine, Good Housekeeping, and numerous other publications as a pioneer in skin care treatments. She’s known for her technologically advanced services, luxurious spa ambiance, and outstanding skin, body, and hair treatments.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Located in Silver Tower, Business Bay, Ivory Aesthetics’ glamorous and modern-day interior makes it the perfect place to feel like royalty.</span></p>
<p><b>What we tried: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Oxygen Infusion Facial Treatment</span></p>
<p><b>Recommended for: </b>Dehydrated, dull, and uneven skin</p>
<p><b>Price: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">AED 650 / 45 minutes &#8211; 1 hour</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Oxygen Infusion Facial Treatment is one of the most popular services at Ivory Aesthetics, and a client favourite. It uses a machine to infuse pure oxygen into your skin, helping the skin absorb its healing ingredients and penetrate deeper layers of the epidermis. This, therefore, doubles the treatment’s effect on the skin and allows the products used during the facial to work more effectively.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Oxygen Infusion Facial Treatment is perfect for all skin types, as it’s ingredients are carefully tailored according to what the skin needs. </span></p>
<p><b>How it went:</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I was personally welcomed by Shohreh, who sat with me to discuss my skin and the treatment. She told me about my skin’s health and its problems, and also checked my previous skincare history &#8211; the treatments I’ve done before, whether I’m using sunscreen or not, and what we can do to improve my skin concerns. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What I like about Shohreh is her passion, and her process in customizing each facial according to my skin’s overall health and on how she can make it look its best.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Shohreh carefully explained the facial process to me, what was being applied, and what it does. She also constantly asked how I was feeling, especially during extractions. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The best thing about the Oxygen Infusion Facial Treatment is, it gave my skin an instant glow. My skin was very dull, and I had dark undereye circles. But immediately after, I could see my skin’s health become better and radiant. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">After the facial, while I still had my mask on, I was treated to their signature relaxing back massage.</span></p>
<p><b>The verdict:</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Shohreh is one of the most knowledgeable facialists when it comes to skincare, and also an expert in customizing products and ingredients to suit the skin’s needs.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The ambiance of her spa is extremely beautiful, with gorgeous interiors &#8211; when I stepped in, I felt like I’d entered into a beautiful sanctuary that immediately relaxed me. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Overall, if you are serious about taking care of your skin, we’d absolutely recommend Shohreh. She is no doubt one of the best in town and she takes her clients skin health very personally, always adjusting treatments and methods based on what you need.</span></p>
