When the weather gets colder it’s always nice to try and revive my skin with a new routine, so step in the Oils of Life from The Body Shop. I’ve been using the range for almost a month now and my skin is feeling and looking good! The range Combines three oils from around the world, specifically chosen for their repairing and revitalising properties: Black Cumin seed oil from Egypt Rosehip seed oil from Chile…
As I said in yesterday’s post I’m feeling a bit ‘blah’. I think it’s partly because of the whole house hunt thing and partly because the only ‘me time’ I’ve had since before Arlo arrived is a half hour trip to do the food shop two weeks ago! I need a day (nay, two days!) away in a spa with just me and a couple of good books for company to recharge myself but that…
My love for the Body Shop goes way back, Twenty years or so back in fact! I grew up in a village really close to the Body Shop HQ in Littlehampton and my mum took me on the factory tour a few times as well as numerous visits to the ‘Trading Post’ which was an on site shop selling end of lines and discounted stock. Needless to say I have fond memories of the tour,…
My mum gave me an early Christmas present of two cute makeup bags this week in preparation for my holiday, and because Sam is working over the weekend before I go I’ve been attempting to pack a little bit up each evening so it’s not a major rush, so last nights task was skin & hair care packing! Miracle mattifier moisturiser by Good Things. This was a TK Maxx bargain and not only does…
Last Friday I spent a lovely evening with some fellow Brighton bloggers and Amy and Poppy from Green People. They’d got us all together to talk about their newly launched makeup products and to showcase some of their best sellers too, along with some AMAZING smelling Christmas gifts, it is after all less than three months away! Green People create organic beauty and skin care products for the whole family, and has been going for…
I have a slight addiction to lip balm. I have at least 4 on the go at any one time; by the bed, in the living room, in my handbag and in the car as minimum generally! I always seem to have dry lips, even in the summer so need to apply liberally at regular intervals! I thought I’d do a post on my recent favourites in case anyone needed any lip-quenching inspiration! Burts…
I’ve been a little careless in the sun so far this year, nothing too horrific (I’ve had some pretty bad sunburn in the past) But enough that my parting stayed red for a few days and my back started to peel a bit! Stupidly I spent a fair amount of time (and money!) on sunbeds in my mid twenties and have fair freckly Irish skin and blue eyes so should really be careful with…
I am a lot less conscious of the state I am in before I head out of the door these days compared to the pre-baby me, although starting work at 6.45am for a lot of my working life meant that I did often do my makeup half asleep in the mornings. Since I am back at work in 8 weeks and will be battling with baby/nursery/trains to work etc I need to get my…
