[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I know I’m forgetful but I can honestly say I have never used an entire product having completely forgotten to take any pictures of it. But, I tried this (because I try everything unless otherwise stated) and loved it and ended up using it til it was all gone. I was all ready to…

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I already love my existing Aromatherapy Associates Atomiser – AA is one of my favourite brands and I think I must have featured Deep Relax Oil more than any other product. It’s just perfect. The Atomiser Connect is controllable via an app so you can schedule calming (or invigorating) notes to be wafting for…

[unpaid/complimentaryexperience] Hydrogen Therapy is a Japanese therapy new to the UK and yesterday I went for a treatment at Suhaku in Kensington, London, on the recommendation of a friend. To explain a little about how hydrogen therapy works: hydrogen has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties and it also has anti-apoptotic (try saying that out loud –…

[unpaid/sample] Here’s a clear way to make a saving on your beauty products – after sun sits in the ‘don’t need to pay over the odds’ category. As long as you are putting moisture into your skin after sun exposure, then it doesn’t particularly matter on the branding or fancy claims. Delph After Sun is…

[unpaid/sample] I know that many of us are fans of the traditional soap. Personally, although I do have liquid soaps, I can’t ever see myself giving up on them completely. There’s something just so solid and reassuring about a proper block of soap. The English Soap Company is new to me although the brand is…

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/priorad] I’m such a big fan of Tatcha – actually right from the get-go. It’s efficacious, luxurious and interesting so I’m pleased they’ve brought out a body care range (although where is the bath soak – that’s what I need the most!). It’s based around the concept of forest bathing which I am sure I…

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] CHANEL minis are practically walking out of stores – within moments of me buying the Water Tint mini at Sephora, it had sold out. However, they do still have stock of the CHANEL Illuminating Oil for Face, Body & Hair which is something. There’s definitely something a bit magical about this shimmering oil –…

[unpaid/sample] If you like a minty morning, you’re in luck! Spearmint, eucalyptus and rosemary is a very revitalizing combination – spearmint is my favourite mint for it’s little kick of sweetness, I can even tolerate it in lip balm unlike regular minty balms or lipsticks. Anyone noticed that the trend for making lipsticks and glosses…

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I don’t know about you but we woke up to storms this morning – my hair is unspeakable, the air is sticky and the cloud is dense. But, all that aside, I’ve been trying out The Body Shop Zesty Lime Blossom and never was a fragranced range made more for a day like today.…

[unpaid/sample/affililate/ad] If the scent of Monoi is catnip to you, both the Dior Solar Protective Cream and the Dior Solar After-Sun Balm have that gorgeous fragrance running through them. I’m so used to using lightweight or gel formula SPFs that it’s a surprise to come across a formula that feels like it has stepped back…

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] If you’re a fan of Charlotte’s Magic Cream for the face, I think you’ll very much enjoy the body version which is blended with hyaluronic acid, caffeine and shea. It’s sumptuous, beautifully hydrating, makes skin feel supple and soft – oh, and smooth as well – and has a beautiful clean/flowery scent that reminded…

[unpaid/sample] So, where shall I start about how annoying sand is. That gorgeous, unspoiled beach looks so tempting when you first arrive but when it comes to leaving – so. much. sand. everywhere. I was sent a very thoughtful kit to demonstrate how well Beach Powder works; a little pot of sand, some SPF50 and…

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] What caught my eye about The Sanctuary Melting Pearls Body Butter is the ‘melting pearl’ element. I don’t think I can remember seeing those in a body product before. Whenever I come across encapsulation, I have an overwhelming urge to burst them – usually, they’re encased in a bottle and smoosh themselves when they…

[unpaid/sample] Carlisle is a place I know very well – it’s the nearest station to my mum and dad’s house just over the border so I’ve been endless times. It’s also the place that my mum used to take us for the biggest treat – the Wimpy! For kids who lived in the middle of…
