Ballerina Beauty: Lighter Legs and Firmer Skin

Ballerina Beauty: Lighter Legs and Firmer Skin

Oh, what a beautiful collaboration this is! I already adore l'Occitane's Amande range with its perfect green and white packaging and its warm, comforting scents, but throw a bit of ballet into the mix and you have something quite gorgeous. l'Occitane have teamed up...

Bathory Warning: This Soak May Cause Drowsiness

Bathory Warning: This Soak May Cause Drowsiness

A new and exciting development in the world of bathing - a world in which I like to spend as much time wallowing and sploshing as is humanly possible: The Bathory opened their virtual doors last week, allowing anyone with access to the internet an opportunity to...

Bath Soak, Body Butter and a Floral Explosion

Bath Soak, Body Butter and a Floral Explosion

If you're into highly highly fragranced bath and body products but would rather stab yourself in the eye with a fork than set foot in a Lush store* then you might want to take a look at Soapsmith's little range of potted and bottled stuff. It's all made in East...

Massage Candles: Do Not Share

Massage Candles: Do Not Share

Now here's a concept that on paper seems completely unessential: a candle that, when melted, doubles up as a massage oil. It's probably not something that you've ever considered to be missing from your life, but let me tell you: massage candles are pretty amazing....

Weleda Espace: Some Peace in Paris…

Weleda Espace: Some Peace in Paris…

Earlier in the month I quickly hopped over to Paris to visit the Espace Weleda, a quiet little haven in the centre of the city, offering fragrant yet uncomplicated face and body treatments. My main purpose for the visit was actually to take the time to get to know the...

Rev-Me-Up Morning Oils! Wakey Wakey…

Rev-Me-Up Morning Oils! Wakey Wakey…

I tend to harp on about relaxation a lot. A lot. But this week I seem to have slipped into sluggish mode - I've hit my Christmas "wall" a few weeks early and want to do nothing more than lie under a pile of blankets and snooze. Not convenient when you are off to Paris...

Found Whilst Packing Up: NATIO Body Gloss

Found Whilst Packing Up: NATIO Body Gloss

Another little gem that I found when I was packing up to move house; Natio's Wellness Body Gloss. I've been using it constantly ever since - it's rather unusual texture was instantly appealing! I'd associate the words 'body gloss' with some kind of skin-finishing...

Bois d’Orange: Desperately Clinging on to Summer

Injecting some much-needed sunshine into this rainy week we have Roger & Gallet's Creme Sublime Or perfumed body cream and Huile Sublime Bois d'Orange nourishing oil. Just look at those beautiful honeyed colours! I took this photo in front of a wicker hamper to...

Found Whilst Packing Up: Rose with a Difference!

Found Whilst Packing Up: Rose with a Difference!

Two absolute beauty gems that I found when I was packing up my office. Both empty, actually, but I often hang on to empties to remind myself to repurchase! I have talked about the ILA Spa Bath Oil for Glowing Radiance before - it is just gorgeous. A very heady scent...

Vita Liberata Backstage at Temperley

Vita Liberata Backstage at Temperley

I have been using Vita Liberata's Illuminating Skin Finish for a good few months now - it was a permanent fixture on my bathroom shelf over the summer and I used it on my legs before loads of important events and parties. It is what it says it is - a skin illuminator...

Thing of Beauty: Angel Perfumed Body Cream

Thing of Beauty: Angel Perfumed Body Cream

Taken on face value, this is the kind of product I hate. A body cream in a novelty container that's part of a mainstream fragrance line. Blurp. However; make that a mainstream fragrance that is weirdly addictive, add it to a cream that has been formulated by the same...
