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...
Is it weird that I would wear Piz Buin's suncare as a perfume? I'll elaborate: I have actually considered wearing their sprays and lotions ON DAYS WHERE I AM FULLY CLOTHED just to benefit from the exotic fragrance that they are (some might say quite overpoweringly)...
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...
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...
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....
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
