A while back I was asked by a reader (the lovely Sue!) whether I could recommend a rose-scented bath milk. I racked my brains, because I couldn't think of one that I had recently used, but then I remembered the ila-Spa bath oil. This one has a little bit of a special...
I did a written post a while back about how I prepared for a lingerie casting, and once the archives have been rebuilt I shall link to that from this page. But I thought I'd also do a video - mostly because the Youtubers have been naggling for one and I thought that...
Oh! Is what I said, when I used this body wash last night. I would have said more, but I’m not in the habit of talking aloud to myself (much) and so I thought it instead. Why, I thought, this is a splendid little shower gel! Not really a shower gel, of course, because...
I have just finished my Lavera Rose Garden Bath Oil and can say, categorically, that it’s brilliant. You need very little to scent a large bath and the 100ml bottle costs just £8.95! A definite, definite re-purchase, this one. It may not look like the flashest bottle...
I have been meaning to mention this for a while: be careful when using regular cellulite creams last thing at night. I find that they really keep me awake and then I sleep badly! It took me ages to realise that it's probably the masses of caffeine that's packed into...
I must have the hardest water in London because hardly anything foams up in my bath. I'm trying to actually remember the last thing I used that created any bubbles - I simply can't think what it could have been! Bubble baths and foams just seem to fall completely flat...
I used this in my bath last night: It was a single-use sachet, 80g of fragranced sea salts and it was £2.35 well spent! I know that single sachets of anything are never that cost effective, but I'm drawn to them because they're perfect for taking away to hotels and on...
Having a new kitten means that I am diddling about with gross things more often. Litter tray, poop scoop, smelly cat food. (Nobody tells you just how stinky cat food is, do they?) Obviously I wash my hands after I did any of the aforementioned gross things, but I...
Boots have an amazing one litre version of the Soap & Glory Righteous Body Butter at the moment. It's £25, which is a nice bulk-buy saving, but it's limited edition so if you're up for re-stocking, get in there fast! The butter is a rich, unctuous body treat that...
Posh gift alert: anything that comes with a wooden honey utensil is posh in my books. A nice added touch! I think that the Almond Coconut Milk range is marvellous - not too 'totally tropical taste' as some coconut fragrances can be. There's a fragrance, a body...
There seems to be a rising trend for all things pomegranate - am I right, there, or is it just me? I have asked more than a few people recently about their fragrance and they have all been wearing Jo Malone's Pomegranate Noir. Crabtree & Evelyn have launched a...
I was looking forward to the 'oohs' and 'aahs' when I showed this Crabtree & Evelyn set off in the upcoming Gift Guide videos, but then I saw that it was on offer at Escentual so I have quickly cobbled together a post! I have taken a quick snapshot of the vanity...
