[ownbrand] Spring has sprung and I’m celebrating the joy of sunshine (sometimes!) and the scent of fruity blossom with a brand new cloud – Yuzu & Nashi Pear. This little cleansing balm bar has the mighty power to make you smile while treating your skin with the gentlest of touches. I’ve had such great feedback…

[unpaid/sample] Last year, the re-release of Jo Loves Mango Thai Lime fragrance brought some much needed olfactory colour to my world – I remember being so happy when it arrived because at the time, nothing much was and everything was difficult. It’s such a vibrant fragrance, full of promise and energy that will make you…

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] We’re not using sanitizer at quite the same level that we were here – we are still being mindful about hand washing and sanitizing when coming back into the house, but out shopping it’s a different matter. I feel completely duty-bound to sanitize when I enter a shop and if you’re going to several…

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I have tulips draped over the top of Decleor Romarin Daily Hand Wash Scrub because I dropped it and smashed the lid – so if you think it’s a little smothered in flowers, that’s why! It’s not a new product but I think it has recently taken on the name ‘romarin’ in place of…

[unpaid/sample] If you’re in the mood for a little luxury, new US based brand, Isa Lazo will pique your curiosity. Developed by mother and daughter duo, Isabel and Heather, Isa Lazo uses considered natural ingredients to create deliciously rich and effective products. The Body Scrub had me at hello! It’s a fusion of sugar and…

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I’ve no idea how I missed this clever little duo from Jo Loves which launched last year. It’s my very favourite Jo Loves fragrance, Pomelo, and combines hand cream and sanitizer in one tube. It’s a bit of a mystery why there isn’t a Pomelo hand wash (my default is Orange Blossom by Jo…

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I cannot remember the last time I used a bath bomb – but here we are! I might have mentioned my love of yoga (don’t worry, I know I have over-mentioned it) and while I’m not doing anything so impossibly bendy that I require a hot bath and lie down after every session, it’s certainly…

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] It’s high time the Olverum franchise expanded – and here we are with the new body polish. Olverum has a bit of a cult following for its smack of bracing and nostril clearing eucalyptus. Actually, fun Thursday fact, I just Googled whether koalas smell of eucalyptus because its their main diet and apparently, yes…

[unpaid/sample] If you love the scent of lemongrass, which manages to be both fresh and earthy at the same time, you have a treat in store. I didn’t know this Danish brand until I tried both the Body Wash and the Body Lotion and am so impressed at the level of fragrance as well as…

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] February has been a tricky month, weather-wise. One minute we are full on winter and the next it feels almost like summer. But, there is still a nip in the air (at least where I am) and a hot bath feels like the right way to round off the day. New launch, The Gardeners…

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I’m going to let you into my #lockdown brain – I was just utterly convinced that this was a body oil – I know it says Pillow Mist quite clearly on the bottle but my brain read Body Oil so I very liberally sprayed myself with it before deciding it was one of the…

[ownproduct] Whew! It’s taken a while, but at last, we are back in stock at Victoria Health. Gill has the patience of a saint, while we smoothed out issues, sourced ingredients and battled with lockdown. But, here we are. The truth is that they sold out so unexpectedly fast last time around that keeping up…

[unpaid/sample] It feels like ages since I’ve had a room spray – I think the last one may have been Mio’s Liquid Yoga – but as a deliberate act of improvement, I’m very happy spritzing away as long as the scent is right. Which it is, in this case. It’s from Chilcott Botanicals – a…

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] To be honest, before I started yoga, I might have thought this new lifestyle brand from Alicia Keys a little too woo for my tastes. There’s a lot of light bringing and affirmations. These days though, I say, each to their own and if an affirmation a day keeps the gloom away, it’s all…
