Back Safe and Sound

Having just come back from Russia, after yet another trip abroad, I feel in dire need of some relaxation. Moscow is a hectic melting pot of people, history and dust, so after two weeks in the metropolis, although feeling inspired, I am also feeling overwhelmed. Aromatherapy Associates is my fairy-godmother of beauty products and really soothes any ailment I have ever had. In this case, too many thoughts and of course, dreams. De-Stress Mind Bath oil will be in help me to focus. Wild camomile, petitgrain and frankincense will help me drift away to the days I spent in the countryside outside of Moscow with my grandparents.

And guess what? The pollution is no picnic for the skin either. So Aromatherapy Associates to the rescue again with their wonderful Revitalising Face Oil which contains that magic borage oil, which instantly hydrates even the driest of skins. Somehow, Moscow managed to dry out my skin, even in wet and damp conditions.

Oh well. Back to work. Back from Russia with love.

The Caring Side

 
After my bicycle accident a few months ago now, I feel much more conscious about the 'healing powers' of certain products. Although a lot of products claim to heal the skin, I find that few can live up to it. And having spoken with a specialist from Darphin a little while ago, discovered that actually very few products can really penetrate below the top layer of the skin.
Their serums, for example, go quite deep. But their oils, they go even deeper. And that's why they are such a powerful primer for serum and moisturiser on top.
I have been using the Tangerine oil for first signs of ageing for nearly a month now and can reveal a more bouncy and youthful skin. Plus, they smell so incredible that they will energise you when you apply too.
This aromatic care is indeed very caring for your skin.

Handbag Heroes

This weather is simply divine. And while I am waiting patiently for my wounds to heal (although I really do wish they would hurry up and heal quickly), I am taking pleasure from the little things. Sunshine on the windowsill, fresh fruit and the smell of summer in the air. And this painting by my boyfriend’s little sister always makes me feel so happy. The colours are immensely radiant.

And while I cannot really wear a lot of makeup while I skin is healing, I have to say these little aromatherapy roller-balls from Tisserand are fast becoming my favourite handbag heroes. They help to invigorate, energize and also calm and de-stress if a headache kicks in. Let the summer season begin.
Tisserand Roller Balls are only £5.25 each!
