Bird Print Buys...

I am so glad bird print is top trend this season because I just LOVE it. It's super cute and can really add some personality to an outfit. Back in June I bought a gorgeous nude dress with colourful birds on from Dorothy Perkins for a holiday to Ibiza (below) and I am so happy it will be coming out of the wardrobe again soon!

Scrub Me Beautiful…

If like me your skin has suffered over the winter and is looking scaly and feeling dry a good body scrub can revitalise skin giving it a glow and leaving it silky smooth. I love body scrubs, particularly sugar and salt ones as I love the feeling of them in my hands. My current three favourite scrubs are a mix of natural, Organic and prices…

Vanilla Sugar Organic Body Scrub, £26 from Lulu & Boo

This luxurious, moisturising and Organic body scrub from Cardiff based luxury skincare company, Lulu & Boo Organics and is simply divine. It smells gorgeous and removes dead skin cells whilst improving skin tone and you don’t need to use a moisturiser after – it is that good! You can really see and feel the difference after using this scrub for a few weeks.

Along Came Betty Say You'll Scrub Me Polish, £3.99 available from Tesco

Along Came Betty is a new brand available exclusively through Tesco - I picked it up as it was on special offer and decided to give it a whirl. It’s a think and creamy scrub with no real scent but leaves skin feeling soft. A great scrub for under £5.

Ginger, Lime & Lemon Body Scrub, £14.95 from Just Soaps of the Earth

I just love the zesty scent of this totally natural body scrub from Just Soaps of the Earth – its fab to use in the morning as the scent really wakes you up! The soothing and natural Dead Sea Salt Body Scrub deep cleanses skin leaving it looking healthy, soft and smooth. This is a great scrub and available in Orange & Lavender too.

What is your favourite body scrub?

Hello 2012!

I welcomed 2012 in with fireworks, too much wine, falling on my behind and the resolve to lose weight, save money and drink in moderation. But for me resolutions are something that I break as soon as the craving for a domino’s pizza (mines a Texas BBQ please) and glass of pinot take hold. So this year, I have decided my New Year resolution should be something I might have a hope in following though and thought I would start a blog.

I love all things fashion and beauty, so you can expect to read about my favourite fashion finds, beauty that has got me buzzing and my general ramblings about this, that and the other.

I hope you will enjoying reading my blog and I would love to hear your comments too.

Love, Louise x
