Jasmine & White Frangipani Body, Room and Linen Spritz

I have a growing obsession with The Body Shop right now, it has been years since I have ventured into a store but just recently they have really caught my attention with the Banana range but whilst browsing instore, I came across the home fragrance section and had to hold myself back from not purchasing the entire range of candles and room sprays!  I love room sprays and my dream is to have the Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir Spray in my house, but in the meantime, this one will do.

The one scent I was definitely not leaving without, as well as most of the Banana range, was this Jasmine & White Frangipani Body, Room and Linen Spritz which is just beautiful.

Described as being a multipurpose spritz it can be used around the house, on the body or even on fresh linen to give it that little extra scent.   I absolutely love the scent of Jasmine and a lot of my favourite scents contain Jasmine as one of the notes.   What I love about this scent is how beautifully floral it is.  It uses Ylang Ylang and Cassis to provide the initial scent of the fragrance, so with this, you get a fruity scent from the Cassis which is almost blackcurrant but then the Ylang Ylang which brings in some floral tones.  However, for me, it is both Tuberose and Frangipani which are the dominant notes and work so well alongside the inclusion of Community Trade Organic Honey.

I use this spray in the lounge and in the bedroom daily and if I spritz it in the morning, by the time i get home from work, the scent still lingers which means it lasts for around 9 hours, much longer than other room sprays that I have tried.  I have also used it on freshly laundered towels as I hang them out to dry and the scent settles so well on them.  The only way I haven't used this spray is as a body spray.

For a 100ml bottle, this Jasmine & White Frangipani Body, Room and Linen Spritz retails for £7 and there are other scents available such as Pomegranate and Raspberry, Aloe and Soft Linen, Mandarin and Tangelo plus Green Tea and Lemon.

Infini Roses - The Real Roses which last a year

I absolutely love having fresh flowers at home, they brighten up the smallest of places and create the most amazing natural fragrances but the downside is, at best they only last for 7-10 days maximum. Some of my favourite flowers I choose for the scent - Sunflowers, Peonies and Roses for example, everything I grow in the garden alongside various tomato plants, another scent I just adore. The downside to flowers as well as how long they last is the cost, it can become quite an expensive to keep buying flowers, so what if I said there was a box of roses that you could purchase that could last an entire year? 

Infini Roses are a UK based retailer which specialise in real roses that last a whole year. All of their roses are picked at the point of perfection and naturally preserved to last for at least one year. 

At INFINI, we value quality and design above all else. Our team works passionately to provide unique and trending floral products without compromise. We also know that time is precious, so we made shopping simple. With an extensive range of styles and colours, you are bound to find what you need all in one place.

I was given the chance to try some of these roses for myself and with over 20 different shades of rose to choose from, the hardest part was that decision. In the end, I opted for the Classic Cube Box in black and it contains 9 real roses. Each rose undergoes an intricate and eco-friendly process to preserve the quality and beauty of the petals while living much longer than your average high street rose. I opted for the Aqua Marine shade of rose and it is just so stunning, as soon as I opened the package I was wowed by how vibrant the blue is against the black box.

With prices starting at £79 for a box collection, prices rise depending upon what it is you are looking for and likewise the boxes and roses are available in different sizes, shapes, finishes and with it comes the ability to ship worldwide.

I have had my roses for just under 2 weeks and given the heat we have just had, they have kept their shape, they haven't drooped or faded either, they look just fantastic. If like me you are not too green fingered and like easy flowers, then these Infini Roses are perfect because you don't need to trim the bottom, you don't need to water them, your only challenge is to keep them out of direct sunlight and high humidity.

These roses are just absolutely stunning and make such an incredible gift and if you love roses as much as I do, they also save you a whole lot of money over the year!

Discovering Tuscany

The weather right here in the UK currently is just stunning. It is the weather we all moan we want, but when it arrives we dream of living in the freezers of Asda to cool down. Secretly joyous that I am not abroad in Spain or Portugal like my work colleagues who cheerily went off for their Summer holiday assuming Blightly would just thrash us with rain and storms.

That said, those of us who haven't yet departed for the sunnier climates have been discussing where in the world we would like to visit.  The most surprising place being Italy that we all agreed we would love to revisit. One colleague hails from Italy and his parents run a hotel in Porto Ercole.  For me, I am drawn to Tuscany and there is so much choice when it comes to Tuscan holiday rentals that it caused a debate in the office as to which would be the most relaxing.

With its capital of Florence, a place from which my Grandmother was named, Tuscany is perhaps best known for its landscapes, traditions, history and of course its artistic legacy. What attracts me to this part of the world, other than for the fine wine and pasta is the culture and there are so many things I want to see and do.

I have a weird fascination with churches and graveyards and can spend hours just wandering around looking at the architecture and one building that really does capture my attention is the dome that covers the Florence cathedral (the church of Santa Maria del Fiore) is known as Filippo Brunelleschi’s dome. Described as being one of the most iconic sites across Florence due to the red-tiled cupola which can be seen dominating the skyline.

Photo Credit - Florence Inferno

Inside the Dome, it is just as stunning and painted back in 1572 by Giorgio Vasari and it is said the best place to truly take everything in, is to climb to 463 steps right up to the interior of the dome.

If you are a fan of James Bond, then Siena is the place to visit because there are some scenes from The Quantum of Solace you might recognise.  For me, the draw is the Medieval connection which sees the layout of the Piazza look almost like an outdoor theatre. Equally, if it is medieval brick buildings as well romanesque-gothic cathedrals that you are looking for then Siena has it all.  

Image Credit - OperaDuomo

Inside the Duomo in Siena is a Library, the Piccolomini Library and if that isn't kooky enough for you, the Cathedral which holds work by Donatello, Bernini and Michelangelo, has an exterior and interior which are decorated in white and greenish-black marble in alternating stripes, black and white being the symbolic colours of Siena.

Then there is Pisa, the one place in Italy I have been too and it was long before my days of blogging and social media. Pisa is, of course, best known for its iconic Leaning Tower and it was only when I visited that I learnt that the tower was already tilting when it was completed in 1372. Standing in front of the tower is quite something and as well as being a place to take some funny photographs, which you only have Google, you can also climb the steps inside, which I did. 

Image Credit - Discover Tuscany

It is at the midway point whilst climbing the 284ish steps that you appreciate just how much it leans. The steps are quite narrow and if heights and small spaces are not your thing, then this most definitely will not be either. But, once you get to the top of the tower the view is quite something as you can see right across Pisa and into the surrounding hills.  Whilst I was in Pisa, I also spent some time in both the Cathedral and the Baptistery but whilst wandering we also came across a cemetery known locally as Camposanto Monumentale and it was quite by accident that we stumbled across it. Referred to as the Holy Land it is said that the cemetery had been built upon the soil brought from Golgotha, which, if you know anything about religion and the Bible, is the site reputed to be located right outside the walls of Jerusalem, where the Christ was crucified. However, more fascinating than that and perhaps something I will never forget is a local tour guide who told us that the legend has it that at this burial ground it is claimed that anybody buried in it will dissolve in only 24 hours. Now I don't know whether or not this is true, but it is a piece of information that I have never forgotten in over ten years!

As much as love the history, the culture and the cathedrals to look round, for me, a holiday is all about the sea. I've made no secret of the fact that I am at my calmest when I am beside the sea, perhaps there is some truth in being ruled by your star sign (Cancerian by the way) especially as I am a water sign.  Tuscany is said to have over 19 beaches and with it come some of the most beautiful seasides I've seen in a long time and places such as Viareggio which also boasts one of the biggest carnivals in Italy, Livorno which doubles up as a Port or Portoferraio but for me it would have to be Orbetello which is located in the middle of the lagoon and it is currently where one of my friends is spending the next 15 days and her Instagram updates are incredible. Said to be geographically unique, Orbetello is famous for its long beaches and beautiful bay, so whether you want white sand or beach dunes, there is a beach to suit absolutely everyone. 

So whether you have been on holiday, are going on holiday or can't decide whether to holiday or not, I would love to know if Tuscany has ever featured in your places to visit or want to visit list.

Without question, I am still one of those people who loves beauty boxes and I still find them as much fun now as I did when I first started blogging, only now there is a lot more choice than there used to be and here is Feelunique showing just that.

Tips and tricks to grooming

Beards have been undergoing a revival for the last couple of years, and while they can look stylish when well cared for there will come a time, and heat when the beard has to go. But, how do you banish a lengthy beard while avoiding shaving rash, bumpy irritation and razor burn after months of shunning your shaver? Well I managed to go from this to this and if it is something you are thinking about, want the man in your life to think about or maybe even do...Read on….

Step One

First things first, trying to shave a beard directly off your face when it has some length to it is a no-no. The first step has to be to take the beard right back down to the skin leaving just a stubble. A beard trimmer or electric shaver is ideal for this and you can’t go wrong with a range of models to suit any budget, such as this Blade Shaver from Panasonic.

Step Two 

Before shaving take a warm shower to open up the pores in your face and soften the stubble. By doing this it should make it easier for your razor to cut each hair, giving a closer and more comfortable shave.

Step Three

Gently exfoliate your neck and beard area. By using an exfoliator with beads or grit like grains in a circular motion you can free any ingrown hairs and wash away any grime from the pores. This should leave a smoother surface for the razor to pass over and in theory reduce any cuts.

Step Four

Apply a shaving cream or gel of choice - from my experience, using a low lather gel or cream results in a better shave as the razor glides better over the face and doesn’t clog as much leaving stripes that require further attention.

Step Five

Make sure you have a fresh, sharp razor. There is no point following these steps if you are going to attempt to shave using a razor that has all of the sharpness of a blunt butter knife. The sharper the blade, the fewer passes of the beard area that are required.

Step Six

When shaving don’t press too hard and avoid shaving against the direction of hair growth. Going against the direction of growth results in hairs being cut at differing lengths encourages ingrown hairs and that my readers are the main cause of the redness and itchy feeling.

Step Seven

Rinse off any remaining shaving gel or cream with cold water. Not only does this spank you wide awake but it also serves to close the pores. Using a post-shave balm, cream or serum is a crucial step, it helps to replenish your skin’s natural moisture and keep any skin irritation at bay.

I am lucky that my wife likes the beard, it took a good 7-8months to go from a 5-O'clock shadow to a fully grown beard and having now shaved it off, I do miss it, brushing it became something I did when relaxing, but then I think what I would have had to put up with in this insane heat, travelling on the tube twice a day and realise it was actually a very clever and astute move! To keep up to date with my beard and where it grows, you can find my blog right here.

L'Occitane Terre de Lumière L’Eau

If you like your floral perfumes then Terre de Lumière L’Eau from L'Occitane is the perfect addition to your fragrance wardrobe.  Sitting within the Oriental Floral family, this is perfect for a hot Summer's Day because it is not overpowering, not overly musty and not overly sweet.

One thing I love about fragrances from L'occitane is the description given to the scent and for this one, it goes like this:

Luminous and exhilarating, Terre de Lumière L’Eau is a tender floral eau de toilette that breathes femininity. 

It’s the scent of daybreak, that beautiful moment when the sun’s rays emerge gently over the horizon. Inspired by Provence at first light, the serene notes of this tender, floral fragrance evolve slowly, giving each accord the time to reveal itself fully, like the unfolding dawn…

Terre de Lumière L’Eau opens with the notes of Bergamot, Pink Pepper and Blackcurrant which give it quite a fruity hit and just as it settles, the middle note of Pink Peony re-energises the floral side of the scent and gives it, for me, that wow factor and then the base notes of Bitter Almond Essence, Tonks Bean and White Musk turn this fragrance into the most beautiful light floral fragrance which has amazing longevity on my skin.

The bottle which takes on an Ombre pattern with a sold white section at the top is circular in shape and when it captures the light, it does create a rainbow.  Terre De Lumiere has a special meaning for L'Occitane and it is quite a beautiful description:

As the day draws to a close, the sky is set alight, embracing all the shades of gold. Beauty is suspended in time as this stunning spectacle reaches its height. This is the golden hour. Meaning "land of light", L'OCCITANE's new collection is inspired by the special time of day in Provence known as the golden hour... A short moment at dusk as the sun falls and the sky fills with golden and purple light. The air is filled with the most fragrant Provençal scents.

As well as Terre de Lumière L’Eau, the L'Occitane fragrance collection is quite extensive and well worthy of looking into here. For this scent, it comes in two sizes 50ml (£49) and 90ml (£65).

Mintd Box - 2nd Birthday

July is my favourite month (because it is my birthday month) and today I am sharing with you the second birthday beauty box from Mintd which you might have seen the full reveal of HERE on my Instagram not too long ago.

For a beauty box to make it to a second year it is quite an achievement and there is something a little special about Mintd box and that is that it is a monthly / bi-monthly luxury beauty subscription which sends to you a carefully curated selection of 4-5 full/deluxe sized luxury beauty products from exceptional luxury brands. Products across the skincare, makeup and haircare spectrum are carefully selected and handpicked from a broad section of innovative, exclusive and luxury that there is out there.

So to mark the second birthday there are four amazing brands from which there are four amazing products which are: 

Sunday Riley Ceramic Slip Clay Cleanser (£35) - Sunday Riley is a brand I have been wanting to try for some time now. Everyone I know who uses any of the products is a huge fan and cannot promote them enough. Described as being a lightly foaming cleanser which contains a cocktail of vitamins, minerals & essential oils to tone and balance normal to combination skin.

So you will find ingredients such as French green clay and Moroccan rhassoul clay which work to gently lift away excess oil without drying out the skin. There is also the use of neroli essential oil and the powerful antioxidant vitamin C. Black pepper helps to boost the circulation as well as helping to rejuvenate tired skin and finally the use of frankincense which works to promote cellular regeneration to give a firmer and smoother face with visibly reduced pores. The luxurious gel formula calms and soothes irritated skin, bringing back balance and brightening the complexion.

Omorovicza Rose Lifted Serum (£90) - This is one of my favourite brands and this happens to be a product I hadn't yet tried. Described as being a luscious healing skincare product, it screams luxury and this is something I love about the brand.

The formula for this serum is really lightweight and uses natural ingredients to leave the skin feeling soothed and rejuvenated.  The use of natural sea mayweed works to relax muscles, smoothing expression lines and wrinkles, then we have Ruby crystals which give the skin an instant youthful glow so the complexion is left looking radiant and revitalised and of course there is the Hungarian Thermal Water which is used in every product from Omoroviza for its mineral-rich content.

Oskia Skincare Renaissance Mask (£51) - Described as being a spa in a jar this Renaissance Mask by Oskia is simply divine. A buttery balm that increases skin radiance and minimises the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles, it is formulated with beauty-boosting nutrients and essential vitamins and minerals that enhance cell turnover.

This mask works to even out and brighten the complexion by reducing melanin production, leaving skin feeling fresh, re-energised and youthful. Initially pink in colour, once applied to the skin the mask turns white once signifying the product has been applied effectively. What I love about this mask is the texture and how it makes my skin feel as I apply it and then after using, my skin feels so hydrated.

The final product in the box is the De Mamiel Dewy Facial Mist (£14.10) - Described as being a serum that works like a facial mist, this unique serum is formulated with essential oils so that the skin is repaired and protected, and the mind and body are calmed for an overall sense of well-being.

Ever since I started using this I have become quite obsessed with it. It can be used at any time of day - perfect in the morning for awakening the skin after cleansing, as a quick refresh mid-afternoon, to refresh your makeup before a night out or even to be used before bedtime to soothe.  It lightly coats the skin rather than drenching and it smells just incredible.

This is one incredible box,  The value of this box is an incredible £190.10 but it can be yours for just £70 which includes free delivery within the UK but it is also available for worldwide shipping. If you want more information about previous boxes and more details about the subscription services on offer right here.  There is currently an offer of a free Omorovicza Oxygen Booster should you signup to 3, 6 OR 12 Month plans.

Peach My Cheeks Blush - These cream-to-powder blushes are just beautiful to look at and what I like about them is that they are easy to blend for that touch of colour, or should you want to make a statement they can be built up to do just that. As well as being used on the cheeks, you can also use them as a lip tint too.  Six shades in total within the collection and they are priced at £25.

Sweetie Pie Bronzer - Have you ever seen such a beautiful product in your life? If blushes are really not your thing, then this has absolutely everything!

Priced at £20.

The final product is the Primed and Peachy Cooling Matte Perfecting Primer - This is a cooling primer which works to helps to blur flaws and smooth complexion. Using a brightening peach tint that works on any skin tone for a soft focus finish, it is not only lightweight but also comfortable on the skin and much like everything else in this collection it smells good enough to eat! Priced at £27.

Without question, this is one incredible launch and from the packaging to the scent it is just stunning, but there is something else about this collection which makes me swoon and that is how everything works so well on my skin, how it feels and currently I can't even pick my favourite product from this collection!

REN Magnesium Booster Bath Salts

My favourite range so far from REN is the Atlantic Kelp and Magnesium range (review here) which has a collection of products from bath oils and body scrubs to body washes and hand cream which has the ability to brighten and de-stress skin, boosting vitality and luminosity while calming the mind.

New to the Atlantic Kelp and Magnesium range comes the Booster Bath Salts and I this is the product which has excited me most! Anyone who reads my blog will know that I love baths and I love bath salts, they are totally underrated. For me, being in water is one of the best ways to calm down, de-stress and forget about life.

How can Magnesium help? Magnesium salts from the Zechstein sea that help to relax muscle tension, relieve stress and prepare the body for sleep.  When used in the form of bath salts, they are described as being a Magnesium boost for a restoring and relaxing bath to help relieve muscle tension and promote mind relaxation for a more peaceful sleep. Before using the range, I would have rolled my eyes at such claims, but I am a total convert and these bath salts are just incredible. 

Once the bath water is running, you need no more than three handfuls of the salts, which are fairly large flakes, and scatter them across the water and then slide into this heavenly bath and relax for around 20-30 minutes.  When I use these salts, for an extra treat I add a capful of  Ren’s Atlantic Kelp and Microalgae Anti-Fatigue Bath Oil which is formulated with seaweed oil extract to moisturise and tone the skin, this oil also helps to combat fatigue by detoxifying and relaxing both your body and mind.  I have an incredibly busy and stressful job, as well as running a home, being a wife and blogging as a hobby, so sometimes life does get on top of me and I need a little time out and some definitely some 'Me time' and with this is the perfect way in which to do just that.  

Available now from SpaceNK, these salts are simply incredible and are worth absolutely every single penny of the £28 for 750g and I've got a back up ready and waiting for when I run out.
