Pure Repair Hand and Nail Care with Margaret Dabbs London

As a brand, Margaret Dabbs is one I trust with my hand and nail care. It is a brand I have been lucky enough to get to know over the past 18 months or so and there has been some amazing products that has been released in that time. The latest launches, the Pure Repairing Hand Cream and Cuticle Oil are just divine.

The PURE Repairing Hand Cream is described as being 'a Hand Cream with a clear difference'. If your hands are in need of an intensive treatment then this is the cream that you might just need. 

The intensive repairing formulation with something called Pentavitin™, which is said to be a natural skin bioactive that brings dry and tired skin back to life by providing deep lasting hydration. Then we have Vitamin F Forte which helps to nurture, protect condition and soothe excessively dry, stressed skin and then we have the inclusion of Sweet Almond oil which works to soften and smooth the skin.

On the skin, this hand cream is incredibly luxurious, as I have come to expect from Margaret Dabbs as a brand, but it also absorbs really quickly and it feels so silky smooth without being greasy or slimy and it does leave your hands feeling so hydrated.

Looking after my cuticles is really something that I can never claim to be good at because I am just not. But since the PURE Cuticle Oil arrived, I have actually made the effort to use it.

Packaged inside a frosted roller-ball glass tube, the whole product has been designed to make using it easy and hassle free. The cuticle, which we all know is a really thin layer of skin at the bottom of your nail and its function is to protect new nails from bacteria when they grow out from the nail root. Cuticles and the surrounding area are delicate, and like other areas of the body, they can easily become dry, dehydrated or damaged if you don't look after them.  With its delicate rose and lemon scent, this vegan-friendly dry oil is infused with Jojoba Oil and Borage Seed Oil  which work to smooth, condition and hydrate the cuticles, whilst Bisabolol helps to soothe sensitive or irritated skin as well as split or damaged cuticles. 

As a duo, this hand cream and cuticle oil come together to create a great routine and they can be purchased as a duo or separately.

Sleep, Dream, Doze - Luxury Sleep Subscription Box

It is well documented on my blog and across my instagram stories that sleep is more often than not an enemy and it fights me, I try all kinds of lotions, potions and witchcraft measures to try and ensure that once I do get to sleep, I stay asleep and it comes with some success and vice versa. With that in mind, let me introduce to an incredible beauty box called Sleep, Dream Doze, a luxury sleep subscription box which I have been very lucky to have been sent.

I feature a lot of beauty boxes on my blog, I am a huge fan, from them I have been lucky enough to come across some amazing brands that might have never grabbed my attention.  Sleep, Dream Doze, which is co-founded by Aly Johnson and Clare Taylor who, in their own words explain the need for this box:

After 5 years and 5 children between us, we weren’t just sleepy-tired, we were exhausted - emotionally, physically, mentally. The crux of our problem? A lack of self care. Like so many before us, we were guilty of prioritising everyone else's needs ahead of our own - family, friends, work, clients, hell, even the dog!We were so focused on keeping everything (and everyone) together and running smoothly, that we let ourselves fall apart. 

We needed sleep and for someone else to take care of taking care of us. And knowing that we weren't alone in this, we created Sleep Dream Doze - the luxury sleep-focused subscription box.

So, as you can see, this is a box which has really had some thought put in to how it fits into a theme with a lot of personality and I feel so lucky and honoured to be able to share this journey.  Each box, comes really well packaged and everything is just so beautifully presented.  

Inside my box was the following:Up first we have The Magic of Sleep: A Bedside Companion by Michael Acton Smith and it is described as being the "ultimate handbook for healthy sleeping." Michael Acton Smith, OBE, is the co-founder of the hugely successful Calm app, which sounds like the app I need to be downloading. 

The book is absolutely stunning from cover to cover, with fascinating facts, life-changing tips and is said to be your solution to a better sleeping life, improving each of your waking hours.

The second product hiding inside this box comes from Perfect Chaos with their Lavender, Rosewood and Jasmine Himalayan Bath Salts (300g).

Described as being Reminiscent of a walk through the English countryside, these bath salts bring together a blend of Lavender, Rosewood and Jasmine which work together to promote calm, relieve stress, and aid sleep. Made with Himalayan salts and 100% essential oils to help relax muscles and aid restful sleep. 

The third product comes from Booming Bob with the Stress Relief & Balancing Facial Oil (30ml).   

This balancing facial oil is packed with a range of essential fatty acids - Omega 3,6 and 9 alongside vitamins A, B, D and E.  Added to that is the inclusion of carefully chosen natural oils such as olive oil, jojoba oil, argan oil and Shea butter. Then alongside evening primrose oil and rose geranium oil have been added to soothe the skin and reduce redness.  On the skin, this is a non-oily oil and it absorbs so quickly, leaving no trace behind.

The fourth product is from TenT Nutrition with their Natural Sleep Supplement. Described has been specifically designed using ingredients built to ensure you have a restful and regenerative sleep .

A blend of calming amino acids and essential minerals to help you enjoy deeper, more regenerative sleep. This is an all-natural and vegan-friendly.  I am yet to give these a try, but there has been a lot of rave reviews about how good they are.

Then finally, we have the HOLM (House of Lady Muck) Enough Of Your Cheek Candle and it genuinely just incredible.

This amazing hand poured Vegan candle, which as you can see, lives up to its name with its cheeky shape. It is an unscented decor candle which has been made from natural white soy wax with an organic cotton wick and because it is hand poured each one will have its own unique markings.

As mentioned, Sleep, Dream, Doze is a luxury sleep subscription box which has three different offerings of how to subscribe:

• Crescent - A rolling monthly subscription which is priced at £49 per month
• Half Moon - A 3 month subscription which is priced at £45 per month
• Full Moon - A 6 month subscription which is priced at £40 per month

As a first box, this has really impressed me and I absolutely love this box and I adore the contents that feature is inside.  You can find out more about this box right here, get some hints and tips on how to indulge in self care, why journaling is good and why everyone needs to sleep on silk!
