Long Haul Travel: Onboard essentials

‘Travel is the only thing you spend money on which makes you richer’ This quote sums up how I feel about getting on a plane, whether it’s for work or a holiday, I always have a real sense of excitement booking a flight and then the morning of going to the airport. I’m fortunate that I’ve been on a lot of amazing trips and despite … Continue reading Long Haul Travel: Onboard essentials

What I bought in Paris

‘Paris is always a good idea’ Like all cities, it’s not perfect (my weekend happened to fall when the ‘Black macs’ set the Champs Elysees on fire and looted the shops) but there is something magical about the rooftops, bistros and boutiques that get me every time. But what really get me are the pharmacies- they are like a treasure chest of goodies. Although shops … Continue reading What I bought in Paris

Travel Skincare: A weekend

Last weekend I spent 48 hours in Spain. I was flying Ryanair which meant all I could take was about the clothes on my back and a packet of chewing gum, so I had to think hard about what products would make the cut into my washbag.

I finally took the plunge and got laser eye surgery after nearly 30 years of glasses and 20 years of contact lenses. I was in such great hands (literally!) with @allonbarsam and the @ocl_vision team.
This morning’s skincare from @theinkeylist and @thankyoufarmer keeping it light and simple.
Happy Friday! With the promise of Spring on the way I’m incorporating more ‘brightening’ products in the morning: the new cleanser from @theinkeylist with Fulvic Acid and Vitamin C. Never without some SPF and this @beautypie is almost done 😩however I have an exciting new one waiting to be tried ☀️
My skin is loving a face oil at the moment. The cold & hot air combo, lack of sunshine and general January greyness are welcoming this @beautypie treat especially when it has the word ‘miracle’ on the bottle. It’s a little green bottle of magic with phytosqualane, turmeric, brown algae & bakuchoil. Not greasy or oily at all, rather skin feels like it’s got a richer moisturiser on. #postyourpie
Love a liquid exfoliator and this glycolic acid toner from @theinkeylist is simple, effective and affordable. Had no irritation whatsoever and used if after the Oat balm cleanser and before the Multibiotic moisturiser both from the same brand 👌Skin was uber smooth the next morning like a 🍑

My 2020 Hero Products...
After 10 days of no makeup, a mask and copious amounts of dust, it felt really good to put some makeup on and feel a bit more ‘dressed up’. I finally used my @beautypie Wonder Palette which has beautiful colours for a glow and a bit of sparkle which is very much needed 💫
That moment before you start swatching a new palette....
