Temple Spa Facials at Southampton Harbour Hotel

Temple Spa Facials at Southampton Harbour Hotel

ᵃᵈ  A little bit of self care goes a long way! A well needed time out at the spa is restorative, relaxing and a little bit of luxury that can put you back together when you need it most.

Southampton Harbour Hotel now have luxurious Temple Spa treatments available at its spa and they invited me to a skin therapy workshop, something they call a Spa’rty!

Guided facials were the order of the evening and I left feeling calmer and with a very pampered, clean, glowing face.

The Lush life’s giving me a rush – discovering skincare at Lush!

The Lush life’s giving me a rush – discovering skincare at Lush!

From an early age my Nan would go on and on and on about how important it is to look after your skin. When I was eleven I really didn’t care but thank god Nan persisted and got me in the habit from an early age.

Over a decade later *ahem – it’s rude to ask someone’s age* my skin is in pretty good condition and I think part of that is down Nan’s skincare routine and her bloody amazing genes!

I’ve tried quite a few skincare products over the years and am always up for trying something new to keep my skin in good condition. As a relative newcomer to Lush I had no idea it has a skincare range and a pretty good one at that.

Recently I was invited by Lush for a full consultation* which not only taught me about the products but, has introduced a few new products into my daily skincare routine. Continue reading “The Lush life’s giving me a rush – discovering skincare at Lush!”

The Lush cream that’s a total dream for eczema

The Lush cream that’s a total dream for eczema

Hot weather, cold weather, snow, never ending rain and a miniature spring heat wave.

My skin has taken an absolute beating over the past few weeks from the roller coaster British weather.

The ups and downs have brought my eczema, which was under control, back and more aggressive than before.

However, it’s not all bad, I’ve got a little trick up I sleeve this year.

Want to know what’s brought it back under control?
