Yves Rocher Summer Spree

Why aren’t there more Yves Rocher shops in the UK!? It drives me nuts there’s only one in the whole country in Marylebone, London Central. If you’re not familiar with the brand, they’re a very comfortable cross between The Body Shop and Avon. Their products are wildly underrated, providing excellent efficacy, with good formulations and natural ingredients – topped off with excellent prices.

Travel Essential: Aveda Sun Care Hair and Body Cleanser

Since I was 11, I’ve been very lucky that my parents owned a house in eastern Spain in between Alicante and Valencia. For the last 15 years or so, I’ve gone out there at almost every given opportunity and for as long as I can remember, we’ve had a bottle of Aveda Sun Care Hair and Body Cleanser there.

Clinique For Men Maximum Hydrator Activated Water-Gel Concentrate Reviewed

Released in the core Clinique collection as the pink-coral coloured Moisture Surge Hydrating Supercharged Concentrate, the new Clinique For Men Maximum Hydrator Activated Water-Gel Concentrate (phew) is what I’d describe as a ‘heavy gel’ for normal/combination skin types.

Penhaligon’s Portraits collection paints a bizarrely fictional representation of British aristocracy through a series of unique period-inspired character fragrances. Sohan is one of these Portrait characters and this “Merchant of Alexandria” bears the Indian name of charming and handsome.

Code of Conduct: Armani Code Collection Roundup

I have become an almighty fragrance snob and it’s bad, bad form – I’m not like that with skincare, so why fragrance? Just because a fragrance doesn’t come from a niche boutique or formulated with moss from the west valleys of the Tibetan Plateau, doesn’t mean it isn’t worthy of praise. Armani Code are those fragrances that aren’t particularly daring but at least two of them are bloomin’ gorgeous.

Asthma accessories that’ll take your breath away

Last November I was finally formally diagnosed with Asthma which I’ve pretty much known I’ve had since I was a kid. All is going exceptionally well as I’ve been put on Ventolin and Clenil and have already seen so many other symptoms such as acute hayfever and eczema clear up.
