Everyday Essentials

I'm a low maintenance kinda girl,  I tend to find beauty essentials I love & stick with them -
I do mix it up now and again, but predominantly the product is the same, 
just the brand that changes.

Skincare

I use my Clarisonic three times a week when I am being good with a cheap Aldi Facewash. When not using the Clarisonic I use Kiehl's Facecare - my love of which I've documented here - facial wash, followed by pore minimiser & finishing with moisturiser.

Body care

I'm currently using Sanctuary Spa Orange Bar, followed by their moisturiser

but at weekend I use my REN Moroccan Rose Otto bodywash & oil 
(my secret feel special treat!)

During the day I tend not to wear scent. If I am going out wearing perfume 
I will shower in non-scented Sanex.

Tanned Limbs

This year I am tanned but if I wasn't my go to is Dove. 
I tried Natio before my holiday which smelt deliciously of tangerine and cinnamon, 
good enough to eat ;-) and gave a natural glow

Haircare

Cheap and cheerful, followed by Moroccan oil on the ends, a spritz of 
L'oreal Salt Spray and a blast with a hairdryer and I'm good to go!!

Nailcare

Love Opi Polish - I have these in a few colours but tend to stick to the same one and buy 
similar colours of a different brand - only the toes.....

Make-up

My everyday desert island product is mascara. Currently Avon which I'm quite impressed by but really want to try  Benefit They're Real - currently the UK number 1 mascara.

I always wear a tinted moisturiser as I really can't stand the feeling of foundation on my face. The Kiehl's one pictured has an SPF of 50 too.

To add some colour to my very pale skin it's the infamous Bobbi Brown in Powder Pink.

Handcare

It has got to be The White Company Blanc Handcream which I totally adore. 

I slather it on as I leave for work and spend my journey breathing in the scent....

it has become a calming, soothing ritual that I look forward to!!! 

If I could afford to have one in every room I would!

Lips

Habitual wearer of lipcare - one in nearly every bag, pocket, drawer.....

Absolute favourite Burt's Bees Natural Lipcare!

Home Scent

Got to be  Neom Candles - light whilst getting ready for a night out! ;-)

I hope you've enjoyed this post - I enjoyed putting it together!

Holidays...

...conjure up different images for people, for some the pure relaxation of lying on a beach, reading and sipping cocktails, others visiting historic monuments & famous sights, others the entertaining of children. 

Then there are your full on activity holidays which leave you with a tired but healthy body and mind and for some a sense of achievement. This is what I am hoping for :-)

My ideal holiday would be a mixture of all three!

So although I am about to start a cycling holiday tomorrow I have  incorporated a little bit of luxury for myself. 

We will be staying in nice accommodation each night, enjoying a good meal, each others company & a cheeky glass of something refreshing or two!

 My attire for the day will be something like this complete with padded bottom...

 I shall be taking my REN Moroccan Rose Otto body wash and oil with me for a decadent treat when I finish for the day. This is so gorgeous, a real treat!

 I have applied a lovely OPI varnish to my toes in Purple-opolis and shall be heading out in a while for eye brow threading and dye.

A girl has to have some luxuries - would you agree?

I am going to try to update as I go on my adventure :-)
