When Paradise Comes To You

While we, in the UK, teeter on the edge of spring, we are still getting little reminders that winter is not quite done with us yet.  The new buds and spring flowers give us all a little more hope of longer, sunnier and warmer days to come.

While we can have some glorious weather here, we all have out little dreams of some paradise island somewhere.  A shady spot.  A warm breeze.  The sea washing the sand from between our toes.  The sea air, intoxified with fragrant blossoms from downwind.  Well, I had a little taste of this and I know that paradise can actually come to you....

Melon Boat Bath Melts - Delectable Soap

A little package was delivered to my door the other day.  I didn’t know who it was from or what it was but the lovely, melony aroma that was escaping from the package was telling me that something lovely was inside. 

As soon as I opened the package, I was greeted with a burst of melon scent.  Inside was a gorgeous, shiny black box, finished with a silver trimmed ribbon.  It was then when I had a good idea who had sent it (I remember her saying about this ribbon).

Inside this lovely box, snuggled in green tissue paper were these gorgeous little bath melts.  Smelling delicious, looking delicious.  Aren’t they cute?!  I am so looking forward to using them (saving them for the weekend).

This is one of a wide range of similarly lovely products from a very lovely lady called Kelly Ellis, creator of emerging new business www.delectablesoap.com, which is set to go live next week.  I know that once she has everything in place, she is going to very successful indeed.  A huge, huge thank you to Kelly and I wish you every success as you grow your business x

New Video Review

I have had these soapies sitting here for a little while now, just waiting to be used.  Now that I have got around to finally using them, I thought it would be nice to do a video review (video reviews are so much easier to watch aren’t they?  They’re not so easy to produce, but that’s a whole other story, lol). 

               

They were kindly sent to me as a gift from Scent Trail (gosh… sometimes I feel so lucky).  So here’s my review.  Again, I am super nervous but I think I am ever so slightly more relaxed than the first video.  There’s also an accompanying written review if you prefer.

My Big Fat Tub Of Organic Skin Love!

From the second the lid came off, I was in a sweet, buttery heaven.  The recently launched Top To Toe body butter from ethical brand, Beyond Organic Skincare, is the haute cuisine of skin care.  A tub that hosts an A list, elite guestlist of natural, organic goodies, with vanilla and active alpine rose being the stars of the show. and together, these lovelies work in synergy to moisturise, protect and soothe the skin and reinforce it’s natural defences.

This butter has an unusual texture and an intriguing surprise upon application, which adds a new dimension to the experience.    Read the full review at Maboho World...

Glitter Bug

I have been feeling a little bit festive today.  I think it was because yesterday evening I went to Tesco got very sidetracked by the lovely sparkly baubles and Christmas decorations - ooh pretty!  That and my daughter (who is THE biggest Lush fan) is slathering herself in the sparkly Shimmy Shimmy & 'making' glittery stuff, so its Glitter City around here at the moment (that stuff gets everywhere doesn't it?).

Anyway, since I am a rather partial to a bit of sparkle and beginning to catch the festive bug, I spotted these lovelies and wanted to share them at Maboho World.....

Yomojo Mojo....

I have been lucky enough to able to try the Neroli Balm from Yomojo but before I talk about this, I would first like to introduce you to the creator behind the balm. 

Rajiv, one of the calmest and nicest guys you could wish to meet and has a strange way of transferring this vibe through the ether and onto others.  Without wishing to sound too ‘out there’ and I know that is does sound a bit strange but honestly, he’s a lovely guy with a great vibe and I swear that he gives each pot of balm a nice dollop of good karma.

Not only does Rajiv teach yoga but is also a Thai Yoga massage therapist and combines techniques based on yoga and Ayurveda working along the body’s energy lines.  Here’s a short video of him at work….
