Spring is Showery and Flowery

I forgot something from yesterdays post...

REN Guerande Salt Exfoliating Body Balm

I have an extreme hatred of oily body scrubs, the ones that make the water run off your body like a seal.  I have used this scrub for a while and really rate it.  Its texture is balmy, and can be used on wet or dry skin.  I use it on dry as I like a deeper exfoliation.  It leaves my skin feeling fresh and clean and moisturised.
It contains guerande sea salt, peppermint oil (which gives it a pleasant smell) and basil oil.
REN is a UK brand, focusing on "clean bio active skincare".  Clean meaning it uses non of the "bad" ingredients, such as petrochemicals, parabens, sulphates etc, all of which it helpfully lists on the packaging.  Bio active meaning that they use science and the latest discoveries in bio active formulations when developing their products.


Today I received a lovely little package in the post!  I get very excited about parcels, even when I am expecting them.  Simple things...  It was a Bliss Lemon & Sage Body Butter from the kind people at The Sunday Times Style Magazine to say thank you for voting their Style Beauty Awards.  It smells gorgeous, can't wait to try it.  It also says it is great for aching muscles, maybe it can fix my shoulders...

I discovered some amazing new flowers today, well they are new to me.  Sweet Williams, a totally on trend flower, how about that!  They look like they are from a wild meadow.

One more thing that has made me really happy today is this new discovery in the sandwich section of Waitrose, fresh pieces of coconut!  I adore coconut, in any form and this definitely satisfies a sweet tooth!  Pretty calorific, but definitely in a good way!
