Budget Week

(I know these aren't all budget - it's just an example!)

Ah the time is upon us. A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned on Instagram that I would be having a week dedicated to budget products in February.
So starting today, I will be posting as many reviews as possible on budget products, and using as many as possible in my routines.
I'm actually still shopping during the week with an aim to make it a more regular thing going forward on the blog, so if you do have any particular favourites, please let me know in the comments and I'll try and get to as many as I can.
I'm also interested in what you consider the upper limits £$-wise for budget skincare. I know what I think, but what do you think?

Watch this space!

Questions for the Doc?

WE HAVE HUNDREDS OF QUESTIONS THANK YOU EVERYONE!!

A quick one. I'm filming tomorrow with one of the top dermatologists in the UK. If you have any questions that you would like answered, please do leave them in the comments below and I'll try and put as many to the doc as possible for inclusion in the YT video.

Thanks all!

Choice Books - Food. Jamie Oliver's Comfort Food

Well it IS Sunday. I meant to put this up before Christmas but the book was always in the kitchen (being used) and it went out of my head...so without further ado....

If you're a foodie, you'll probably already have this, if you don't, you must check it out.

Back before Christmas, Jamie held a tasting at his store in Notting Hill for bloggers and press - tasting all of the dishes on the night was an amazing opportunity and meeting the man himself only reassured me that he is exactly the same in the flesh as he is on screen.

Full to the brim of completely achievable, delicious looking food, Comfort Food, as always contains the brilliant photography of David Loftus, who has worked with Jamie for years.

What's good/not so good about it?
I bloody love this moisturiser. I picked it up in an Ulta last year when I was in the States and luckily I bought more than one. It's a body moisturiser - it's not going to set the world alight, but it feels amazing, absorbs brilliantly and smells UH-MA-ZING. As you will no doubt know if you watch my YT vids, I am all about the smell, and this is just summer in a bottle for me. It's a great lotion, it smells great, that's about it. If you have an Ulta near you, go smell it on my behalf please.....

Essence of Beauty Citrus Coconut is $5.99 and available at Ulta and CVS.com- the usual suspects...
