Wild Ferns and Pecksniff's - Manuka honey and mandarin

I am loving these 2 products at the moment - Pecksniff's Hand Wash and Wild Ferns Manuka Honey Facial Scrub.



  First I will talk about Wild Ferns Facial Scrub

This is a gentle scrub containing pure active Manuka honey. Manuka is a flowering tea tree native to New Zealand. The honey that is collected from these flowers has long been renowned for its remarkable beneficial properties - antibacterial properties including an enzyme that produces hydrogen peroxide, which is a proven antiseptic. It is extremely rich in proteins, vitamins and minerals and has the outstanding ability to nourish, soothe and heal sensitive skin. Manuka honey also contains active antioxidants that neutralise free radicals which are responsible for skin cell damage. Manuka honey assists in the growth of new cell and tissue regeneration.

I was using L'Oreal Paris Dermo Expertise Clean Wash before but as I had run out I thought I would try something different. I was looking around Amazon and noticed Wild Fern and their amazing Manuka honey skin care products. I have heard so many good things about Manuka honey so I thought I'd order something.

I paid £11 for 100ml. It is not the real price, as I was looking around some New Zealand online shops and the face scrub itself costs around £5. If ordered from overseas and including all postage & tax, it would probably come to this full amount I paid. I just wanted to get it quickly - it arrived in 2 days.

I have used it 3 times now (I am using it twice a week) and I can say it is ideal for my skin. I have quite a mixed skin type - some parts of my face are oily and some extremely dry, which sometimes can make my skin flakey and cracked. This scrub is opening my pores and cleaning them thoroughly, removing oil deposits and helping to prevent pimples. It makes my skin's surface silky smooth and soft. 

A very good thing about this product is that you don't need much, a little drop is enough to do the work.


 

 




The other cleansing product I bought was Pecksniff's hand wash. I didn't think that it would surprise me that much. All other soaps leave my hands dry after washing (meaning I have to cream them often) but this one here is amazing! It leaves my hands moisturised, soft and delicately fragranced. Gentle and effective! I bought it from TKMaxx for £5.

Kayla Itsines Bikini Body Guide - Starting again

The last time I posted about my workout regime was in November last year when I started the Kayla Itsines BBG healthy eating plan and 12 week workout sessions. I think I got up to week 4 before I lost my motivation because of illness and Christmas. My friend Marianne and I started BBG again on the 5th of January with thousands of other girls and joined #thekaylamovement and #kaylasarmy to share our journey along this painful but exciting path.  You can read my first post about the BBG programme here as I am explaining a bit more on how I 'found' Kayla and how the training works.  I have done BBG for 5 weeks now (the first 2 weeks we did pre-training) and I'm feeling quite positive. I've not seen much progress myself - I still have my weak areas like tummy, bum and thighs. I do feel much stronger though! I'm doing all of the workouts properly, I have strength in my legs and arms - it is quite easy to do 10 push ups and continue with triceps and mountain clim...

The Body Shop Manchester Arndale Bloggers Event

I've been blogging for almost two years now but I'd still consider myself a newbie in the blogging world. On Thursday I had the chance to go to my first bloggers event at The Body Shop in Manchester to celebrate the release of an amazing new range on the 5th of May, including new bronzing items and a couple of vitamin C products! I was wearing my butterfly bow-tie brooch to the event and styled it with a white short sleeved shirt. It was a closed door event, so it was a good opportunity to browse all of the products and explore the new ones thoroughly! The event started at 8pm and I was one of the first ones to arrive. We were welcomed with milkshakes, fruit cocktails and lemonade. I went for water - shy and modest! There was also a white chocolate fountain and strawberries we had the chance to enjoy. The event was carried out by Fiona - she is a skin expert at the Manchester store. Everyone was able to get personal skin consult...

Lilla Rose Flexi Clips

  Today I want to talk a bit about my hair and my recent purchase from a company called Lilla Rose . Lilla Rose is a unique hair and jewellery accessory company from the US. They have many different hair items but I was more interested in their beautiful and well-known Flexi Clip. I got myself two of these - Autumn's Delight in size small and Festive Leaf in extra small. Before ordering I made sure of which size would fit best for my flat and thin hair.       Both of my Flexi Clips look stunning. The beaded wire is quite bendable but strong, the sliding pin is adjustable and they feel high-quality. I chose mine in a copper/rust shade but there are also silver and gold shades and so many different styles and colours available. As I recently cut my long hair short, I don't have many options with styling. I usually just wear my hair in a ponytail or a half ponytail. Autumn's Delight fits all my hair between the clip and Festive Leaf is perfect for a smal...
