My Lip balm Collection

1. Lollipops Lip Balm Delicieuse is the newest lip balm in my collection. Lollipops is an affordable French make up brand which I'm very familiar with, as I already own some of their products. This lip balm is very rich and creamy, it immediately soothes and softens my lips. It contains antioxidants and vitamin E and contains UV protection - perfect for summer! 2. The Organic Pharmacy Antioxidant Lip Balm is very similar to Lollipops lip balms but for me it feels even more rich and creamy. This lip balm contains Shea Butter, Pomegranate, Rose Hip and Vitamin E and keeps my lips so hydrated.  3. Soothing Lavender Multi Purpose Pocket Balm by The Bakewell Soap Company is a handmade soothing hydration for lips, hands, nails and body. I always keep this pocket balm with me (on my work desk, handbag) as it's essential for dry lips and hands. It is a miracle, only a little goes a long way! It is very sticky on hands but on lips it is absolutely fine! Contains Walnut, Almond

Tristan is a fan of dinosaurs and as the coast is called the 'Jurassic Coast', I planned this short trip for him as a little surprise.  We arrived by train on Friday evening and as we were quite tired from the journey, we decided to stay in and explore the town the next day.

The beach was lovely - clean, quiet but very rocky!  Lyme Regis experiences two high tides and two low tides in a day like most coastal areas. The best time to go fossil hunting is after the high tide, as the waves wash away the soft clay, leaving the more resistant fossils exposed and more easily collected. We managed to collect a few
