The Body Shop - Coconut Gift Set

I am a huge fan of coconut, so I was pleased with this gift set I got from Tristan last Christmas. His gifts are always so carefully chosen and he knows exactly what I like. These products have been my number one for a while now so I thought it was time to share them!

Hand cream - always on my workdesk / 30 ml

Softens and gives a nutty moisture
Light and instantly absorbing formula
Lovely tropical smell, reminds me of the holidays

Coconut shower cream - 250 ml

Creamy and moisturising
Soap free but still lather rich
Doesn't dry skin
Lovely scent but not too overpowering

Coconut body mist - my absolute favourite / 100ml

Has a tropical coconut fragrance - I always get compliments when I wear it
Makes skin feel refreshed
Can be used all over the body and face - very light
Good size bottle, perfect to carry around in a handbag
I only need to spray it a couple of times and it works instantly - a little goes a long way

Coconut body scrub - 50ml

Perfect exfoliator for all skin types
Removes dead skin cells
Leaves skin feeling soft and smooth - cream based
Helps with rough skin even when using gently
Has a lovely coconut scent

Coconut Body Butter - 200ml

Very thick and creamy consistency
As it is quite ''buttery'', again a little goes a long way
Perfect for dry skin
Maybe a bit too moisturising for my skin - I use it rarely

Even though you would usually associate coconut with summer and tropical holidays, I like to use this range all year around!

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...
