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!

Glossybox - Iconic Hollywood Edition

This month Glossybox takes us a step back in time and worships Hollywood beauty royalty. There are four collector's edition boxes with different coloured bottoms and a Marilyn Monroe print on the cover. My box is a mint green and looking very pretty - definitely worth keeping. The box contains 5 beauty products - 3 of them full size. The products are inspired by the silver screen stars whose elegant and timeless beauty is still as relevant as it was then. The Lord & Berry Lipstick Pencil and POP Beauty Kajal Eyelines Pen are both essential to achieve a time-honoured look - a red lip and feline flick. Eyes and lips are the windows to the soul - when I am doing my make up, I like to concentrate on them the most. I am glad Glossybox chose these classic staples for this month. Lord & Berry Lipstick Pencil in Kiss is the perfect Marilyn red. It's in pencil form which makes the application really easy and because it has the matte finish, it can be glosse

4 Days in Rome / Day 2 More sightseeing and tours

We planned for Monday to be our main sightseeing day. The morning was started with breakfast at our hotel before we left at 10am. A bus to the city centre took us just 10 minutes - €1.20 for one way ticket. Our first stop was at Piazza Venezia, a major circus and known as the central hub of Rome. The majority of Rome's popular tourist attractions are easily accessible from here and are within walking distance. The Altare della Patria (Altar of the Fatherland) caught my eye and we decided to see it up close. This monument was built in 1925 in honour of King Victor Emmanuel, making it quite a new attraction compared to the rest of the Rome and its architecture. From the top of the building you can see a 360 degree view of Rome. A ticket to the top costs €7 but you can stay on the roof as long as you like! Our next stop was Santa Maria in Aracoeli , another beautiful Catholic church with a monumental staircase. While you can see the Col

Jewellery box

It is time to take a look inside my jewellery box! I don't wear many accessories during the winter. Why? Maybe because I am all wrapped up and it can be so annoying when earrings, necklaces, bracelets and so on get caught on the extra clothes. But now that spring has arrived, it is time to take all of my accessories out and start wearing them! I had actually forgotten how much I had in this box - it was such a surprise. It felt like I had just bought them again! I found loads of hair clips and hairbands, which were all ordered from eBay. I don't think I have paid over £5 for any one of them (postage and packing included). They came from China and like everybody knows, it takes about a month for them to arrive! This peacock hair clip is my favourite. I have worn it a couple of times and I can't really complain about the quality. It actually looks like it is worth a bit more than the £2 I paid. I love these two hair clips. Th
