Moshi - skin care and candles

A couple of months ago I tried out some skin care products and soy wax candles from an Estonian natural cosmetics brand called Moshi. Finding the right face cream is always a challenge for me, so I took the risk and chose face products from their lavender-geranium range for my combination skin. I also ordered two packs of scented candles. They added some lip balm to my order for free, which I am very thankful for!

Unfortunately, I was not impressed with the Lavender-Geranium Face Cream. The first 5 minutes after is applied are fine but shortly afterwards my skin becomes shiny and oily. My pores became clogged and the cream felt heavy on my face.

Lavender-Geranium Face Scrub works amazingly on my skin. The granules are tiny and the consistency feels super light. I have been using this once or twice a week and like to leave it on my skin for a few extra minutes after scrubbing. Once I have washed it off, I don't need to use toner or night/day cream to keep my face moisturised. I love how gentle it is on the skin - exactly what I need on a cold winter day.

The Lip Balm contains oils of Pumpkin and Sea buckthorn which makes this product moisturising and keeps lips soft all day. Vitamins A, C, and E give my lips an extra boost.

Moshi sell a large selection of candles. I chose two very natural sets, both of them tree scented: Merekohin (which means 'sea murmur' translated directly) which has a slight juniper scent and Fig Tree. I haven't had the chance to use them yet as I am saving them for spring!

Overall, I am pleased with Moshi products. Even though the face cream didn't really suit my skin type, the scrub and lip balm have both been number one over the last few weeks. I like how their products look so natural and neat in my bathroom.

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...

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...

OOTD - The sun has come out!

It has been such a long time since my last fashion post, I've been missing them so much! The second the sun came out, Tristan and I went to the canal and took a few pictures. I think it is still too early for sunglasses but a light jacket is okay when you wear a jumper underneath (Primark) and a cosy leopard print scarf (Linea Cashmink) around your neck. My black Veromoda jacket and shoes are both from Best Secret. You'll all know by now how much I've been raving about it. I think it is an amazing place for online shopping. I love the copper detailing and the simple look on my jacket, plus it's super lightweight. My trainers are by Puma & Alexander McQueen (click here to read my previous post). I also just noticed that I don't have any good shots of my Michael Kors bag, which I absolutely adore by the way! I'm sure everybody knows how beautiful these bags are so I think this will do for now. The bag and scarf were both Christmas presents fr...
