This special edition Geisha doll lip and cheek stain gets both my thumbs up in the packaging awards. It's super cute and a perfect festive gift if you looking to get a small something that will impress. I've always been a huge Body Shop fan and this is just LOVE in a tiny bottle.

Here comes the sun..

When it comes to sunblock, there are no shortcuts. The harsh African sun is not to be messed with so it's best to load up on your sunblock and reapply continuously if you out frolicking in the sun. I remember as a child having sunburn and it's just the worst thing ever as it puts a dull grey spell on the rest of the holiday. Not to mention that painful sting when someone taps you on the back to ask you something awefully stupid! 

Basic sun protection should include nothing less than a 30 SPF in my books. Most moisturisers have SPF's which is great so your face is covered, and there's less chance of spooky white face as it absorbs with your daily application. I definitely prefer a body spray to a lotion as it's less messy, easier to apply, and because I don't like greasy hands on the beach.

Reapply after swimming and make sure you use a after-sun body lotion to protect and nourish your skin after spending a sunny time outside. 

Take care on the beaches and top your look with a fabulous hat and chic sunglasses because you're that kind of girl.

Enjoy the sunny days ahead..

Beach hair..don't care!

Care free beach days are here, and what better way to get through those in between wash days with this little can of magic. Batiste dry shampoo removes excess grease and instantly boosts your hair to a clean and radiant shine. Simply spray onto your hair and massage into the roots. It's no excuse for washing your tresses though, but a little fairy godmother to get you from beach to bar with no fuss. I chose the Coconut & Exotic Tropical which smells like summer islands all wrapped up. 

It gets two gold stars for the pretty packaging and delightful fragrance options. Also available in regular and a mini travel size perfect enough to pop into your beach bag, so grab a couple for the lazy days ahead. 

I simply adore!!
