The January blues have officially kicked in and as opposed to the Lumie Light Boxes I've seen in the corners of multiple friends houses I've opted for a more beautifying approach to lift my spirits. Say hello to heavenly scented candles, luxurious lip balms and whipped body creams - the mood lifting equiviant to another getaway abroad....
To set the mood Jo Malone Sweet Almond & Macaroon Candle does the trick, smells exactly as it's described on the tin and almost makes me feel as though I'm getting my sugar intake (almost).
Organic Surge Million Dollar Balm has been floating around from handbag to handbag to soothe, hydrate and protect anything from lips to cuticles - plus its incredibly zesty smell works as a fantastic pick me up.
My beloved Origins Sensory Therapy from this set has been going strong since October and is officially on its last legs (tear!). This stuff works an absolute treat for calming and soothing you can apply it on pressure points but works especially well on the temples. Plus points for the scent lingering around for over 20 minutes, just enough time for me to doze off.
L'Occitane Almond Milk Concentrate's light almost whipped texture hydrates parched skin whilst smelling as heavenly as the Shower Oil but doesn't leave a sticky residue, in fact it absorbs fairly easily making the getting ready process a breeze.
Four extremely strong scents that somehow work together to lift spirits, just writing this has made me want to slather myself up...
L'Occitane's Almond Milk Concentrate smells divine but not more than the Jo Malone candle, it's literally smells like macaroons. Great post Amelia!
