Little Miss Nails Inc!


It’s Mr Men & Little Miss 40th anniversary, so what better way to celebrate than an inspired collection from Nails Inc. . Fantastic idea, I love a bit of nostalgia, and combining it with nail varnish is even better! This limited edition collection comes in 4 splendid colours just perfect for summer/autumn:
Nails Inc Little Miss Chatterbox nail polish – a grey/brown polish, this colour is great for everyday wear, I think I'd wear this one to the office as it's so neutral that it'd go with anything :) 
Nails Inc Little Miss Splendid nail polish – a minty green nail polish (pastel), super cute colour - I'd personally wear this one more in spring/summer... but of course I want it anyway!!

Nails Inc Little Miss Sunshine nail polish – looks peachy in the bottle, but when I put it on I think it's more apricot toned, it has a slightly orange pigment to it, which is nice because it makes the colour pop just that little bit more than a normal peachy/nude varnish.
Nails Inc Little Miss Naughty nail polish -  light purple nail polish (but not pastel)... I'm pretty tempted to buy this one just because Little Miss Naughty was one of my favourite Little Miss' but I don't really wear purple often...

Overall I love this new collection, the quality as usual for Nails Inc is spot on... 2 thin coats and you've got perfect coverage that lasts. Nails Inc may be slightly more expensive than other brands, but I'm happy to pay more for better pigments that stand the test of time!

Green People Organic Body Spa Sensuous Sugar Scrub 245g

When I read that 60% of what we put on our skin is absorbed in to the blood stream I was pretty shocked. I am usually pretty careful at what products I use anyway, because I have sensitive skin... but having read that I am now trying to go as organic as I can with my skin care!


The basis, in my opinion, to any good body care routine is to start with a magnificent exfoliant.






I love this sugar body scrub from Green People as it really does give a good scrub without being scratchy - I think this is thanks to the shea butter which gives an almost balm like texture when you wet the scrub.


The product recommendation is to use twice a week - but I only use mine once a week and this scrub is so good that it keeps my legs silky soft for a full 7 days! Perhaps if you had callous feet etc you'd want to use it 2-3 times a week to start with to really see the benefits!

I'd definitely rate this product a 5* and would repurchase!


A little information to note:
The packaging is recyclable and non air-freighted. Green people use only use the purest, natural and organic ingredients hand made in small quantities to ensure you receive the freshest products possible. What's more, Green People have always donated 10% of their net profit to charity!

Summer Hair

SUMMER IS HERE!


Ahhh but the havoc that that can play with my skin and hair is crazy! The increased humidity can play havoc with my hair and leave it looking a little bit fuzzy and frizzy! In turn, this means I have to use my hair straighteners more... which can make my hair even drier! Madara to the rescue!


MÁDARA haircare to the rescue :) 





To combat my unruly hair I have been using the nourish and repair shampoo and conditioner which really gets deep in to the hair follicles and prevents my hair from drying and getting split ends. There are lots of different ranges of  MÁDARA hair care: gloss and vibrancy collection which is great for normal hair as it enhances the natural shine and the colour and shine collection which deeply nourishes your hair counteracting the effects of dying the hair.


MÁDARA’s hair care range is certified as organic and contains typical herbs and plants from the Baltic region, including nettle, linden flower, quince and plantain, which contain high levels of active ingredients.  




Each product in the hair care range retails at £9.90.
