Welcome to my Blog. I set this up after realising I spend far too much time updating my Facebook status and living in hope that one day a celeb will reply to one of my Tweets. So if you like reality TV, makeup, short story ideas, magazines, chocolate and the occasional gym class, then this is the blog for you. Now get that tea brewing, grab a couple of digestives and let yourself escape into my world...you never know, you might like it here!

Under the Sea

Shopping for new beauty products is definitely something I love to do so when I was sent a couple of products from The Soap Lagoon I couldn’t help but get a little bit excited about it!
A new local business, set up this year, The Soap Lagoon specialise in ‘Hand-made soapy beauts’ including Deep Ocean Treasure, Shaving whip, Moisturising soap bars and a range of exfoliating products.



After I was sent a couple of exfoliating whips, I couldn’t wait to get sampling them! The first was a Lemon Poppy Whip. As someone who suffers with dry skin, I am always on the lookout for a gentle exfoliator that I can use regularly and if it moisturises at the same time, then even better. This product does just that! Not only is it gentle on my skin, but you also only need a small about because it ‘whips’ up into your skin, mositurising it at the same time. Perfect for me!  The smell of it is amazing, so much so, there is a disclaimer on the packaging that says not to eat it and I can see why!



The second I tried was a Berry Cream Poppy Whip. Again, this is another gentle exfoliator which smells so good and doesn’t feel like I’m hacking away at my skin. The poppy seeds make is kind to your skin and is perfect to use regularly without drying it out.
Both of these whips came in plastic pots with spoons, so much so they looked like ice creams or desserts when I opened them - I loved them straight away – and all the products are made by hand with natural ingredients so they are safe to use and good for the environment too!

I have already recommended these to my friends and family, and with Christmas just around the corner, they would make lovely gifts or stocking fillers!
