Kiehl’s Richly Hydrating Lavender Hand Cream will calm chapped hands and frazzled nerves this Christmas

Hello friends!

Gosh! It feels good to finally be back online. Had some internet woes the past few days and well, you know how that is. It’s incredibly frustrating! Often, we just don’t realise how reliant we are on being connected to that great wide web. While nice to detox, it’s frustrating when you need to get work done.

But whining aside, let me show you something cheery instead.

When I was down in Singapore a few weeks ago, I met up with Mag of makeupstash.com, a beauty blogger I’d known since our early blogging days. We finally had the chance to meet up after all these years and I have to say that it was one of the most incredible meet-ups I’ve ever had! We were jawing on like old friends (which we technically are) and spent a mind-boggling 7 hours just chatting and doing a bit of makeup shopping – as you do! 😉 I had loads of fun!

One of our pit-stops was Kiehl’s because the cheery Christmas decorations drew us in, and I wanted to snag a sample of their new face oil. In the process, I ended up with one of the limited edition Christmas items – the Kiehl’s Richly Hydrating Hand Cream in Lavender. There are 3 scents – Lavender, Grapefruit and Coriander. I know… Coriander?! Bleh… 😛 I don’t even eat it, much less want to smell like a herb salad 😛

’tis that time of year when people are talking about gift guides and gifting and presents. Quite often, it’s all about what people what for themselves. Face it, folks. Gift guides are thinly veiled wish lists! LOL! But if you are in the spirit of giving, I’m going to eschew the traditional gift guide or limited edition sets, and suggest that you take a look at this offering from The Body Shop which I can safely say you’d be happy to give as much as you are to receive… especially as the holiday season brings frazzled nerves!

The Spa of the World, is a new range of products from The Body Shop, that boasts products that you can use for an at-home spa. Not all of us have the luxury of time, money and effort to get ourselves to a day spa, where we can relax and rest our our weary heads and bodies while someone else massages and pampers our cares away.

Quite often, most of us only have time to get home, throw our weary bodies on our couch (if that!) and zone out. But if you have a few minutes before bed, you can create a little zen atmosphere to help you relax and regain some calm in the midst of chaos.

The relatively small range comprises a bath milk, creams, body oils and body scrubs. But I rather like that – if there are too many options, it gets too hard to choose! Let me show you just 2 of the items I have here 🙂

In the L’Occitane x Pierre Hermé Holiday Collection 2015 you can have the macaron maestro without the calories!

When I was first told that L’Occitane was pairing with famed pastry chef Pierre Hermé for their Christmas or Holiday collection this year, I had an “Eh?” moment. Pierre Hermé, famous for his macarons, was an unlikely collaboration, I thought. Then again, Laduree has a makeup range that has nothing to do with pastries or macarons, so who am I to judge right? LOL

As it turned out, I thought the combination of scents quite fascinating. Must be to do with that chef’s palate. I mean, who’d have thought to marry the bitter-citrus note of Pamplemousse (grapefruit) with the sour note of rhubarb?! Incidentally, I LOVE rhubarb, and don’t tell anyone, but after the press event, a few sticks of rhubarb went home with me in my bag and into a delicious crumble 😀 shhhh…..

Ahem! Now, let me quickly tell you about my thoughts on the scents. It’s just a quick overview, nothing too detailed because scents are very personal things. I was gifted with the Jasmin-Immortelle-Neroli fragrance, so I will be able to tell you about that one after some wear 🙂

I have a bad habit. I take good care of my facial skin but the rest of my body is pretty much fair game. Body lotions or hand creams are things I use only when I remember, and let’s not even talk about feet! Other than cutting my toenails when they start getting long and gnarly, I rarely do much for my poor maligned feet.

So if you are like me, pause for a moment, say a quick thank you to your feet for making you mobile, and care for them. Here are some quick tips 🙂
