Thank you & current products I love

A big thank you to everyone for their kindness about our dog Bess getting put down. It's been a tough week (know it will continue to hurt for quite some time).  

Expect a wee tribute post to Bess next week with lots of lovely photos which were taken last spring by Cheryl at Edinburgh Dog Photography.

The following are products which I've found have pampered and cared for me this week. I think everyone should have them in their stash!

Marble & Milkweed Nourishing Body Oil 118ml* - I simply love this super moisturising oil which is scented with Cardamon, Sandalwood and Rose Otto (a few drops can also be added to the bath).  See my review here.  You can buy at a beautiful world.

Therapi Orange Blossom Honey Moisturiser 50ml* - a certified organic product which combines honey, propolis and beeswax with cold pressed organic oils and plant butters. The range of products are formulated in-house and the company aim to do all they can to reverse the decline of bees and the loss of biodiversity.  This moisturiser is simply gorgeous, light as air, smells delicious and is truly uplifting.  It contains Neroli and Jasmine Essential Oils. Easily absorbed, it feels light and moisturising on the skin.  You can buy the range here.
