February: Lately I've Been Loving

So many February loves...

I love to make my own marmalade using beautiful Ave Maria Oranges which I buy at Waitrose - they really are the best! I made this at the very end of January but have sneaked them in as a February favourite.

Lunch at Ondine was amazing - that roasted shellfish platter delicious! Can't wait to go back!

This square mini bag from Cathrin Brodie is simply gorgeous! You can pick one up onsale just now for £10 - be quick! Only when stocks last. Made with Scottish Linen which is woven in Kirkcaldy with a cheeky sheep lining. Perfect for small change or for make up on a night out!

February's Skin Organics Clean Beauty Box is just amazing. See my review HERE.

I love sample size for try me or holidays and this sample size 3ml RMS Beauty Beauty Oil** (£6). Full size is £74 so this is the perfect try me size. The potent oil balances, adds nourishment and leaves the skin feeling comfortable and looking radiant and can be used AM or PM after cleansing. It feels really light on the skin and absorbs quickly.

I'm just loving my Formula Botanica Diploma in Organic Skincare* see my what I think of it so far HERE.

Lately I've been Loving: December

I've been loving having 3 advent calendars to open each day! It's been a real luxury! My absolute favourite has been the sneaky wee extra one by 4160Tuesdays. It's been a real treat to have a new perfume for 25 days in December.  Some I already know I'll be buying full size with some I still need to test out fuller.

Day 24

You can see what I received on the first day in more detail HERE, on days 1-6, 7-15 and 16-24. 

It was really fab to discover Lucky Cloud Skincare at a shop local to me. See my post about Cahoots HERE. The Sweet Orange & Vanilla scent is just gorgeous and the balm is my absolute favourite.

Discovering gorgeous Letterbox Gifts - see my posts HERE and HERE. Excited to hear there will be new boxes out next year. If this was a monthly subscription box I'd be at the top of the queue!

We had an absolutely delicious meal for David's birthday at the beginning of December at Ondine. As ever the food and service were amazing - we always treat ourselves to Oysters! Can't wait to go back to try the Grand Fruits of the Sea.

December saw me dine twice (Christmas menu) at Foresters Guild, a local pub with food. Both times I ate the same and both times it was delicious! Pic below is of the salmon starter.

I received some fab Christmas presents including this perfume by Miller Harris which I first tried in London in October. Review will follow.
