🚨 Little heads up if you’re a fan of our body washes… 🚨

If you’ve got a favourite scent, now’s the time to grab it! 👀

Our current body washes are being phased out and stock is already starting to disappear. Once they’re gone, they’re gone, and at just £10 each they’re an absolute bargain!

So if there’s a particular scent you love, give me a shout ASAP and I’ll get it ordered for you before stock starts vanishing 😘

The good news? 🤩

Our gorgeous new body washes launch on 8th June in beautiful refillable pump bottles. They’re more hydrating than ever and smell absolutely incredible… but they will be £16 each.

So if you’re thinking, “I’ll grab a couple of my old favourites while I still can” … I honestly don’t blame you 😂

Which one are you stocking up on before they disappear? 👇🏻💛🧡💚🩷🖤

Exfoliation.....

Who bothers with it? And how often?

I can’t say I really bothered with exfoliating my body much over the years. I always wondered why I had those weird little bumps on the backs of my arms and the tops of my legs 🤣

As for my face, I’d do it here and there when I remembered, or whenever I could be arsed 🙈but never consistently.

Well my god... what a bloody difference it makes!

I’m genuinely not kidding. Since I’ve started exfoliating properly, those little bumps have pretty much disappeared and my skin feels soooo much smoother.

And my face? I only exfoliate once a week, but it’s made such a difference. My skin looks brighter, smoother and just healthier.

Now before anyone grabs a scrub and starts going at it like they’re stripping wallpaper 🤣 please remember exfoliation should be GENTLE.

More isn’t better.

Over-exfoliating can actually damage your skin barrier and leave your skin feeling dry, irritated, sensitive and a bit angry with you.

Let’s be honest girls, we can’t always be arsed with a 15-step routine, can we? 🤣 That’s why I love these. They’re quick, easy, take minutes to use and make an awesome difference without loads of faff.

For me, once a week on my face and 1-2 times a week on my body is plenty.

My go-to products are:

🤍 Face Smooth ~ leaves my skin feeling silky smooth and gives it a lovely glow.

💚 Body Smooth ~ one of my absolute favourites for soft, polished skin.

🩷 Super Smooth ~ brilliant for those stubborn little bumps and rough patches. I only use this every now and again when I feel like my skin needs a little extra help.

And if you asked me personally which out of the three to get, I’d 10000000% say Face Smooth and Body Smooth for sure , they smell bloody lush too 😍

Add in a good moisturiser and your SPF and you’re onto a winner ☀️

Tell me I’m not the
only one who ignored exfoliation for years and then wondered why my skin wasn’t behaving? 🤣👇

💚 What’s On My Face? 💚

I’ve had a couple of people ask what I used on my face in this picture, so I thought I’d pop it all in one post 👇🏻

Honestly, this is pretty much my go-to “I want to look like I’ve made an effort when I’ve actually spent about 5 minutes getting ready” face 🤣

✨ CC Cream (£32) in Medium
I’d used the new facial tanning spray the night before, so I went a shade darker than usual. This gives such a natural, glowy finish and has SPF 50 built in too 🙌🏻

⚠️ Even better… it’s currently FREE with any £100+ order until the 31st 🤩

✨ Illuma Concealer (£18)
Just under my eyes to brighten things up and make me look slightly less tired than I actually am 😂

✨ Butter Tint in Muse (£28)
On my cheeks and lips. I absolutely love this shade for a fresh, healthy glow.

✨ A touch of Bronzer & Eyeshadow from The Spring Edit Palette (£68)
Just enough to add a bit of warmth and definition without looking overdone.

✨ Fixing Gel Mascara (£18) in Black
My ride-or-die mascara. No clumps, no panda eyes, just lovely defined lashes.

And that’s literally it 🙌🏻

5 products and my face was done ❤️

One thing I always say is these products might seem like an investment initially, but they last sooooo bloody long. A little really does go a long way, especially with the CC Cream and Spring Edit Palette. I’ve had customers still using their palette months and months later!

Quick, easy, glowy and doesn’t feel like you’re wearing a face full of makeup… exactly how I like it 😘

If you want help colour matching the CC Cream or choosing the right Butter Tint shade, just give me a shout 💚

PSA…..Can we just have a little honest skincare chat for a minute… 👀

You can have the most expensive foundation in the world, but if your skin underneath is dehydrated, clogged, dry, flaky or screaming for some TLC… your makeup is going to show it 😅

Piling more makeup on usually makes it worse too.
Patchy.
Cakey.
Sitting in lines.
Separating round the nose.
Looking dull by lunchtime.

Sound familiar? 🤣

That flawless glowy makeup look everyone wants actually starts WAY before makeup even touches your face. It starts with your skincare 👏

Your skin is basically the canvas.
Hydrated skin = makeup sits smoother.
Exfoliated skin = no dry flaky patches.
Balanced skin = less excess oil breaking makeup apart.
The right moisturiser = plumper fresher looking makeup.

Honestly since properly looking after my skin, I wear LESS makeup now because my skin itself looks healthier. And makeup finally sits how it’s supposed to 😍

This is why copying someone else’s skincare routine rarely works too. Your friend’s “holy grail” could be the exact thing making your skin unhappy.

Dry skin needs different support to oily skin.
Sensitive skin needs different ingredients to blemish prone skin.
And perimenopausal skin? Don’t even get me started 🤣😭

Good skincare doesn’t have to mean 14 steps either. Most people just need:
✨ A good cleanser
✨ Hydration
✨ Moisture
✨ SPF daily

Consistency over complicated every single time 💚

If your makeup never seems to sit right, your skin might just be asking for a little more support underneath first 🫶

If you need help finding the right skincare for you…give me a shout 😘

Little public service announcement from me and Danny because this child has skin like his mother… sensitive, reactive and burns if the sun even LOOKS at him 😅☀️

So yes… he’s absolutely plastered in sun cream 🤣👏🏻

One thing people don’t realise is there actually IS a difference between SPF 30 and SPF 50.

SPF 30 blocks around 97% of UVB rays
SPF 50 blocks around 98%

Now that 1% might not sound much, but for fair skin, sensitive skin, kids, long days outside, caravanning, beaches, paddling pools and this ridiculous heat we’re getting… it really does make a difference.

Personally for Danny I always lean towards SPF 50 because I’d rather be safe than sorry 🙈

And remember babes… no sun cream works all day long. You still need to reapply every couple of hours, especially after swimming, sweating or towel drying.

Also a little sun cream fact because this confuses loads of people 👇🏻

☀️ Mineral sun cream sits on top of the skin and physically reflects UV rays away. It’s usually better for sensitive, eczema or reactive skin because it’s gentler.

☀️ Chemical sun cream absorbs into the skin and converts UV rays into heat before releasing them. These are often lighter in texture and invisible on the skin which some people prefer under makeup or daily wear.

Neither is “bad” 💚 it’s more about what suits YOUR skin and what you’ll actually wear properly and consistently.

Danny’s all protected, smelling like summer and ready for the day now 🤣☀️ now my turn 🙌🏻👌🏻

Wear the SPF 😘

My evening skincare routine is my absolute non negotiable 🙌🏻 5 mins to myself and done 🥰

Especially with SPF, makeup, sweat and this bloody heat lately 🥵🤣

Double cleansing at night honestly makes SUCH a difference to your skin. Your first cleanse removes the day… your second cleanse actually cleans the skin properly so your skincare can do its job 👌🏻

Here’s what I’m currently using ⬇️

💚 First cleanse Smoothing Cleanser
This is my “get the day off my face” cleanse 🤣
Removes makeup, SPF, dirt and grime without stripping the skin.
Packed with bamboo charcoal and green tea to deeply cleanse whilst keeping skin soft.

💚 Second cleanse Renewing Ceramide Cleansing Butter
This is where the proper skin cleanse happens 😍
Loaded with ceramides to support the skin barrier and leave skin feeling nourished, bouncy and clean instead of tight and dry.
Perfect for dry, dehydrated or mature skin.

💦 Morning Mist Toner
A cooling drink for the skin.
Hydrates, calms redness and helps prep the skin for the rest of my routine. Honestly lush in this weather too 👏🏻

🌿 Rainforest Dew Hydration Serum
My skin drinks this up.
Packed with hyaluronic acid for juicy, plump hydrated skin and helps give that healthy glowy look instead of looking tired and dull 🤣

👀 Eye Lift Eye Cream
Helps smooth and hydrate the under eye area whilst targeting puffiness and tired eyes… which this mum absolutely needs 😂

✨ Skin Dream Firming Moisturiser
Rich, nourishing and leaves skin feeling SO soft by morning.
Helps support firmness and hydration overnight whilst your skin does its repair work.

🫶 Elixir Oil
My final step and honestly one of my fave products ever.
Full of omega rich plant oils to deeply nourish, lock in hydration and leave skin glowingggg ✨

Clean skin. Hydrated skin. Glowy skin.
That’s the goal 👌🏻💚

Not me walking round the Caravan and Awning today spritzing everyone like little overheated houseplants 🌿🤣

But honestly… this heat is no joke and Morning Mist has been an absolute godsend today. I’m currently using it on all of us as a cooling mist and it feels SO lovely on hot, sticky skin 😍

It’s basically a big drink of hydration for your face. Or anywhere for that matter as we are spraying ourselves all over 🙌🏻Super gentle, cooling and calming… especially if your skin gets a bit red, irritated or dehydrated in warmer weather. Top tip keep in the fridge for an extra cooling hit 👌🏻

It’s packed with:

🥑 Avocado milk to nourish and soften skin
🌿 Aloe vera juice to cool, soothe and hydrate
💚 Tiger grass extract which is amazing for calming redness and stressed skin

The mist itself is really soft and milky rather than one of those harsh sprays that slap you in the face 🤣 and you can use it:

✨ after cleansing
✨ over makeup
✨ at your desk
✨ in your handbag
✨ or every 5 minutes in this sweaty British heatwave like me 🙃

Honestly one of those underrated products people don’t realise they need until they try it 👌🏻
