Christmas shopping: Damaging to your health?

A recent report has suggested that Christmas Shopping is more than just stressful ... Not exactly a relevation, but apparantly the worry of trying to find the right gift for the right person, the strain of making your way through the crowded high street and the panic as you realise that dream gift could be unavailable can lead to raised blood temperatures, sometimes to dangerous levels.


Now we're not one's to cause a panic here ... and if you did believe everything you read in the paper, you may never step out of the door again! However, we do believe that Christmas shopping should be easy - so this year leave Saturday's to the professional shoppers, and instead boot up your computer, rev up your mouse and shop online - no expensive parking charges, no people getting in your way and an easy way to find gifts to suit your budget.


To have a look at what we're offering this Christmas come here.

Give your skin a boost!

Brrrr! The temperature is dropping, and it's only going to get chillier as the week goes by - and as we all know this can play havoc with our skin! Like any good Girl Guide knows, it's best to prepare, prepare, prepare so I'm taking one important preventative step now, so that the cold weather doesn't dull my skin.


What's the solution? I've started using our Moisture Tonic Treatment Oil - and the compliments have been flowing in! It's a really rich, nourishing oil that's easy to use and will suit any skin type. Massage in at night, after cleansing, and then sleep on it! Wake up to glowing skin ... honestly!

Trend alert: Metallic Nails

Metallic Nail Colours are big news this season, featuring on the Autumn/Winter 08 catwalks and filtering their way down onto the high street. So, if you're tightening your purse strings, and can't quite afford a new party outfit for December, give yourself an instant fix and invest in something much more friendly on the bank balance!

If you like to change your colour five days a week then why not try the glossy new Renaissance Nail Colour Collection. This season's shades, in metallic finishes are a perfect way to give yourself a little treat, whilst you wait for payday.

Alternatively you could try our bestselling Perfectly Polished Nail Colour - why should you try? It's super hard wearing (mine is still perfectly in tact two weeks on!), it comes in a great range of colours so there's something for everyone and it's formaldehyde free - which means it's kind to your nails too!

Smoke gets in your eyes

Remember, remember the 5th of November...

If you're planning any bonfire parties (or waiting for a more civilised event at the weekend) then make sure you start the day with some waterproof mascara - because when smoke gets in your eyes, you don't want to look like you've been rolling in the bonfire soot! Our X-Treme Waterproof mascara is swim proof and tear proof so is going to stand the test of any smokey bonfire.

If you're a bit of an 'eye-rubber' you might also like to try Timeproof Eyeshadow which will last well after the bonfire flames die down. Formulated to stand the test of time, and guaranteed to offer a bit of sparkle on a cold winter's evening.

And finally if you're having a party in the garden make sure you're wrapped up and warm - if layers aren't your thing, go for a fake fur throw, like our Milano Throw - glamorous and practical you'll have them all green with envy!

Have a happy bonfire night!

Worrying thought ...!

Christmas is coming - there's nothing we can do to stop it! And we'll soon be faced with a multitude of decisions;

What are we doing on the day?
What am I going to wear to the Christmas Party?
What am I going to buy who?
How can I possibly get it all done in time?

So we thought it was high time we got our Christmas shop online - perfect, if you're a worrier like me and like to shop by a specific budget for each person. And if the thought of wrapping all those gifts brings you out in a chill, why not have a look at our Christmas Gift bags - no more paper cuts, no more searching for the end of the sellotape, just easy stress-free wrapping!

So got your santa hat on? Ready to avoid the high street? Glass of mulled wine to hand?
Then you're ready to shop!
