My Skin & Body Care Routine ft Kiss Me Organics Matcha Powder

5 days 'til Christmas!!!

Eeeeeek, I am so excited and ready for Christmas now. Oh, what a wonderful time of the year it is: sitting in front of the TV with the fairy lights on, drinking hot chocolate and watching Elf; enjoying opening presents and spending quality time with the fam; and most importantly...Christmas dinner. Bring on the pigs in blankets!!

Anyways, since I started working at The Body Shop, I have been a lot more conscious about my skin and body and have began to take care of it a lot more than I used to. Seriously, before hand, I only ever used to use makeup wipes and moisturiser on the odd occasion but now I'm a lot more thorough and I love it. I'm already seeing results in my skin, body and overall health.

Starting with body care, here's what I use. I've recently discovered Mandara Spa and I've been using the scrub and gels mainly on my legs, and it's so lovely. I always feel really refreshed after using these products and they smell so nice. I also use the Moringa shower gel from The Body Shop which has a very fresh and clean smell. I prefer to smell fresh rather than fruity so this is a nice one to use. To finish off, now and then I use Soap and Glory's Spray On Moisturiser. I love this because the spray's so handy so it's easy to apply and you don't have to spend a long time rubbing it in.

I have never been one for buying extravagant and luxury face/skin care because I feel as if these do just the job. These Primark Deep Facial Cleansing Wipes are basic but do the trick for removing makeup and slightly cleansing my skin. However, I also use Asda's Creamy Face Wash twice a day for an extra cleanse. I know what you're thinking...Asda...but seriously, this face wash is actually really good. It fully cleanses my skin and helps keep blemishes away whilst leaving my skin feeling clean, fresh and soft.

I use these two moisturisers from The Body Shop Vitamin E Range. Both of these moisturises offer total, intense moisture for all skin types and after just a week, they had already worked wonders on my skin. I suffered from really bad dry skin around my nose but now it's completely gone! 

I like to use this Almond Hand Cream from The Body Shop because it smells amazing and protects my hands from dryness, especially in this harsh weather. 

Finally, not your typical skin/body care product, but I've been using this Organic Matcha Powder from Kiss Me Organics. I incorporate this powder into my breakfast smoothies. Not only does has it improved the quality of my skin, it leaves me feeling revived and refreshed for the day ahead and gives me that extra energy boost I need. There are so many benefits from this powder, which is why I love it so much. It boosts your metabolism, provides antioxidants and it tasted good too so it's definitely worth it.

2014 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

Earlier this week, almost 50 beautiful angels graced London, the heart of the UK, to perform in the world's most spectacular, eye-popping, thrilling show of all time: the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is undoubtedly a dream brought to life. Bejewelled lingerie, stunning set and beautiful models all make the circus-like show come to life. 

With performances from Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Ed Sheeran and Hozier, this year's show was not a one to be missed but with tickets estimated at around $25,000 - pictures and Youtube will have to do for now!

The angels arrived at the store in Bond Street, London last Sunday, ready to rock the catwalk in the capital. All wearing matching VS show tee's and leather, the girl's stopped traffic.

Dressed in VS attire, Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande performed at the show alongside Ed Sheeran and Hozier. 

  

 

Taylor Swift wore a sensual, black lace ensemble and looked like one of the angels herself, whilst Ariana Grande rocked a sporty, colourful number paired with knee high Louboutins.



Models Allesandra Ambrosio and Adriana Lima wore the $2million Dream Angels Fantasy Bras - something every VS model wants to wear on the catwalk. Every design was handcrafted by Mouawad jewellers using 16,000 rubies, diamonds and sapphires, strung together by 18 karat gold. 



The show will air exclusively to 4Music on the 10th December at 9pm but until then, view the complete gallery of the show here

                                                 

                                               

Replay Hyperflex Denim ft Kate Moss

Happy December guys! 

Recently, Kate Moss was spotted with Jamie Hince in North London wearing AW14 Replay Hyperflex Denim jeans. As per usual, Kate looks amazing. Seriously, I wish I looked that good walking a dog. 

She rocks these jeans and wears them perfectly with brown heeled boots and a rolled neck jumper; the perfect AW ensemble. 

These jeans are designed for ultimate comfort and are 100% elastic; the perfect pair for everyday life, from shopping to walking your pooch.

These jeans come in three different washes: a very dark tone with a rich sheen, a medium tone with a pale, dirty, yellow tinge and a light tone.

Top Model Alessandra Ambrosio has campaigned for Replay, introducing their first colour capsule of the jeans in December, in colours black and grey, followed by block bright colours in February 2015.
