4 EASY Winter Skin Care Tips

Lots of us think that because we hide under layers for warmth in winter, we can neglect our skin.

 But, this type of hibernation is not the best way to take care of ourselves. The air is cold and dry, and cold winter winds help our skin to become dry, cracked and flaky. There are some simple steps that can help maintain a feel good glow all through the colder months.

1) Once a week- exfoliate. All over, not just your face. Sloughing off the dead skin cells and boosting your circulation is invigorating, renewing and warming.

2) Every day- moisturise all over, and your face (unless it's particularly sensitive), twice a day. Carry lip balm and use it regularly, not just once your lips start to dry and crack.

3) Treat- think about what special treatments you use, and if you can use products smarter. Eg, can you use a hair masque once a week and stop the creation of split ends? Use a bath oil in a hot (ish) bath once a week for an all over moisture boost?

4) Take care of yourself- keep warm, hydrated, and  sleep lots. There's nothing better for you!

Cranleigh Trivia Night Gift Bags

I needed to put together 15 gift bags for the Cranleigh School Trivia Night.

Over a couple of weeks, as I made orders I would mix & package a little extra product.

That was the easy part.

Then I needed to make them pretty.

A few weekends ago, I was lucky to house sit for a friend who is a Stampin' Up!

demonstrator, so I used the opportunity to make bag toppers with music notes.

Each bag has two samples from the top picture, plus a face washer or shower puff.

Hopefully, someone will take a pic on the actual night for me load later.

I have also donated some 50s rock'n'roll ducks embedded in soap as lucky door prizes.
