Wow! I can't believe that another year is gone by and it's Christmas again. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For me is especially bittersweet: my daughter was born in January and it is scary that this first year went so fast [plus, I'm back to work from maternity leave in January too :( - booooo]</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today in my last Christmas instalment, I'm sharing some gift ideas that are also perfect as a token of appreciation from self-to-self and for stocking up on some essential and talking advantage of great savings too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First of all, from the website <a href="http://abeautifulworld.co.uk/" target="_blank"><b>http://abeautifulworld.co.uk</b></a> that stocks some exclusive international brands, not easily available in the UK otherwise.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Everytime I visit their page, my wishlist gets bigger and bigger - for example, I love their bundles with different brands like the one below; <i>Indie Lee</i> is a fantastic brand and the bath salts from <i>Marble & Milkweed</i> sound A-ok too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For a quick stocking filler, these bottles from <i>Plant</i> definitely make an original and fun gift.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>REN</b> also have fabulous gifts with some great savings! These are perfect to stock up on your favourite products and come with an handy beauty bag too; <b>Stop Being So Sensitive! </b> contains the <i>Evercalm Gentle Cleansing Milk</i> which I find great to use in the mornings and I think it would work for any skin type too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The <b>Magical Minis Holiday Stocking</b> is filled to the brim with minis and the perfect way to get an introduction to the brand.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For me, it's not Christmas without a <b>L'Occitane</b> gift!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last year it was the <i>Delicious</i> <i>Almond Collection</i> from the hubby, the year before <i>The Secret to Beautiful Hands</i> (review <a href="http://princessleicascrapbook.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/an-evening-with-loccitane.html" target="_blank">here</a>)... and again we are spoiled for choose with many fantastic gift sets this year.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>L'Occitane Pierre Herme Hand Cream Trio* </b>is really one of these presents that make you scream with joy! </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It contains three Limited Edition hand creams, created in collaboration with <i>Pierre Herme</i> - the famous French Pastry Chef.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are actually 3 whole ranges with these newly crafted fragrances that combine precious ingredients and that evoke the Mediterranean and the Corsica coast.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8dy20pEXEKHBfM0nvP5xV_msgrq-thbfUuXbSsfZ94oVLhMPpMGAB1P7mLX_vb7TGrS5EWTjbFxLpG0cAtI5Rkhh6uAC0VNMDQ5SYjK287_Ij4stvebumZBqMUVcxEJhMCKddUS9mIbCS/s1600/L1210214.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8dy20pEXEKHBfM0nvP5xV_msgrq-thbfUuXbSsfZ94oVLhMPpMGAB1P7mLX_vb7TGrS5EWTjbFxLpG0cAtI5Rkhh6uAC0VNMDQ5SYjK287_Ij4stvebumZBqMUVcxEJhMCKddUS9mIbCS/s640/L1210214.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrLXYmuN9RSu6vDDU-fMvvkFvqsTV_uFBM1lOYJpD-mEk6z6XlnlbLF9uVwuaYprSgjnrzMUoRVIzQVIE94vEB6Md7a-TrVSMYcwJZ5HYI4bDXVnbCmEhKZY9ra0BSdrVUjNKMVOyeCYZu/s1600/L1210212.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrLXYmuN9RSu6vDDU-fMvvkFvqsTV_uFBM1lOYJpD-mEk6z6XlnlbLF9uVwuaYprSgjnrzMUoRVIzQVIE94vEB6Md7a-TrVSMYcwJZ5HYI4bDXVnbCmEhKZY9ra0BSdrVUjNKMVOyeCYZu/s640/L1210212.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All three scents are peculiar and tantalising for different reasons: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Jasmin Immortelle Neroli</i> is a floral, feminine bouquet with the richness of woody and musky notes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Pamplemousse Rhubarbe</i> combines the bitterness of the grapefruit white skin with the sweetness and tartness of the rhubarb; a warmly combination, slightly spicy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Miel Mandarine </i>is the most delicious concussion; fruity notes from the mandarin perfectly marry the sweetness and warmth of the caramelised honey, epitomising the holiday spirit!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They all have the fresh and nourishing consistency of the classic <i>L'Occitane Shea Butter</i> formula that we love!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Bonus: they come in a beautiful illustrated tin to collect and house your treasures!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Give the gift of healthy, clear skin this Christmas with <b>Dermalogica</b>. They have 6 Limited Edition sets to choose from, targeting different needs: from intense hydration, to problematic skin, to a selection of top sellers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
... and <b>Dermalogica Our Favorites*</b> is - indeed - my favourite! ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It contains 4 super-taskers, suitable for all skin conditions. The minis meet travelling standards and are perfect for trying out these products, if this is your first approach to the brand. </div>

<br />
<i>Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant </i>is a well known raved about product in the blogosphere. It is a dry scrub, in the form of a rice-based powder; you just mix it with some water and massage on the face to reveal a smoother texture. It's pretty amazing and you can really custom the exfoliating action, best suited for you.<br />
<i>Dermalogica Multi-Active Toner </i>comes in a pump bottle and it's ideal to prep the skin, before moisturization; it contains arnica and cucumber extracts to hydrate and refresh - especially after air travel.<br />
<i>Dermalogica Skin Hydrating Masque</i> is an high performing treatment to inject much needed moisture to dry or stressed skin; it has a unique cross-linked hyaluronic acid that delivers hydration over time for, lasting results. <br />
<i>Dermalogica Multivitamin Power Firm</i> is one of my all time favourite eye product! It has a silicone/balm feeling that smoothes lines, protects against further damage and improves elasticity; it is really a cream & primer & treatment all together in one. Highly recommended!<br />
<br />
Have you tried Dermalogica before? Which are your favourite products?</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A beautiful wrapped present certainly makes an impact on the eye of the receiver, it shows that you care and an eye-catching packaging makes the gift even more appreciated!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Proof of that, Kiehl's has teamed up with Pop Art artist <i>Peter Max</i> to redesign their <u>Holiday 2015 Collection,</u> making their iconic products extra special and festive.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The inspiration comes from his masterpiece 'The Cosmic Runner' and the colourful drawings represent vibrant Holiday Flyer characters with an aura of magic. The all concept embodies values important at heart for the artist and the brand: love, joy, solidarity and respect for the environment.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are several holiday edition bundles of products to choose from and my top pick goes to <b>Kiehl's Essentially Yours Gift Set*</b>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This set contains a complete selection of skincare best sellers, from cleansing to moisturising.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In the roomy and chicly branded beauty bag, you'll find a full size <i>Kiehl's</i> <i>Ultra Facial Cleanser </i>and a full size <i>Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate</i>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The cleanser is very mild and suitable for all skin types; it's ph-balanced so it doesn't dry out the skin and also dissolves make up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The night serum - well, who doesn't know this product?! - is a true skincare hero! It comes with a dropper and you only need to use a couple of drops, on its own or under moisturiser; it's paraben free and 99.8% natural and it promotes skin recovery during the night for a more radiant appearance in the morning - A miracle worker!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Finally, you also receive a sample of the <i>Kiehl's Ultra Facial Moisturizer </i>that works in unison with the cleanser; this lotion is very light in consistency but still provide 24-hr hydration.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The <i>Kiehl's Daily Reviving Concentrate</i> is an 100% natural and paraben free face oil which is full of antioxidants and provides protection against daily environmental aggressors. I haven to used this one before and it sounds pretty amazing - looking forward to try it out!</div>

Today's Christmas recommendation is for a luxurious bodycare set from<b> Melvita</b>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Melvita is a french company, pioneer in organic cosmetics since the early 80s and it's a leader brand in the natural and organic sector.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm really fond of this brand and I just wish it would be more readily available on the high street - I'd love to see flagship stores where you can try the products, like the 'sister' brand <b>L'Occitane; </b>anyway, I get my stuff from <a href="http://feelunique.com/" target="_blank">feelunique.com</a> or you can also visit <a href="http://uk.melvita.com/" target="_blank">uk.melvita.com</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They have some really great Christmas ideas with some good savings too, like the <i>Melvita Christmas Treats Bauble</i> - that contains 3 minis inside a pretty ornament.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The <b>Melvita L'Or Bio Gift Set* </b>is a real treat for the body and the senses; the organic brand is kind-to-skin and kind-to-the-enviroment and this duo will leave you feeling pampered and relaxed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Technically not part of the <u>Urban Decay Holiday 2015</u> selection, BUT the <b>Urban Decay Gwen Stefani Eyeshadow Palette*</b> is certainly taking the spotlight concerning Must-Haves this Christmas. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As the name suggests, the palette comes from the collaboration between Wende Zomnir (cofounder of UD) and Gwen Stefani, which apparently overlooked every detail - from the shades selection to the packaging; she also picked up the eyeshadow names, inspired by her songs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The cool black & white graphic case is encased in a gold frame with a magnetic fastening.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The palette is considerably neutral orientated making it perfect for everyone; but with some jewel tones added to recreate Gwen iconic looks, if you wish.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Out of the 15 eyeshadows, 12 are BRAND NEW... so <u>No Doubt</u> you need this in your collection!!! ;P</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No complaints about the quality either, it's there! True <i>Urban Decay</i> formulation: smooth and buttery with good pigmentation pay-off.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Like every year, we're spoiled for choice when it comes to <b>The Body Shop</b> Christmas selection; established lines include the <i>Frosted Cranberry</i> and the <i>Glazed Apple</i> (you can read more <a href="http://princessleicascrapbook.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/christmas-2014-body-shop-glazed-apple.html" target="_blank">here</a> btw) that come beautifully packaged in fruit shaped tins, or the fragrances gift sets - like <i>White Musk</i> or <i>Italian Summer Fig</i>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The new scent for 2015 is the <b>Frosted Plum</b> which smells delicious and features a tantalising, purple packaging.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The trademark scent is sweet but not too sweet - with plum extracts from orchards in Turkey, mixed with elegant notes of peony and magnolia.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The range has an healthy selection of items to envelope the body with this inviting fragrance from tip to toe, from morning to night.</div>

<b>Weleda</b> is one of my top favourite brands all year round.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will say it again, again - their baby range is also fantastic and worth investing in and I also used their products during my pregnancy because it's a brand that I trust.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the <u>Festive Season 2015</u>, they came out with the cutest little stocking fillers in the form a Christmas Tree Lantern decorations - they will look lovely hanging from a tree branch too! :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can choose from a few different scents, I got the <b>Weleda Pomegranate Christmas Tree Lantern*</b> which contains a miniature <i>Pomegranate Creamy Body Wash</i> & a miniature <i>Pomegranate Regenerating Body Oil</i>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Pomegranate range is nourishing and regenerating to help fight the signs of ageing; it improves firmness and elasticity. The milky body wash is refreshing and invigorating to the senses, thanks to sandalwood and neroli too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I like to use the oil on damp skin, just out of the shower; the oil is rich in nutrients and it has shown to accelerate renewal by 50% in only two weeks... a real treatment for the body.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, I recommend that you visit <a href="http://www.weleda.co.uk/">www.Weleda.co.uk</a> because they have an excellent selection of gift ideas for every budget. The Weleda Christmas Tree Lanterns are only £5 which is a really fantastic price for these luxurious items. </div>

Have you tried Weleda before? Which is your favourite range?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It's the most wonderful time of the year... yes, it's less than a month to <u>Christmas </u>(can you believe that!!!) and time to share some gifts ideas!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let's start with a bang - Today I've picked the <b>Erborian Pink Mania Gift Set*</b> which promises to achieve a <i>baby doll complexion</i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is certainly a cracker of a present, one of those that as soon as you buy it... you wanna keep for yourself!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It will work for so many loved ones too: your teenager cousin (who would be more perfect to sport a baby doll complexion), the beauty aficionado friend (that will certainly appreciate a cult brand like <i>Erborian</i>) or your mum (that can treat herself with these high end products).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have to admit that - although I love skincare gifts - they can be a bit boring; I love that this box set also includes a blush... and what a pretty blush!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The gift set contains:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJy36PtmstNs8lSFSi2J4YT3poCMjP9J5W6StbQuMGCumVpt8WHWSyuEiTvoMddlCU-s_Y4dI8kV_6UDHbUu3iCpkudeCVgvBdwhnnLo7HCfmUgUwP9_QK8_yGysi6CS4M867g5A-jHmjB/s1600/L1210120.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJy36PtmstNs8lSFSi2J4YT3poCMjP9J5W6StbQuMGCumVpt8WHWSyuEiTvoMddlCU-s_Y4dI8kV_6UDHbUu3iCpkudeCVgvBdwhnnLo7HCfmUgUwP9_QK8_yGysi6CS4M867g5A-jHmjB/s640/L1210120.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Erborian Dongbaek Camellia Essence:</i> you get a 2ml sample of this face serum that contains 73% of extra virgin Camellia oil which is a wild flower that grows in Korea and it's also known as the 'winter rose'; this blend of precious oils nourishes the skin, creates a barrier to protect the skin from premature aging and improves elasticity.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Erborian Pink Perfect Creme Au Diospyros Kaki:</i> this full size face primer is the secret to the Korean glow. The cream delivers 4-in-1 benefits - blurring imperfections, minimizing pores, enhancing skintone and providing a flawless base for make-up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Erborian Pink Perfect Blush:</i> this is the cutest mini blush that comes with a cushion applicator. The candy pink hue looks really pale but works! It certainly delivers in adding a healthy, translucent colour to the cheeks and removing any dullness; it's really a pretty colour and will subtly work on many skintones. The powder is ultra fine and blends really easily.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What did I say? Did I not promise to start my gift guide with fireworks? ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think it's very well priced at £40 and it also gives you the chance to try their products, if you're not familiar with this French/Korean brand.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you tried <b>Erborian</b> before? Are you gonna add this to your Santa's list?</div>

I'm a BIGGGGGG <b>Nars</b> fan and I've been wanting to try these new <b>Dual-Intensity</b> textures since the eyeshadows came out; then, I decided to go for a blush, since I'm pretty loyal to <i>Urban Decay</i> (eyeshadows-wise).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got to say that the product looked a bit waxy in the pan - and wasn't the easiest to pick up with the brush ( I used a <i>Real Techniques Blush Brush</i>, I don't know, maybe I should try a different brush) but eventually the colour was on my cheeks!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's definitely buildable, in the sense that goes on really sheer at first - again, may be a brush issue - but that way you have great control on the modulation and it applies uniformly. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I eventually chose <i>Frenzy</i> and as soon as I opened it, I regretted it: it looked too orange and - the highlighter part, too gritty.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
BUT!!! on application it just transforms beautifully - it's such a surprise and gives an instant glow to the cheeks in a healthy and natural way.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I now really love it and I reach for it nearly on a daily basis and especially when I'm in a rush as it's foolproof to apply and very flattering.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b>The Body Shop Oils Of Life Intensively Revitalising Essence Lotion*</b> is a Oil-In-Water Bi-Phase formula where the water is infused with 3 selected oils: <i>Black Cumin Seed Oil from Egypt (rich in antioxidants), Rosehip Seed Oil from Chile (containing Omega 3 and 6) </i>and<i> Camellia Seed Oil from China (naturally rich in nutritive oleic acid).</i><br />
Seeds give life to a new plant, making their oils the most concentrated sources of essential nutrients on Earth.<br />
The combination of these potent, cold pressed seed oils delivers instant results and they are suitable for every skin type and age.<br />
<br />
The lotion is a daily toning step, after cleansing and helps prepare the skin for the next step in your beauty regime: the water feeling is refreshing on the skin and I especially enjoy it in the evenings, after wearing make up all day. At the same time, the oil particles nourish the skin, leaving it soft to the touch and smoother.<br />
<br />
I'm a big fan of facial oils. I usually use them in serums/treatments form but some can feel a bit tacky on the face; this bi-phase formula is fantastic in delivering the benefits, without leaving the skin greasy. Definitely thumbs up from me!<br />
Have you tried this new <i>The Body Shop</i> range yet?<br />

The <i>Almond</i> range is a new addition from <b>Weleda</b> for 2015.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm always excited to see new releases from them since it's a brand that doesn't disappoint and that I trust - so much so that I use their products also on my baby (more on that on a future post)... and I don't think there's a better testament than that, right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Almond line already has a facial lotion, facial oil and cleansing lotion and now also includes a body lotion, body wash and hand cream to take care of the body.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The mild and gentle formula is particularly suitable for irritation-prone skin and it's been formulated with just a few, selected ingredients to minimise any reaction.</div>

The <b>Weleda Almond Sensitive Skin Body Lotion*</b> is a velvety moisturiser for the body with a milky consistency.<br />
It contains organic almond oil that strengthens the skin own protection abilities against harsh elements, a bit like mimicking the hard shell that protects the almond inside; it is also high in vitamin E and essential fatty acids.<br />
I have sensitive skin and I found it to be soothing and calming, especially now that the wind & central heating are leaving my skin particularly dry. It's not thick or sticky and easy to massage into the skin and provide lasting hydrating for the whole day.<br />
It also envelops the body with a fabulous almond scent, but not the sweet and sickening marzipan-like - a true grown up and natural version.<br />
I absolutely adore it!<br />

I was recently contacted by an over-the-sea brand -<b> <a href="http://www.mapleholistics.com/free-products/" target="_blank">Maple Holistics</a></b> - to be featured on my blog.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After a tour on their website, I was taken by their unique and committed approach to deliver a range of high quality, effective and natural products.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They kindly sent me their <b>Maple Holistics Ancient Clay Facial Mask* </b>to try; face masks are a paramount step of my beauty routine and I use 2/3 times per week.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My skin tends to be combination, so I make sure that I use a clay/charcoal mask once a week.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Clay is brilliant at drawing out impurities and this product in particular contains only 100% blend of <i>french green clay, bentonite clay and fuller's earth</i>. They all have their own therapeutic benefits and play their part in synergy to deliver impeccable results: french green clay absorbs and removes impurities from the skin; bentonite clay revitalises and softly extracts toxins; fuller's earth helps clearing from white and blackheads whilst hydrating.</div>

The mask comes in powder form and with a measuring cup; you need to mix 1 cup of product with 2 cups of water to create a paste and then you leave it on the skin for around 10 minutes. </div>

I love the dry composition which means the product will last longer; you also get a very generous amount so you can decide to use it for a body detox session.</div>

Few weeks ago, I had the chance to try some <b>Arbonne</b> products; a friend of mine is an Arbonne representative and asked for an honest and unbiased opinion about their ranges. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you're not too familiar with the brand, Arbonne was born in the USA and they are celebrating 35 years this year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They were one of the first, back in the eighties, to really look at the science of nature and how to harvest the power of the plants.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The FC5 range is named like that because it encapsulates fresh cells from 5 fruits & vegs: kiwi, strawberry, carrot, mango and pumpkin.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The <i>Arbonne FC5 Moisturizing Night Creme</i> is suitable for every skin type; it has a cooling gel consistency, light on the skin and a fresh scent.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The <i>Arbonne FC5 Exfoliating New Cell Scrub</i> is a creamy face exfoliator that is gentle enough that can be used daily; I was actually amazed how effective it was from the first use: I used it before bed and the morning after my skin was incredibly soft to the touch. It's now become an addiction to use it every evening!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The <i>Arbonne FC5 Ultra-Hydrating Hand Creme</i> is a lovely hand cream with the refreshing signature smell of this line, absorbs quickly and doesn't leave any sticky residue.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
From their make up selection, I tested the <i>Arbonne MakeUp Primer</i> which is a primer (doh) that create a smooth surface to apply your base on. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It reminds me of the <i>Daniel Sandler Retexturing Face Primer</i>, but with a better <i>INCI; </i>I love these silicony-feeling type of primers - I find they work really well to fill in pores, fine lines and prolong foundation wear.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The <i>Arbonne It's A Long Story Mascara</i> has a plastic, spiky type of wand that is my favourite kind and it's bendy so you can easily grab the small lashes too; it wore well for the whole day, I was just not too keen on the floral scent (but I'm renownedly very sensitive to smells)</div>

We also tried their baby products.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First off, the <i>Arbonne Baby Care Hair & Body Wash</i> was my favourite of the lot!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I especially loved it as a shampoo; it rinsed easily and left my baby girl hair super fluffy and soft.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the bath also, you need the tiniest amount.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Following the routine, the <i>Arbonne Baby Care Body Lotion</i> is light and absorbs quickly - soooooo important with a squirmy baby that doesn't enjoy massages ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then, the <i>Arbonne Baby Care Nappy Cream</i> has a thick consistency to create a protective barrier, but it spread easily and has a lovely 'baby' scent. Definitely a staple of any nursery!</div>

Finally, I couldn't resist to place a cheeky order too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got the <i>Arbonne Seasource Detox Spa Renewing Body Gelee</i> - a body cream that contains ocean's natural ingredients and minerals for an extra pampering and beautifying care for the body.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's super fresh on the skin and ideal after a late night gym session, to hydrate the skin and sooth sore muscles. I find I definitely sleep better too.</div>

The <b>Urban Decay Naked Smoky </b>palette* needs no presentation. Just look at it - it's stunning.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Every time there is a new naked palette coming out is hard to believe that they can come up with a better one... and sure enough they do.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All the palettes are beautiful in their own right but <i>smoky</i> is a different class, in my opinion, and a must have!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's the most versatile and - although intended for smokey looks - you can also easily create a nude look and the shades work well with any eye colour: purple is great for green eyes, browns for brown eyes and silver for blue eyes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It comes in a beautiful and sturdy case with smoke twirls on a transparent background and magnet fastenings - the print gives it a certain mysterious je ne said quoi that recalls the sexy looks that you can create wit these shadows. The quality is great, exactly what you would expect from <i>Urban Decay</i> eyeshadows.</div>

Personally, I have divided the 12 eyeshadows in 3 sections: <u>the highlighters, the greys and the neutrals</u> - there are 9 new colours and 3 exclusive ones.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Most of the shades are shimmery - the first 4 are:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>High</i> is a light champagne with a metallic finish; <i>Dirtysweet</i> is a golden bronze with yellow undertones; <i>Radar</i> is a medium brown with warm undertones; <i>Armor</i> is taupe grey with frosted finish.</div>

In the mid-section we have a selection of greys that are perfect to create shadows and smoke the eye look: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Slanter</i> is a light silvery grey with cool undertones and a pearl finish; <i>Dagger</i> is a medium grey with a blue tint; <i>Black Market </i>is the darkest shade of them all - a near black with a satin finish; <i>Smolder</i> is a blackened purple with silver finish.</div>

Finally, the right part contains the only matte shades of the palette and they are the neutral colours: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Password</i> is a true cool taupe with a matte finish; <i>Whiskey</i> is a warm, reddish brown also with matte finish; <i>Combust</i> is a pinkish nude and I can't detect any glitter here either; <i>Thirteen</i> is a white beige, perfect as a base or to neutralise any eyelid discolouration.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The palette also includes a guide to recreate 4 popular looks and a double-ended brush.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Both sides of the brush have a rounded head - the shorter has a denser consistency whilst the other side is fluffier, perfect for some blending work.</div>

Continuing with Organic September and the <b>Campaign For Clarity</b>, running this week - <b>Nourish</b> is another brand joining in the cause and deserving to be labelled organic and recognised by the <i>Soil Association.</i></div>

This serum is a fantastic helper to reduce irritation and calm down inflammation; it's particularly recommended if you struggle with problematic and sensitive skin.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The barely-there lavender scent is also calming on the mind and ideal as a last step before bedtime; it feels light and cool on the skin and absorbs in a matter of minutes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been really enjoying using it at nights and most importantly I haven't had any irritation flare up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the mornings, it's perfect to create a smooth canvas for my foundation thanks to the hyaluronic acid that plumps up the skin and reduce fine lines.<br />

<i>The Soil Association </i>announced September as the Organic Month and launched the <b>Campaign For Clarity</b>, throughout <u>Organic Beauty Week</u> - 14th to 21st September 2015.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unfortunately with no legislation in place, it can be confusing and misleading when trying to purchase products that are truly organic from those with the claim but little natural origin.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And this campaign aims to educate and encourage people to be careful and properly informed, when buying.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
During Organic Beauty Week <u>Twitter TakeOver</u> will take place to promote the benefits of choosing organic in your skincare products.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Wendy Stirling</i> - founder of <b>Botanicals</b> - is sharing few tips on how to select real organic products:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- select products with certified key ingredients;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- check that the percentage of organic ingredients is higher;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- see if the company has won any award for its commitment in the field;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- research how the product is made; often in smaller batches and greater quality;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- organic skincare doesn't need to be more expensive than luxury brands but are safer and kinder to the skin.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To round up this post, I'd like to talk about the latest product that I've been using.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The <b>Botanicals Orange Blossom Body Balm </b>is an outstanding skin moisturiser that nourish and protect the skin.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
It contains a blend of shea butter, apricot kernel, jojoba oils, neroli, patchouli, bergamot and sweet orange essential oils that give it its exotic scent, inebriating for the senses too; these ingredients derived form active plants promote the skin's natural ability to heal and regenerate.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The balm doesn't feel greasy at all and melt into the skin - its conditioning properties make it the perfect ally for post-holiday skin; it helps calm irritations, protects skin from flaking and leaves a beautiful sheen on your sun-kissed skin.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Botanicals</b> is a multi-award-winning natural organic skincare brand and the <b>Orange Blossom Body Balm</b> is 89% organic and 100% natural!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I think colourful make-up packaging can be risky as they may end up looking cheap or trashy - but <b>Kiko Milano</b> got it spot on with its latest collection for Summer 2015: <b>Miami Beach Babe</b>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The fluo packaging has an eighties & pop art feel but no chance of mistaking it for toy make-up that you used to play with when you were a little girl.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The whole collection screams sea, sun & fun! The vibrant cases are mirrored with bright and lively colours inside to create a playful and glowy look, and the light textures are ideal for the beach, too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
OMG - How cute are these polka dots on the <b>Kiko Milano Deco Delight Lipsticks</b>?!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I mean you got to want to own one of these, right? - and with 8 shades, you're surely spoiled for choice.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>06 - Margarita Dreams*</i> is a cool toned fuchsia that will look great in any season, paired with a quick rock-chick eyeliner flick.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>07 - Calypso Sun*</i> instead is a true coral that will look fabulous on tanned skin; it is also one of two limited shades available exclusively on the <a href="http://www.kikocosmetics.com/en-gb/new/miami-beach-babe.html" target="_blank">website</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The texture is super creamy with a sheer and wet-look finish, but you can still easily build up the colour with several swipes.</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Kiko Milano Double Deco Blush</b>, encased in a round and slim compact with mirror, is another irresistible item from this line.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>01 - Coral Gables* </i>is an coral peach, but definitely not too orangy and with an hint of pink.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It combines 2 shades that thanks to reflecting pearls add dimension and radiance to the cheeks; the formula is velvety to the touch and the powder blends uniformly on the skin.</div>

Finally, the range also includes the <b>Kiko Milano Party Ink Stamp Tattoo</b> - temporary tattoos for face or body. </div>

These are great fun to add a playful touch for a beach party - think a star to the corner of your eye or an intricate heart cascade on your wrist.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The stamp works really well without smudges and you can choose between an heart or a<i> star*</i>.</div>

Looking for a refreshing scent this summer? Look no further than the trusty british <b>The Body Shop</b> which came out with another cracking collection for summer!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Virgin Mojito </b>include notes of crisp mint leaves from the Caribbean and zesty lime juice and - as always with The Body Shop - the smell is spot on and accurate (without naughty calories).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The range includes 5 products: start the day with a refreshing shower with the <i>shower gel</i> and invigorating <i>body scrub</i>; follow with a cooling and moisturising <i>body sorbet</i> or the 24hr hydration of the traditional <i>body butter</i>. Finally, add another layer with the <i>body splash </i>which is a light fragrance to keep your skin beautifully scented and refreshed all day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm not too good with overpowering fragrances as they give me an headache; also, you don't want something too concentrated in the summer as the combination with the heat can created irritation too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>The Body Shop Virgin Mojito Body Splash* </b>is such a revelation!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's like splashing your body with a parfumed water that wraps you in a fluffy cloud of scent all day long. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The combination is immediately uplifting for the soul, especially if you're confined to the office instead of lazing and relaxing on a beach, this summer.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>The Body Shop Virgin Mojito Body Sorbet* </b>is definitely my favourite of the line. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The skin quenching gel texture leaves the skin with a beautiful glossy sheen, perfect for these exposed legs and arms.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's such a pleasant experience to massage into the skin and instantly absorbs, without any sticky residue.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm a long time lover of the body butters, but I've become an immediately converted to the body sorbets now - for summer and hectic days.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't find you compromise on hydration and it leaves the skin smooth to the touch.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let me just start saying that breastfeeding is not a walk in the park...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lara is now 6 months old and I'm glad and proud that I managed to exclusively breastfeed until now as I set myself to do. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are some considerations on the subject:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was lucky because breastfeeding came quite naturally to me and I never had any 'technical' challenge, like cracked nipples or engorged breasts. I had the occasional soreness during the first few weeks and I used <u>Lansinoh HPA Lanolin</u> which sorted the situation out in a matter of few days; it's expensive but I can really recommend this cream, also because it doesn't need to be washed off before breastfeeding. Btw, a midwife told me to avoid vaseline because apparently has been linked to mouth cancer (I think she meant in babies).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you've really set your heart on breastfeeding, <u>I recommend to give it a month</u>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You may be tempted to give up sooner... but you really need to experience the <i>3 weeks growing spur... </i>to understand that you can do it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then if there are any real problems, the midwives or health visitors will be the first ones to tell you to switch to formula (but it's not likely).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also, <u>don't buy any formula</u> to keep in the cupboard 'just in case'; nowadays there are many Tescos 24hrs and you can easy get some if really required, butwould be too easy to use during a particularly tiring evening or emotional night... and then you may regret it in the morning.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My biggest challenge was <u>not knowing, all the guesswork</u>: you can't really tell how much your baby is eating, you need to trust that she is getting what she needs and then rely on the scale.. so the days between weight ins were a bit stressful in the early days but surely enough she kept putting weight on steadily and following her growing curve without issues.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I resent comment that breastfeeding mums are judgemental toward bottle-feeding mums; I actually feel the opposite and I rarely volunteer the information if not asked.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At the end of the day, it's your decision - Personally, I felt that giving a bottle would have been easier in terms of logistic/practicality but at the same it was paramount FOR ME to do what I though was the best for my daughter. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was <u>my priority</u>, my personal decision and you shouldn't be threatened by it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now: I plan on carry on breastfeeding, of course. The aim is to gradually end up with a morning and an evening feed until she is about two (working schedule and baby routine permitting).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Finally, I'm gonna conclude with some <u>numbers</u> that may help you make this decision:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">By exclusively breastfeeding for 1 month - <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;">you have given your baby significant protection against respiratory allergy at 17 years of age;</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;">... for 2 months - </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;">you have given your baby significant protection against food allergy at 3 years of age;</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">... for 3 months - <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;">you have also given your baby between a 19 and 27 percent reduction in incidence of childhood Type 1 Diabetes;</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;">... for 4 months - </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;">you have reduced your baby’s risk of SIDS;</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">...for 5/6 months - <span style="line-height: 20.799999237060547px;"><b><i>You are now in the 1% of mothers who have breastfed for this long</i>!</b></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 20.799999237060547px;">You have also given your baby a 19 percent decrease in risk of childhood acute lymphocytic leukemia and a 15 percent decrease in the risk of acute myelogenous leukemia. </span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think we all agree that mascara is one of those beauty steps that you can't skip; even when you are short on time, you may pay less attention to a flawless complexion or perfectly blended eyeshadows but nothing will make you look more 'done' than a few coats of mascara.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
... now, having said that - I also have sensitive eyes that can react badly to some chemicals and don't thank me for the make-up removing sessions at the end of the day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The new improved <b>Living Nature</b> <b>Thickening Mascara*</b> is now also fragrance-free and one step closer to nature!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is completely free from synthetic and animal derivates and Lavender Oil which can be a trigger for sensitivity.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It includes halloyside clay to amplify the glance, candelilla and carnauba waxes, jojoba esters, manuka honey and Vitamin E to provide a smooth application and nourish and protect the lashes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is available in <i>Jet Black</i> - for an more intense effect - or <i>Blackened Brown</i> - or a nude look.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like the long and 'old-school' fat wand that coats the lashes with one swipe and it's also impressively lengthening; the formulation is not too wet - just how I like it - and doesn't leave any clumps. Personally, I found that even after few coats it gives a natural effect, with separation and holding the curl all day... but most importantly NO MORE compromises between itchy, streaming and torturing eyes or wearing eye make up! Yay!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you tried Living Nature before? Do you also have sensitive eyes?</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's no secret that after a pregnancy, women may struggle with their locks; apparently, as a consequence of all the hormones leaving your body, you tend to see an increase in hairloss and I certainly noticed this unpleasant 'side effect'.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this and other reasons, I have also started to made a conscious choice of using more natural products and when I heard of <b>Naturalmente</b> - an Italian brand - I couldn't pass on the chance to try this line from my home land.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As the name suggests, their products are created using pure essential oils and substances of flowers and plants that are grown organically and protecting the ecosystem; even the energy used to produce comes from wind power generated in Tuscany and with very low CO2 emissions. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The fragrances also service as Aromatherapy for the soul and they have banned silicons, parabens, petrochemical oils and by products, artificial colouring and SLS too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Basically, Naturalmente strongly believes in the respect and nourishment of both the person and the planet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was surprised to see such a huge range of products for a (relatively) small and local company and they really cater for every need; you have shampoos and conditioners but also masks, styling products, treatments and colour enhancers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first product I'm testing is the <b>Naturalmente Solution-Pac Ricostruttore Multivitaminico Aloe e Sandalo*</b>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have never heard of a 'Solution Pac' before which is a protein rebuilder to be used pre-shampoo; it is full of vitamins, minerals and proteins to repair and protect the scalp & hair from environmental and mechanical factors, like heat styling tools.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've also been trying out the <b>Naturalmente Shampoo Agrumi Volumizzante e Rinforzante*</b> which has a lovely citrusy scent. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Because of the lack of chemicals, I wasn't expecting any or very little foam, but I actually found that the shampoo lathered and spread well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The volumizing effect is real and my hair were left full of body, light and silky to the touch - and because of the impressive result after the first wash, I have no reason to doubt the revitalising benefits in the long run.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

When you are pregnant, google becomes your best and worst friend. I learned to stick to 'reputable' message boards and NHS endorsed websites, but in any case you will most likely find yourself googling A LOT: a new twitch in your pelvis area or kicks (umm) down there.. and as soon as the mighty line starts auto-populate, you feel relief and that you're not alone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On your dozen searches a day - kidding (not really!) - you will read A LOT and come across the same stuff/tips all the times... so why the hell was I not prepared for these??!!:<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- <u>Growing Spurs</u>: at around 3 weeks, your newborn will want to feed ALL THE TIME! Like that, out of the blue, she started wanting to feed every hour and I was pretty much nursing around the clock. Again, a quick search on the web and you come across the growing spurs... AND WHY NOBODY PREPARED YOU FOR THIS? They are exactly what they sound like: baby growing, hence wanting more food. And rejoy, there are several in the first year - but you will learn to recognise them.<br />
<br />
- <u>Wonder Weeks</u>: so your baby is 12 weeks and has become incredibly cranky, doesn't sleep well and putting 2 & 2 together, you realise that he is going through another development leap. These are basically like growing spurs but for the brain where babies learn new skills/reach milestones.<br />
<br />
- <u>The 4 month Sleep Regression</u>: (Touch wood) Lara has been having a smooth transition with this change. I don't like the word 'regression' - it's more like a change where the infant starts to sleep in cycles like an adult so having 'light sleep phases' where she is prone to wake up because she hasn't learnt to self-soothe yet.<br />
And your best defence is the attack: teach your baby to self-soothe from the beginning! It will probably save you a lot of stressful and tearful time when you attempt to sleep training, later on.<br />
<br />
<div>
- <u>TMI ALERT!!! Your first Number 2 after birth... is like giving birth all over again!</u> And I had a c-section, mind you, so it's possible that I may be a tad exaggerating here but - BELIEVE ME - I was kind of glad that I had a caesarean. </div>
<div>
Sure! You may be worried to pull stitches down there but I was also wary to pull my stitches inside and outside (which I really hope it takes more than that!).<br />
It's not only a psychological block, so if you're still pregnant get your doctor/midwife to give you some Lactulose that is like a sugary syrup and makes all the difference (also safe for breastfeeding). That way you don't need to waste time to the GP once your newborn is here and a million other things to think about. </div>
<br />
Please, be aware that this is to be viewed like a <i>checklist - </i>Topics that I'd recommend you read about because there are reasons behind your baby suddenly temperament changes. There are plenty of exhaustive information out there and what I found interesting is that, althought very baby is unique, they do follow the same developments/stages in quite a set timeframe... and it's reassuring to know that it is 'normal'!</div>
