Sarah’s Summer Favourites

Ooh it’s been a while since I last did some favourites… thought I’d do a round-up of my favourites through the summer as a catch-up!

 

Sanctuary Spa Wet Skin Miracle

I’ve loved this stuff for ages but I especially love it in the summer as I am lucky enough to tan quite quickly and this really helps to moisturise my skin after a shower/bath. I especially love that I can put it on straight away after I’m out of bath/shower and put it on and then just hang about in my towel/gown for a bit. I mean doesn’t everyone just chill then? Well I do, before the kids/dog finds me haha. Read More

Dr. Botanicals: Moroccan Rose Superfood Facial Oil (Review)

I was invited to review this as part of the Dr. Botanicals reviewer club, I was given a discounted price but my reviews are completely honest.

Here’s all the blurb:

“This Moroccan Rose infused Facial oil is packed full of minerals and vitamins, all working together to rejuvenate, renew and protect skin. Rich in antioxidants and moisturising properties to keep your skin protected and hydrated when it needs it most.

We believe oils and plant extracts can make a genuine difference to skin. Never tested on animals, this range embodies our belief in the potent power of botanicals.

Sam’s July Favourites

Even though in July I celebrated three birthdays, mine included, all of which were so much fun, it was a very busy month work wise and the heat has been really getting to me. I live in Ireland, but lately it’s felt like I live on the actual sun! I’ve been basically trying to hibernate and avoid it, I’m far too ginger and pale to be outside. 😛 That hasn’t stopped me from shopping and buying lots of new goodies, I mean, really nothing could. LOL.

Check out my latest favourites, I haven’t included the copious amounts of cake I ate…Everyone knows cake is the best thing ever.

Sarah’s May Favourites

May Favourites

So I’ve noticed that Sam regularly puts food favourites in and I’ve no idea why I don’t… I love food! Anyway, May was a good month for me finding new chocolate obsessions. Firstly, the white chocolate Twix is simply the dream! Dare I say that I probably love it more than the milk chocolate one. Also anyone else remember Flipz? I love that they are back on a revival at the moment. Chocolate covered salted pretzels are really the dream. The dark chocolate ones are fab but the white chocolate fudge ones are probably my favourite, but I ate them before I could take this photo. There’s definitely a white chocolate theme. Read More

Why I’m still loving Pick ‘n’ Mix from Feel Unique

I wrote back in 2016 about Feel Unique’s Pick ‘N’ Mix service and I’ve used it ever since (admittedly I have probably missed a few months here and there). The deal is that you can get 5 samples for £3.95 (free delivery) and you are then given a voucher for £3.95 off your next shop.

I love it for perfume samples, I just love trying new scents and also getting the smaller bottles which are great for traveling or just carrying in my handbag. I do tend to look for the more girthy sample sizes of skincare samples. Some of the Burts Bees ones have been super sizes.
