How to re-energise your skin routine this Spring

Sponsored post
Spring has officially sprung and although we may all be in isolation we can start to appreciate the little things in life like working from home with the sun on your face or sitting in the garden you have not really used till now. 
Jurliques_Nutri-Define_Supreme_Range
Something I know I take for granted is my skin. On somedays the skincare routine I take can only last a few minutes but recently I have revamped my routine for Spring with a little help from Jurlique. The effects have worked wonders providing suppler & softer hydration, reducing my wrinkles (especially the new ones from motherhood) and generally making my skin look refreshed for the new season.

Winter can play havoc with your skin with the cold weather sapping the moisture up like a sponge. So I have been using Jurlique's new Nutri-Define Supreme Range which consists of six new products, all of which can be used morning and evening for the main aim of reducing the dreaded sign of ageing and generally restoring the beauty back into my skin.

First things first; the packaging ticks the insta worthy box, just check out the photos, they will look beautiful in any bathroom and secondly another big check is the collection uses all natural ingredients.

This anti-aging range can combat your skin problems for Spring ready skin.


 The six key botanical extracts used in the range, utilise those from Jurlique's signature blend - Rose, Calendula, Marshmallow and lavender  which are filled with antioxidants and anti-inflammation properties that penetrate below the skin surface.

In addition are the two super ingredients that help rejuvenate the skin, plump it up and hydrate: 

  • Spilanthes Extract: scientifically proven to improve skin's collagen production.
  • Horseradish Extract: helps firm skin to smooth the appearance of deep lines.

NEW Delivery system:

  • Biosome6: Jurlique's breakthrough liposome delivery system which features in the six new products delivers powerful actives into your skin by stabilising the six botanical plant extracts. It also targets the damaged skin to keep skin hydrated. 
So what is the Nutri-Define Spring Skincare ritual?

Turn back time

Nutri-Define Supreme Cleansing Foam - start and end the day with removing any left over makeup, impurities and pollution off your skin. You just add water to a small amount to create a luxurious foam cleanser with polishing Jojoba beads which gently exfoliate and remove dead skin to rewind your skin back to it's original beauty by smoothing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This leaves you will with a luminous complexion and your only on the first step.

Conditioning is not just for your hair


Nutri-Define Supreme Conditioning Lotion - This is a new one for me, I have not used a conditioning lotion before but it is a game changer. You are hit with another blast of immediate hydration after you apply the lightweight lotion.

The conditioning lotion works hard to replenish the natural lipid barrier and moisturises ensuring your skin is smooth and radiant adding to your already luminous skin.

Luminous complexion

Nutri-Define Supreme Rejuvenating SerumA serum has been in my beauty regime since I turned 20, I see it as a key requirement for my skin and the Jurlique Nutri-Define Supreme Rejuvenating Serum is a winner. It glides on with silky smooth texture, targeting those pesky wrinkles, firming and restoring your complexion. Your skin will feel instantly hydrated and smoother.

REHYDRATE
Jurliques_Nutri-Define_Supreme_Range

Nutri-Define Supreme Restorative Rich Cream - rehydrate your skin with this rich cream which will help restore your skin back to ultimate glory sorting out any dry skin issues whilst targeting anti-ageing to leave skin soft and supple.


Nutri-Define Supreme Restorative Light CreamA bit lighter than the Nutri-Define Supreme Restorative Rich Cream, this lightweight replenishing moisturiser will still hit a powerful punch of intense hydration as its easily absorbed to smooth your skin for a final boost of radiance.

A touch of luxury
Jurliques_Nutri-Define_Supreme_Range

Nutri-Define Supreme Eye Contour Balm - after you have used your favourite serum or moisturiser this rich eye balm firms, revitalise and brightens. It has an applicator for the full luxe experience so you can easily smooth around the eye contour area. 

With the earlier starts to the day this rich cream with illuminate under your eye so you will not only look refreshed but visibly younger with the botanicals firming your delicate skin to reduce the appearance of lines.

I hope this helps in re-energising your skin routine this Spring.

Prices for the range start from £32 and they are available here. I also have a discount code for 20% off if you spend £50 just use: T2G20.

Friday Favourites: Peels | Eggs | Spring Scents

Oh thank Jimmy Choo its Friday and the Bank Holiday…..I have been super busy still have no honeymoon booked (hoping to finalise this today) very confused and can’t get my head around the prices, my cat it being a fuzzy bugger and is demanding crushed biscuits on top of this food, damn Felix Sensations for creating something with crunchy bits, the Sheba is just not cutting the mustard and for some reason we brought 50 pouches...I say we I mean Adam.

In other news my family is over, we have a family wedding next week, so there is lots of Cava and food going around and figuring out where everyone will stay next week.

So some things I have been loving over the past few weeks are:

Glycolic Peels

With my mission to try every facial in London I was excited to try my first Glycolic peel. I did have visions of going red like Samantha from Sex and the City but thought what the hell I will just have to take a few days hibernating at home!

The ‘Get the Glow’ Glycolic Peel by Dr Krystyna was held at the pastel wonderland that is Blush and Blow London in Parsons Green. I instantly fell in love with Dr Krytyna you know you are in safe hands and totally forgot about going red and blotchy (and she promised that doesn't happen these days).

I have been having a lot of LED facials recently and microdermabrasion but glycolic peels go that level deeper into your skin to exfoliate those dead skin cells to repair and replenish to get my ready for walking down that aisle.

The peel that I had was by Figorla using glycolic acid (stronger that the same acid thats in our high street brought products like Nip + Fab or Clearisil) the peel is quick, only 30 minutes so you can nip in during lunch if you would like you get a cleanse and the the peel is left on for 3 minutes then luscious serums are applied.

There was no pain or side effects and definitely no redness, you feel a little tingly and your skin feels like a babies bum straight after and after a few days your skin looks and feels incredible I can safely say I have got my glow back.

Easter Time
Easter is only a few days away and I am super excited about all the Chocolate I am going to consume with my bestie in Jersey. Eggs don't just come in Chocolate form though I would be pretty happy if I got the L'Occitane Easter Egg with a little beauty treat hidden inside. This Cherry Blossom Egg has hidden away miniatures of Cherry Blossom Shower Gel, Cherry Blossom Hand Cream and Cherry Blossom Soap all for £15, you can also get an Almond Beauty Easter Egg as well.

But you never can go wrong with Chocolate and if you are around Clapham Junction pop into the new HEMA store at the station as they have the best Easter chocolate at super low prices, look how cute the pink bunny rabbit is.

Getting My Tan On

Winter is hopefully over, if I keep thinking positive thoughts I am sure the sun will come out and stay at some point soon. Anyway whilst its not I have the new Bondi Sands One Hour Express which is making be golden.

I have used it as I prepare to jet off to Jersey. It takes one hour, you need to rise it off after, if your not looking for sun kissed leave it on for another hour or two. The two best points about this tan is its 1. foam and 2. smells of coconuts, no fake tan smell over here just a sun kissed Australian looking tan! A bottle from Bondi Sands, £18.99.

SPRING SCENTS
To help me get in the food for Spring I am looking to new scents and the one that I am using at the moment is: So Real, Cheap & Chic Moschino
In the fun iconic bottle of Olive Oil and Spring notes of bitter orange, raspberry and blackberry sorbet with floral notes of pink peony and jasmine coming through. 

Prices starting from £29.50 which will be launching exclusively with The Perfume Shop on 22nd April 2018.

The Moschino Gold Fresh is another fun one as it looks like a cleaning product and whilst thinking Why?! you don't really care because its funny.

Friday Favourites: Bottomless Brunch | Reading | Healthy Treats

Friday faves is back, giving you a run down on what I have been up to / my favourite things have been during the week – hope you enjoy.

Bottomless Brunches
Why not?! The weather is getting colder so we need some more indoor activities and why not mix that with bubbles and a poached egg or two. Gillray's in Waterloo is now offering bottomless brunch and you don’t need to just choose from bunch items either, burgers are on the menu coupled with stunning views of London to stare lovingly at whilst sipping on endless bubbles.
London_bottomless_brunch
Check out the menu here or book now.

Facials
Down the road from me in Esher is Jill Zander a Courthouse Medi Spa and as part of my new wedding regime I am looking to get monthly facials to make sure my skin is in tip top condition for the big day. I decided to try out a snazzy facial for my first one called LightFusion which costs £60 for 30 minutes and is an intensive light facial although you feel totally relaxed, even though the facial suggest heat with lights you feel nothing just pure relaxation. LightFusion focus on tackling issues like acne, blemishes, wrinkles and pigmentation and my skin felt super soft and blemish free for the next few weeks. You also take home an intensive all night moisturiser to sleep in as the last final step in the treatment.

Also Jill Zander offer so many other treatments from lashes to fat melting treatments so I think it won’t be too long until I am back.

Baking
My favourite cupcake shop has launched an updated / extended version of my favourite cookbook: TheHummingbird Bakery Cookbook.
Glossier
The US Cult favourite has landed in the UK. The cheeky brand ethos of Glossier has already become a firm favourite with the UK and its only been here for a few months. You can also schedule to get any products delivered every 1,2 or 3 months instead of just the one off. Some of my faves are:
The perfect mask for when you skin feeling dry with almond oil, squalane and that important ingredient of hyaluronic acid to help pump your skin full of goodness. 

Super Bounce complements the Moisturizing Moon Mask perfectly, re-hydrating and plumping the skin in an instant giving you a little bit of 'Bounce'

Reading
I usually only read on holiday because I simply don't give myself enough time during the week to read but Adam brought me a little gift: Dan Brown, Origin. If you don't know the author he has written a little book called The Da Vinci Code. His books are dark, clever and I love a bit of Robert Langdon, I am only through the first few chapters but it’s already one of my favourites apart from Harry Potter

BUY NOW.
Squirrel Sisters
If you three its £5 at the moment for these healthy treats as they have recently launched in Ocado...each snack in under 91 calories and with being vegan, raw, gluten free, paleo and no added sugar it ticks alot of boxes. If you are not sure which one to try first go for Cacao Brownie which is my favourite. #TreatYourHealth

Gifts for your Bridesmaids

Gifts for your Bridesmaids
Hello Lovelies,

So I thought I would actually start talking about my wedding, the blog has been a bit neglected as I am finding everything a tad stressful yet I have basically got NO WHERE and I am actually drowning in WEDMIN or however you like to call it I like to call it 123821389 different companies trying to sell products for a ridiculously high price and there is FAR too much choice…and BREATHE.

Anyway let me talk about something I have actually ticked off my to-do list: picking my Bride Tribe or Bridesmaids.

Tip: Pick your bridesmaids early as you need help lots and lots of help. I have had friends who even added to their bridesmaids later down the line as there was so much to do.

So at the moment I have four bridesmaids, my Sister, Cousin and two best friends. I wanted to do something instead of just asking them all via text. I got these adorable ‘scratch’ cards from Not On The High Street so you could hide a secret message within the gold foil balloon and of course mine wasWill you be my bridesmaid?’ the inside is blank so you could use this card for anything and it is only £3.90 which is the price of a normal card nowadays.

Alongside this I also gave each bridesmaid a personalised fragrance that reminded me of them in some way or another Victor& Rolf, Flowerbomb, Dior,Miss Dior, Elie Saab, Le Parfum and Gucci Bamboo you can get these personalised with a name or a message (up to 66 characters) via The Perfume Shop engraving service which I just fell in love with the idea for it to be a personal gift.
