Yes. You heard it. I did say Christmas. In July. Honestly, with all companies having the Christmas press events over July, there is no way I cannot obsess about it.
There are so many lovely things (see what I did there?!) coming up from amazing brands, I just cannot wait.
The bra – often an outfit’s unsung hero – has been under fire recently.
Turns out that our always supporting friend could be not that supporting after all. A French study shows some evidence that bras are actually sagging our breasts more! Shock, horror.
Professor Jean-Denis Rouillon from the University of Franche-Comté says that his studies, involving of 330 women between the ages of 18-35 over the last 17 years, show that wearing the garment could actually make the nipples drop 7mm more per year (!!!) than if not wearing it.
Apparently breasts will not develop support tissue when a bra is worn, thus sagging quicker. On top of that, some of the participants also said their posture was improved and they were breathing better.
Although he found evidence that bras don’t help keep our breasts perky, Professor Rouillon said he would not advise straight away that we all go bra-less.
I am not sure how I feel about this one; I certainly welcome removing that restriction, but I don’t know if I could adopt it 24×7.
What about you? Would you revolutionise and burn you bras to free your boobs for good?
Oh how I love a tan. Although I resort to the fake stuff more often than not, nothing beats the real thing.
I never pass on hand creams as they’re something I use all the time, one after another.
I had never tried anything from Comvita and was pleasantly surprised when I tried their Hunixa Manuka honey nourishing hand & nail cream.
HeShi is among one of the best self tanning products I’ve ever tried. I knew, from previous experience, that the HeShi Gold Foaming Mousse wouldn’t disappoint.
Dove has been my deodorant of choice for quite sometime now, as I am very keen on the idea of using a deodorant that cares for your skin on top of protecting you.
And with the launch of Soft Feel, Dove is very unlikely to lose its crown with me!

I say about time! H&M is finally stepping up their beauty game. Sara Wallander, concept designer at H&M Beauty says it will be “fashion for the face”. I salute you and look forward to that!
I always looked at H&M beauty items as a bit of a limp proposition – just to tick the box, more than anything.
A hand cream is something that always should be in our handbags. Currently, I am using the this works energy bank hand makeover cream.
This month, a brand that I am very fond of has some exciting news: it is the very first exfoliating body wash from Dove and I have to say they really got it right.
The Dove Gentle Exfoliating Nourishing Body Wash has that nourishing Dove effect combined with a very gentle, yet effective exfoliator.
Nothing says spring more than daffodils. The lovely Narciso Sublime smoothing oil’s fragrance from L’Erbolario takes you immediate to the season, even if it’s still a bit chilly out there.
