Clarisonic Nautical Summer Collection - Promo & Giveaway!

Clarisonic Mia 2 in pink!  Just in time for summer!

So... some good news.  Combining things I like - the summer, the colour pink, freebies, giveaways, celebrations, limited edition things... I can promote the news that there's a fab new LE Clarisonic Mia2 on the way, in time for the Summer as part of their Nautical Summer Collection, and it comes in two colours - help yourself either to a Faded Rose or a Sunwashed Peach version, and of course is every bit as fantastic as the "usual" Clarisonic Mia (as you can see from this post, the lovely ArtyMama raved about hers!)

Jurlique Citrus Hand Cream - review

For today's Monday with MontyC, I wanted to introduce you to one of my longstanding obsessions;  handcream, and a particular brand I'm loving.  I am somewhat besotted with handcream in general;  I have tubes of the stuff absolutely everywhere, sitting room, bedroom, handbag, office desk, office drawer, other office drawer, other handbag... :-).  I honestly believe that I have the driest hands in this side of the equator - they can get so dry that the skin on my fingers peel.  Yuck, right!?  So I apply the stuff liberally, multiple many times a day to avoid this happening.  When a very dear friend of mine gave me the Jurlique Citrus Hand Cream as a gift, says I, bring it on...

MontyC's Winter Skincare Saviours

I do realise we're coming into Spring now but maybe these might help you out next year!
