Shower Treats

If you were going on holiday, you could always, buy a set of travel bottles and fill them up with your current shower gel. Or you could take the fun route, chuck a few of these cute and colourful Weleda limited edition mini body washes at random in your case and be surprised at your holiday destination.



If you are new to the brand (I am), Weleda is a German organic brand committed to all things natural, organic, eco-friendly, sustainable and fair trade, so committed that they won the Best Ethical Range’ award in the latest Natural Health magazine Beauty Awards 2012.Last year Weleda celebrated their 90 years of existence releasing a Mini Body Oil Gift Set. This year, they have released a set containing five of their best-selling pampering body washes (Citrus, Sea Buckthorn, Pomegranate, Wild Rose and Lavender) all using a cleaning base of coconut, sugar and sesame oil.







To my surprise, you can find Weleda products at Boots but I can't find this mini shower gel gift set online yet. Alternatively, you can get it on Weleda online at £9.95.



Do you know Weleda? Is there a product that you would recommend?


disclosure: I heard about this set by email today and received no compensation to write about it.

Christmas brought to you by Philosophy

Some would say it's not really Christmas until the Christmas Coca Cola advert comes up on telly. I think that of the 'festive bake' pasty from Greggs. If you're not in either of those two, the absolutely gorgeous Christmas Range from Philosophy will certainly give you the Christmas spirit or nothing else will. They've done it again this year and the range looks gorgeous and I want it all. It was hard to pick three (Why am i picking three? I think part of me subconsciously expect a 3 for 2 offer on this, like at Boots/Sainsbury's/Superdrug..) but here are my favourites:


1. The Philosophy Glow and Behold (Shampoo, Shower gel & Bubble Bath, 480ml £13) The colour reminds me of a chocolate scented colour shampoo for brunettes. But don’t be mistaken, this huge bottle promises to deliver a fresh citrus scent.






2. The Philosophy Warm & Toasty (3-in-1 Shower Gel Gift Set £20.50)
- Double Rich Hot Cocoa 3-in-1 Shampoo, Shower Gel & Bubble Bath (180ml)
- Hot Buttered Rum 3-in-1 Shampoo, Shower Gel & Bubble Bath (180ml)
- Hazelnut Espresso 3-in-1 Shampoo, Shower Gel & Bubble Bath (180ml)
This is another gift set which I would buy for myself :) In fact I would keep the cocoa and the hot buttered rum for me and give the hazelnut one as a gift. I am very generous, aren’t I?



and finally, in the most Christmassy package ever, the Philosophy Holiday Greetings (Mailbox Beauty Gift Set £18) This one is a dilemma for me: Too gorgeous to give as a present but then again the packaging is too special to keep it for yourself . The gift set contains:
- Brown Butter Cookie Shower Gel (120ml)
- Pink Frosted Cookie Lip Shine (14g)
- Coconut Macaroon Body Lotion (57ml)

Are you feeling greedy Christmassy yet? All these beauty gift sets are available from JohnLewis.com but make sure to shop around beforehand and as always look out for free postage vouchers :) What if there are other gift sets from Philosophy you would prefer over my own selection? I’ve made a quick slideshow with some other products from the Philosophy Christmas Range. I hope you like it. Any excuses to feature a little bit of Stevie …
