Winter Saviours

THERE'S no denying it - winter is on its way. Icy winds, cold rain, a lack of sunlight and the dehydrating effects of central heating all serve to wreak major havoc with our skin and hair. Combat the effects of winter with my pick of nourishing skin and hair care products from top beauty brands as well as my own favourite products.  

Taking care of your skin and hair doesn't have to break the bank, so look out for my saver options.

LIPS - Elizabeth Arden celebrates 100 years of beauty with limited edition versions of its best-selling Eight Hour Cream. Protect lips from the chilly winter wind with the Lip Protectant Stick SPF 15 from the range, available in stores now. £18.

Vaseline have recently extended their range of lip products. Their classic tins of lip balms are accompanied by cute lip balm sticks! Hurray! Finally!

The lip therapy range comes in four different versions Original, rose, aloe- vera and cocoa butter – each stick is enriched with oils and waxes that help protect the lips from the cold as well as keeping your lips moisturised. I have long awaited a stick version of my favourite; the Rose version.

The balms are hydrating, soothing and the rose one leaves your lips with a delicate hint of pink. The other versions don't contain any pigment making them unisex. You guys have got to keep those lips soft for us ladies!
The new Vaseline Lip Therapy balms are on sale now and at £1.99 each, its a hot buy!

WOW, the show was off the scale! Amma and I turned it out today... we work well together...

I'm back at school, college to be more precise, I've decided to further increase my knowledge of radio production and presenting. Ive found myself in a one-year intensive A-level (i'm loving it) which is being taught by a fabulous Scottish woman named Sheila Smith. I couldn't be more in my element if I tried. She says she's grateful as i'm the only one in class who understands a thing she says! hehe
