Erase Those Lines...

Buy Logona Wrinkle Therapy Fluid

I thought I would today tell you about one of my skincare secrets which I discovered a while ago. It is called Logona Wrinkle Therapy Fluid and can only be described as a line eraser in a bottle! This little miracle literally removes lines before your very eyes, and is perfect for a night out or when you are feeling a little older than you should. You can apply it to your whole face, but I tend to apply it just where the lines are bothering me. After about a minute, the lines have visibly reduced! It even works over make up! To discover it for yourself, simply click the link above and visit Love Lula. Enjoy!

A Natural 'Fake' Tan

I decided today that whilst being pale may be interesting, that my face could do with a little added colour. And not wanting to prematurely age my skin, I decided to use my faithful Lavera Summer Glow. This is an amazing product that I discovered last year from my friend Jo, who works for Lavera. It is a facial moisturiser with a touch of fake tan in, which is perfect for the fair skinned or for building up a tan over a number of days. Although natural, the colour develops in a few hours and has left me looking much perkier! You can find Lavera in most health food shops, or go to their website www.lavera.co.uk for more information.

Greener Gardens...

I recently came across this website, Hen and Hammock, whilst looking for suppliers of recycled glass lanterns. They sell sustainable garden products and home wares including gorgeous recycled woolen blankets made in Wales, beautiful pure beeswax candles, natural soaps to grace the most stylish of bathrooms and traditional and sustainable British made deckchairs, as well as all sorts of gardening essentials such as trugs, oak plant labels and so on. Their ethos is to only sell beautifully designed products which benefit the environment too. Check them out on www.henandhammock.co.uk and start making your Christmas wish list!

Bamboo Socks anyone?...

Well, my travels around the green web have been brief today - we have the final photoshoot for the book tomorrow and I have spent most of the day preparing. However, I did come across Rapanui, an ethical, eco friendly and sustainable clothing company. From t-shirts printed with wind turbines on soft organic cotton to bamboo socks, everything on their site is kind to both the environment and people. Have a browse online at www.rapanuiclothing.com
