Mini A/W Godsends!

Now that we're fast-approaching that pesky time of year between Guy Fawkes and Christmas, when you've no longer got the nice colours of Autumn, not to mention the last of the good driving conditions but it's not yet Christmassy enough to be cozy...well these are the little saviours that are going to carry me through to that winter wonderland!

Bobbi Brown Extra Balm Rinse: don't let the slight Simpson shade of this heavingly cleanser put you off. I'd been coverting this balm-style cleanser/make-up remover since my Uni days and finally bit the bullet, swallowed back the tears of a rather hefty price tag (£43.00) and ordered it. If anyone's wondering if it's worth buying, let's just say it's magic for the face like peanut butter is for the soul! I actually can't stop using it and given the size of the tub and tiny amount you need, I can safely say, even for the most enthusiastic skincare junkies, this sunny stuff will a long way!

Yankee Candle Be Thankful- the excess of jar and lack of actual candle in this photo shows how much I burn this. It just smells sooooo good: warning-May cause hunger cravings for a substantial amount of hearty homemade pies. Try not to look at the photo. Consider yourself warned!

Tone it Up: Beach Babe DVD- thanks to these damn dark nights, a lack of fluorescent gear and a general dose of "oh it's too late now", my running routine seems to have ran out on me entirely. However Karena and Katrina's original DVD (they've brought out a new one now which I'm eyeing up) is my current choice of workout that makes you feel like you're working out outside (on a Hawaiian beach no less) without the actual stepping outside (and subsequent freezing to death). The workouts are short, very effective (see my personal fave: HIIT the beach) and if just looking at these girls' figures doesn't make you want to work out-nothing will. Def worth checking out their videos on YouTube!
