Feet treat

I tend to get busier at work in the lead up to Christmas, as I am sure many of you also do. Twin that with part season, which basically means wearing heels every blinking night, essentially means my feet hurt.

Actually, they don't just hurt. They balls of my feet feel as though they have been set alight and they throb when I eventually take the blessed shoes off.

Well, that is all in the past for me, and could be for you also.

Moisturising your tootsies is not enough. You need an intensive and healing foot cream and I have found just the thing. The Ahava Mineral Foot Cream.

I want my feet to feel smooth, be nourished and maintain a soft texture and appearance. This cream achieves this.

It contains tea tree oil, which is anti-fungal, aloe vera which is healing and a number of oils, among them avocado and jojoba which soothes and nourishes.

Do your feet a favour and grab yourself some ASAP!

Sweet smell of success

Buying for mums is such a tricky thing.

We love them to bits, but they always says things:"You shouldn't have wasted your money on me", or worse still:"It's lovely" while relegating to the back of the wardrobe, never to be seen again.

But I think this Christmas I have cracked it.

After having tried it out, I have decided that Bobbi Brown's subtle, sophisticated, but distinctly Christmassy new fragrance, Bobbi's Party is the one for her.

I adore this scent. It is warm and spicy but not overpowering. The gentle aroma evokes Christmas and cosy evenings but doesn't smell like a Starbucks Gingerbread Latte. There is a hint of floral too- so it feels feminine but again, not sickly, because there is a touch of sandalwood there to bring it back to earth.

It's available throughout the UK in most department stores. In fact, save yourself a whole load of bother, order it online and click on the gift wrapped option!
