IT’S THAT time of year again; we are all getting invited to endless celebrations and Christmas parties. So it’s a good idea to work out a formula to beat that ‘I have nothing to wear’ last minute panic. Relaxing and taking care of ourselves will ensure that we feel and look our very best at all times… whatever you have in your wardrobe!

Lipgloss duet: Not sure which colour to go for? Why not take Diane Von Furstenberg’s lipgloss duet giving you the choice as the party warms up… My favourite is the tropic/flame combination. The perfect party gloss to match your mood.

Crabtree and Evelyn’s Lavender Hand therapy
Do your hands need therapy? Don’t forget to take care of your hands, as every-day cold weather, central heating and exposure to harsh detergents and water can mean that they can become dehydrated, dry and prone to wrinkling.
Hand Therapy contains a blend of moisturisers and herbal extracts – shea butter, calendula, clover and yarrow – which leaves your skin in optimum condition naturally without a greasy residue.
Ideal for dry cutiles and skin. Simply massage and let the pure lavender oil help to heal, whilst yarrow and calendula calms and soothes tender skin.
Remember that your hands speak volumes, so keep them conditioned at all times.
