Other subscription plans are available - Subscribe HERE.   Let's look inside May's box:     Box value: £67.00   Niice! Five products, four of which are from brands that I have not tried before. Four out of the five are full-sized products and there is one sample sachet.     Seascape Island Apothecary Refresh Hand Lotion (rrp £16.00)   This is a very generous full-sized product containing 300ml. Beautifully packaged (I particularly love that the design continues on the inside of the box) but I did personally think that the extra cellophane wrap around the box was unnecessary. This is a gorgeous light-weight hand lotion with a refreshing and zesty Lemongrass and Geranium scent. Non-sticky, it absorbs beautifully. I'd love to try some more from...

  It's been an utter pleasure trying out various samples of products from Danish natural skincare brand Omoi. I recently won a giveaway, jointly hosted by Casa Mencarelli and Omoi and Krystele from Omoi very kindly added a super generous silk drawstring bag full of samples from her stunning range.         Omoi are a Danish brand with a French twist. The name Omoi is a contraction of the French words "Oh Moi" and is grounded on the philosophy of making time to take care of oneself - it's all about 'Me Time'!    The products are so beautifully branded and presented in blue glass jars and pots - full size products are also presented in a white card cylinder tub. What I'm really loving about them is that although they are simple, and often multi-purpose and the ingredients are minimal, they're not just plain and perfunctory products. Krystele has clearly put an incredible amount of thought into which ingredients she uses so that the ...

  Zenon Kition Essential Bliss Shampoo £7.99    Essential Bliss Conditioner £8.99 BUY HERE   * Disclaimer: PR - Links are not affiliated. These products were sent to me in return for an honest review. No content input from the brand.     When Zenon Kition reached out to me recently asking if I'd like to choose some of their products to try out, I instantly zoomed in on their Essential Bliss Shampoo and Conditioner. Having previously tried (and loved) their Rose Water Floral Beauty Mist  I was already acquainted with the brand. I was also aware that they are, first and foremost, a hair salon who make their own natural hair care range.   For ages now I've been looking to switch my regular hair care products over to hair care products with naturally derived ingredients. But to be honest, I've been a bit more nervous of making the switch than I was with skincare and body care.   Let me explain why.... I...
