Let’s dive into the gifted items I was sent and why I love them so much

Mango

If you like the soft-squidgy-ness of juicy mango and its sweet luscious scent, you’re in for a treat with the Mango fragrance and body care range.

Sweetness & Sunshine Mango Essentials Gift

This Christmas gift is the next best thing to a tropical paradise! The set includes:

My thoughts on the gift set

This set is fantastic. Such a luxurious scent and some of the items are only available in the set. It also comes in a cute gift package and has everything you need to provide your loved ones with the self-care they need!

Let’s dive into the trusted favourites I buy every year

Strawberry Beauty & Skincare Range

The strawberry range takes me back to my younger days. The fruity smell is so luxurious and I have just the person in mind for this cute little gift set.

Whipping up memories of summer sports and sweet treats, the heart-shaped strawberry could be said to be the most symbolic of berries, but it’s all the more lovable as our splendidly scented Strawberry fragrance and body care range. Each of our strawberry beauty products contains real strawberry seed oil, bringing the plump, juicy fruit to your bathroom and on-the-go bag.

Jolly & Juicy Strawberry Essentials Gift

I love the fruity body butter from The Body Shop, but I think strawberry has to be my fave.

My Favourite Self-Care Products From The Body Shop

, 16 Comments

AFF – products gifted in exchange for a review

20% off discount code MCA20 until the end of the year (Including Advent Calendars)

If you follow my blog, you will know I love The Body Shop. Since being a teenager and buying animal-shaped soaps on my trips to the nearest town centre with friends. I’ve loved the scents and the ethos behind the company. 

In recent years, I now require high-quality products. It’s all about taking care of my skin and having a little self-care and indulgence in my life. As a busy mum, lack of sleep sometimes means bad skin, dark circles and all the other wonderful downsides of motherhood. A rescue plan to make me look and feel better is required.

The Body Shop

I was overjoyed when The Body Shop sent me a package full of their best sellers to review

Let’s dive in

Himalayan Charcoal Purifying Glow Mask 

I’ve been looking for a product to even my skin tone and I am so impressed with the results after using this scrub. It’s my go-to product now.  And I’ve already ordered more. As a busy mum, having an even skin tone and refreshed look means less maintenance. Given that I quickly rub concealer on my face, in the car before the nursery drop. Anything that avoids this extra task, I will pay good money for. 

Over the summer, it is nicer to have no make-up on your face. These days it just sweats off me anyway. This charcoal mask is a weekly treat I can use to enable me to have a fresh face for summer outings.

Almond Milk Body Butter

I must admit, I love the fruity body butter from The Body Shop. But they do tend to be a little thicker in consistency. This one is my new favourite. Simply because it’s so light on your skin and totally refreshing for summer. I can imagine taking it on holiday abroad with me and feeling extra moisturised after a day in the sun.

Hemp Hand Protector

We’ve all heard of this one. I would say it’s one of the most iconic Body Shop products. I’ve wanted to try it for a while and my hubby is in need of some because he works outside in all weather conditions.

The texture is lovely and it smells amazing. You can literally feel it immediately helping your skin. And I love that feeling.

Ginger Anti-dandruff Shampoo

This isn’t a product I would normally choose. I have dry, frizzy and unmanageable hair. However, the smell and the texture are so refreshing. And I actually really love using it now. It makes me feel cleaner than using my previous shampoo. Unlike other shampoos, you use a very tiny amount, which means it goes further than other products I’ve used in the past.

(AFF)

If you follow my blog, you will know I cannot resist a self-care treat from The Body Shop. Well, I have an extraordinary surprise to share with you today! Launching – 21 August 2022. TOMORROW!

Body Shop Advent Calendar

For those of you saying it’s too early to think about an advent calendar, it isn’t. I am secretly really excited about autumn, Halloween and the countdown to Christmas. I am also mindful that I need to spend money wisely this year, maybe make some savings where I can, and definitely start buying some gifts earlier than usual. Just this morning, my little one had a huge smile on her face when we told her Santa is busy sorting out presents. I asked her what she wanted and the magic in her eyes made me emotional.

What a deal

The product I have to recommend to you today, allows you to receive £159.00 worth of products for a price tag of £95.00. It’s a great way to stock up on your essentials, treat someone you love, or treat yourself. We all deserve it!

Making a saving of at least £34.50 is great in my book – because I am always looking at ways of cutting costs.

Advent Calendar

The Box Of Wonders Big Advent Calendar

You can even reuse the pop-ups as gift tags, and the drawers are great for storing crafts and other little bits and bobs, long after Christmas.

And remember, this Advent calendar doesn’t just bring you and the people you love, happiness, it also supports our global partners in Ghana with fair and regular income opportunities and access to healthcare and education projects.
