Way back when we were getting ready for the wedding, Jeff and I had discussed making a personlised wedding centrepiece using a Scrabble game set.

Review – L’Occitane Shea Butter Sampler Kit
During the summer I became self-conscious about the thick skin developing on my heels, and after a pedicure I was hoping the issue would be sorted.

Featured in the video, used right alongside some pretty high-end products, were two cheap … Continue reading
