The Various Types Of Micellar Cleansing Water:
My Review:
I am so enjoying using this product. My skin is very sensitive, especially my eyes when i wear makeup. So this product has just been amazing. It removes all my makeup off without burning my eyes, and i can feel it cleansing and cleaning my skin from the inside out. It basically feels like silky soft water over your skin that is so purifying you just can’t get enough
Day 2: Revitalising Tea
” Find balance and revitalise yourself with our detox tea. Drink a warm cup of revitalising tea in the morning to keep your body feeling cleansed and clean “
A tea to wake you and invigorate you. The aroma itself is incredible, but the real show begins when you add steaming hot water. From the spicy flash of cinnamon, ginger and cloves, the aromatic pop of cardamom and orange, to the flicker of spearmint and green tea. This is a tea to welcome your senses back to life.

Day 3: Dear Diary
” Spill your beauty secrets in a diary of confessions. At midday, take some time to clear your mind and come clean with your daily thoughts “
Some of my beauty secret confessions:
- I know the most important part of any beauty regime is to drink loads of water, but i don’t drink nearly enough
- I hate doing my hair, my go to hairstyle is a messy bun with some hairspray
- I never used to put sunscreen on my face, which is vital, so i decided to purchase a moisturizer that has a high SPF
- When i am super lazy, i use my fingers to apply my foundation. It’s a big no no!
Some of my beauty tips:
- Less is more, don’t be that girl that cakes her makeup on, when in fact she actually looks more beautiful with very little
- Quality over Quantity. Don’t be shy to spend on skin and beauty products, they last long and worth every cent
- If you want your lashes to grow fast, put some caster oil on them before bed every night
- Always brush your hair from the bottom up, when its wet, it prevents knotting
- Always use a primer before foundation, your makeup will last much longer
- Contouring is a great way to shape your face / bring out your cheek bones
- Try stick to colours that will make your eyes pop
Day 4: Water Water Water
“Purifying water bottle for motivation, hydration and feeling great. In the afternoon, go for a walk and sweat out any negative thoughts”
Bobble Purifying Water Bottle
Bobble is a fun, reusable bottle that filters water as you drink. when water passes through the ingenious carbon filter, chlorine is removed from ordinary tap water. It makes water taste better. Crisp and Clean. Bobble is a beautiful alternative to single-serve plastic water bottles, which harm the earth (and your wallet). Each replaceable bobble filter equates to 300 single-serve bottles. Drink up.
Top 10 Benefits of Drinking Water: Don’t Medicate, Hydrate!
1. Increases Energy & Relieves Fatigue – Since your brain is mostly water, drinking it helps you think, focus and concentrate better and be more alert. As an added bonus, your energy levels are also boosted!
2. Promotes Weight Loss – Removes by-products of fat, reduces eating intake (by filling up your tummy if consumed prior to meals), reduces hunger (hello natural appetite suppressant!), raises your metabolism and has zero calories!
3. Flushes Out Toxins – Gets rid of waste through sweat and urination which reduces the risk of kidney stones and UTI’s (urinary tract infections).
4. Improves Skin Complexion – Moisturizes your skin, keeps it fresh, soft, glowing and smooth. Gets rid of wrinkles. It’s the best anti-aging treatment around!
5. Maintains Regularity – Aids in digestion as water is essential to digest your food and prevents constipation.
6. Boosts Immune System – A water guzzler is less likely to get sick. And who wouldn’t rather feel healthy the majority of the time? Drinking plenty of water helps fight against flu, cancer and other ailments like heart attacks.
7. Natural Headache Remedy – Helps relieve and prevent headaches (migraines & back pains too!) which are commonly caused by dehydration.
8. Prevents Cramps & Sprains – Proper hydration helps keep joints lubricated and muscles more elastic so joint pain is less likely.
9. Puts You in a Good Mood – When the body is functioning at its best, you will feel great and be happy!
10. Save Money! – Water is FREE! Even if you choose bottled/filtered water, it’s STILL cheaper than that high sugar and fat-filled latte!

Day 5: Scented Candle
” A scented candle for the mind, body and soul. Your day may be stressful, but in the evening come clean with a long bath and a calming scented candle “
Yankee Candle : Summer Scoop
Delicious memories of creamy, homemade strawberry ice cream on a hot summer day. One scoop or two?
The traditional design of our signature classic jar candle reflects a warm, relaxed sense of style that’s always at home. Convenient and easy to use, our small jar candle provides 25 to 40 hours of true fragrance enjoyment.
Best Ways To Enjoy Your Candle:
Candles give you a great opportunity to just reflect on your day, or even forget about your day. I really enjoy burning a candle during a bath at night to switch my mind off . Or even whilst reading a book. Watch some of your favourite shows on tv. And even just burning a candle while you work to make you feel calm.
