soap & glory hand food hand cream

SOAP & GLORY hand food hydrating hand cream £5

I don't know why, but recently my hands have been so dry! They're not noticeably dry but they just feel so horrible. Seeing as my university course is so hands on I decided that I really should start to look after them a little bit more! I've mentioned before the reason I struggle to keep up a moisturising routine is because my biggest peeve is waiting around for cream to aborb into my skin. Yet again Soap & Glory have created a formula which sinks in fast + leaves skin feeling silky smooth without being greasy, yay!

This is one of Soap & Glory's cult super products which everyone seems to love, and with good reason! As well as having cute packaging, it actually works. It does have a fairly strong, sweet Soap-&-Glory-scent to it which may not be the best if you have sensitive skin but I have no trouble with my hands + like the smell so that doesn't bother me. This larger tube lives on my bedside table + I usually apply before bed, after doing my nails or whenever my hands need a pick me up! I'm going to treat myself to the travel sized tube (along with the hand maid anti-bac' gel) this weekend to keep in my handbag as although it does a great job of hydrating my skin it sadly doesn't last all day. However for a fiver, it really is a great hand cream!

#001; what is your favourite valentine's day treat? Red roses + a heartfelt, written card, perfect.

#002; sweethearts or chocolate covered strawberries? Hmm, strawberries in a glass of champagne?ha.

 

#003; what is your favourite valentine's day memory? Primary school days of handing out handmade cards in the playground is a pretty funny memory.

#004; favourite romantic film to watch on valentine's day? Ooh such a hard choice, I'm a sucker for a chick flick! Maybe 'The Notebook' or 'When Harry Met Sally'.

 

#005; who would be your dream celebrity valentine's date? Ryan Gosling, everytime!

 

#006; what would you do on your perfect valentine's date? My boyfriend + I had a gorgeous 3 course meal on the beach in Mexico for my 21st last year, easily the most romantic thing ever! And to top it off when we got back to our hotel room, it was decorated with heart shaped balloon's, the jacuzzi was filled with bubbles and petals + there was a nice chilled bottle of champers waiting for us, I know it wasn't Valentine's Day but I don't think you could top that for a dream date!

 

#007; red or pink lips? Bright pink lips for the day + red for the night.

 

#008; what is your ideal valentine's day date outfit? Totally depends on the circumstances but you can never go wrong with a cute dress + a swipe of lippy!

 

#009; homemade or store-bought gifts? A mixture of both! Nothing OTT though, I really don't understand the whole buying gifts for the sake of it, it's all about the roses + sweets!

 

#010; perfect valentine's day perfume? Lady Million or Victor and Rolf Flowerbomb!

RIVER ISLAND grey burnout cut-out shoulder skater dress £25; ZARA black stones necklace £15.99; ASOS marc by marc jacobs silver watch £125; JOHN LEWIS liz earle deep cleansing mask starter kit £14.

I spotted this cut-out dress whilst in work the other day. I think it's perfect to throw on with some tights, ankle boots + a statement necklace for uni days! I probably have enough silver collars but there's something about this Zara one that I love! Since my boyfriend bought me my gold Michael Kors for Christmas it hasn't left my wrist! I've been bitten by the designer watch bug and now am lusting after one in silver + rose gold! My skin isn't my best feature at the moment so hoping to treat myself to some Liz Earle goodies when in Birmingham this weekend. I tried and loved the Cleanse + Polish so hoping to branch out and maybe pick up a mask; has anyone tried this one or can recommend any? My skin would be very grateful!
