The little white bottle

So yesterday I got my hands on on this St. Moriz instant self tan mousse and I have to say it's amazing! Like I've said before I'm very pale and use self tan a lot while trying not to look like an Umpa Lump. Of course we all hate to look orange, streaky or end up having brown sheets and I must confess this is the answer.

This is the first mousse tan I've ever used and I can't believe I've never used it before as it's so easy and simple to apply. This tan doesn't have a funny smell and is perfect for this time of year when we feel horribly pale but still want a subtle healthy glow.
I chose to use Medium and it was the best tone for me. I Would really recommend this Self tanning mousse. Such a great buy.

Fake tan top tips:

PREPARATION is key. Make sure you try to moisturise everyday and before tanning get exfoliating to get rid of any dead skin.

Maybe slightly obvious but make sure to use GLOVES. There is nothing worse than having dirty tanned nails so you've taken your gloves off apply a small amount of tan to a cotton pad and tan the back of your hands.

Dab VASELINE on your hair line and eyebrows so you don't end up with ginger tan dyed hair.


Thanks for reading my darlings,

Tranquillity

I am absolutely obsessed with this sexy SOTO Aroma Diffuser and essential oils. The colour changing mood light beautiful, almost hypnotic and  perfect for relaxing at the end of a long day. Sleek, stylish and soothing.
How to use: Simply pour some water into the little bowl adding whatever oil you desire, switch it on and watch your stress melt away.
Like I mentioned in my first post, I suffer with pretty serve anxiety and panic attacks. For anyone that doesn't know too much about that...A panic attack is a rush of intense psychological and physical symptoms. These symptoms can be anything from feeling sick to passing out and can sometimes happen for no reason. I won't bore you too much with them details though at the moment ;) 
Anxiety, stress and depression really take a tole on how my body functions and calming myself down but when I feel like things are getting a bit too much I switch my defuser on and try and drift away with the steam. 
Helping me in my quest to beat anxiety has been the amazing Miaroma essential oils and my favourites are pictured above. Rose, Lavender, Bergamot and Jasmine. After researching essential oils best for anxiety I found that these came top and I would be the first to recommended that. Rose and Jasmine I find very subtle and extremely relaxing but when I'm faced with panic I really like to switch to Bergamot, the fruity uplifting tones really help me focus and relax.

I would really recommend the defuser and oils to anyone as we all want to get in bed a drift away into a beautiful sleep but even if you don't want to purchase the oils you can just put water in the defuser and it helps to clean the air.
