Treatment
Reflexology. I have it frequently with Paolo Lai at Neville’s Salon. I’m also training in it, so it has to be my favourite treatment of the year! Find a reflexologist close to you that is registered with the Association of Reflexologists HERE.
My No 1 Standout Skincare Product of the Year –
SkinCeuticals Blemish and Age Defense £75.00
I was prescribed this product after a facial with skincare expert Debbie Thomas. The results have genuinely taken me aback. For anyone who suffers with blocked pores, adult acne, any breakouts, or early signs of ageing – try this.
My No1 Standout Makeup Product of the Year –
Brow Genius by Anastasia £20.00
This is the best product that I’ve ever found for my eyebrows. I’ve used Anastasia’s products for years, and am delighted that they are finally stocked in the UK. Mix a small amount of gel with a few drops of the powder. I fill in gaps and extend the outer ends. Obsessed.
Wishing you all a very happy new year! Please me know which products were your standout products of 2013, and maybe they will also be my favourites by this time next year.

My Paypal is burning right now with all my new purchases. It’s all your fault, you know it, but also a good way to start a year.
Happy new year! xxx
I just had a baby 10 days ago and through my pregnancy my skin got very dehydrated but thanks to clarins hydra quench serum and moisturiser it felt a lot better and continues to do so. Will continue using it.
