Beauty News - Wild for Bees, Burt's Bees collaboration with Richard Weston

Here is my second piece of beauty news that I promised you this week.

 The new collaboration between Burt's Bees and Richard Weston - Wild for Bees, Milk and Honey Body Lotion and limited edition scarf. The brilliant beauty brand and amazing designer have joined forces to help raise awareness and money for the plight of the honey bee in the UK, and the work done by the British Beekeepers Association and the Adopt a Beehive Project.

 The limited edition scarf and lotion set is only available online for £170 with 100% of the scarf sale price going to the British Beekeepers Association Adopt a Beehive Project

The body lotion is made using some of the best skin-softening ingredients. Milk nourishes while honey helps to keep the skin soft, plus coconut, grape seed oil and vitamin E delivers beneficial nutrients to the skin. The lotion is available for £9.99 from the online store, Debenhams and selected retailers. 

Now I was lucky enough to receive a full size sample of this amazing cream and I have to say it smells amazing! Very subtle scent wise, exactly as you would expect it smells of milk! It is lovely and creamy, and like their other body lotions a little goes a long way!

So ladies will you be purchasing the new Wild for Bees collaboration line? Ok so the scarf is kinda pricy but I think if I had the money I would definitely buy it. As I don't sadly I would buy the lotion (if I didnt already have it!)

I adore Weston's designs and have been lusting after them since I saw him on the Liberty's buyers programme years ago. They are so unique and beautiful.

Ecards from Ojolie.com

I'm pretty sure I'm no different to anyone else and once in a while I forget a birthday or occasion. Now as much as I love snail mail (and you know I love snail mail!) sometimes you just leave it too late, especially when you need to post it to another country or even another continent! Thats when I turn to the internet and the wonderful world of e-cards! 

I recently found Ojolio.com and they have some great animated ecards for all occasions. Whether your after birthday ecards, anniversary e-cards, get well e-cards, congratulations e-cards or any other special occasion they have them all.

I recently received one from a friend in Canada for my birthday last week and was so please! They are great animations, very cute and sweet. and it sung happy birthday to me - what more could I want!

Plus they have so many different cards to chose from and they are always adding new designs. You can get anything from a musical penguin, origami swans, flocks of butterflies and cute puppies to frolicking cats, dancing mice and fun classic automobiles.

So have any of you forgot an occasion recently? If you have you better get over to Ojolie.com and order yourself a card.

Has anyone used Ojolie or e-cards before?

Menswear - ShirtsMyWay.com

I usually don't do a lot of men's wear posts, but every now and then Jon actually needs new clothes so I have to venture in to the menswear territory! As he is the Assistant Manager now he needs to look smart and professional all the time, so he needs some nice new shirts. Thats when I was introduced to ShirtsMyWay.com. As you would expect they make shirts, totally customisable smart tailored shirts.

You can literally build your shirt to your exact specification, altering the colour of each part of the shirt, the buttons, button holes, style, cut, collar, pockets, cuffs - everything! Its like designing your own clothing. Then you just confirm and pay and they ship it right to you. It is brilliant! I think it would be especially good for a wedding if you wanted a specific colour combination shirt.

Now they aren't cheap, starting at around $75 (but you get free standard shipping to most countries) but they are great quality, and getting another custom made costs. They are well worth the money. So why not nip across to www.shirtsmyway.com and buy yourself (I know I have a few male readers) or for your hubby/dad/brother/etc.
