Looking for an anti-stress fragrance? ⁣
⁣
A fragrance that pulls you from the chaos into a sense of calm. Which can drop your blood pressure and make your body feel less wound up. 💚💚⁣
⁣
Want to know more about it?⁣
⁣
First we need to talk about “forest bathing” — scientifically proven for reducing stress and bringing our mind and body into balance. 🌳🌿🌱🍃⁣
⁣
In fact, the Japanese are even known to medically prescribe shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing, which is about spending time in a forest. ⁣
⁣
There's no jogging, no hiking (and no bathing)... only immersing yourself in nature.⁣
⁣
Science establishes that this practise has very real benefits, including:⁣
— Stress reduction⁣
— Decreased inflammation⁣
— Drop in blood pressure⁣
— Increased positivity⁣
— Heightened immunity⁣
— Better sleep⁣
— Better skin⁣
⁣
Unfortunately though, this is becoming impossible in the chaos of city living.⁣
⁣
Which is why I have been LOVING The Nue Co’s Forest Lungs. Inspired by forest bathing, this is literally the next best thing to walking in a forest. 💚🌿🌿💚⁣
⁣
Green, woody, citrus and smoky, it mimics the effects of nature in more ways than one. ⁣
⁣
There is, of course, the fragrance itself — a blend of bergamot, vetiver, cedarwood and pine.⁣
⁣
But more important are the phytoncides: the organic compounds produced by trees, which when inhaled, are both physically and emotionally healing.⁣
⁣
You will find me spraying it liberally on high stress days or when I need some centering. In about 15 minutes, I feel myself sinking into a state of calm… a state of relaxation.⁣
⁣
It’s like walking deep into the woods, under a canopy of lush green trees, feet sinking into the leaves and moss and fallen flowers. 🍀☘️🌿🍃⁣
⁣
It helps me just breathe easier, be less on the edge, have more bandwidth to focus. ⁣
⁣
Drop a 💚 if you could use some stress relief as well right now!⁣

Are you a sexy red? Or a demure ballet pink? Or maybe a bold and daring black? Fact is that whether they’re glammed up with sparkly polish or left unadorned, nails can tell a lot about a person. ❤️💙💜💛🖤💚⁣
⁣
Try to remember for a moment, what’s your instant assessment when you see someone wearing black nail polish? Now do you see my point? And does it make you wonder exactly what secrets your own nails are spilling?⁣
⁣
Swipe to see the scoop from colour psychology experts, who explain how your choice of nail polish could be making that first impression for you. 😎😻⁣
⁣
So, what nail polish color do you typically wear? And don’t cheat and say clear! Personally, I am all about a burnished gold or a soft glitter. You?⁣

A flower a day keeps the gloomies away 🌸🌹🌻🌼⁣
⁣
Do you love fresh flowers as much as I do?? Which ones are your favourites??⁣

Close your eyes and imagine you are stretched out on a freshly made bed. A bed layered with clean, crisp linen sheets that have been drying in an idyllic, rural backyard all day. ⁠⁣
⁠⁣
There’s the lingering warmth of a languid summer day. ⁠☀️☀️☀️☀️⁣
⁠⁣
The cooling freshness of the sheer breeze blowing off dewy grass. ⁠🌾🌾⁣
⁠⁣
The embrace of wildflowers. ⁠🌻🌹🌸🌼⁣
⁠⁣
And the coziness of putting on clothes straight from the dryer after you step out of a long, languid bubble bath. ⁠🛁👚⁣
⁠⁣
That’s Clean Classic’s Soft Laundry eau de parfum: Clean, cool, comforting.⁠⁣
⁠⁣
With top notes of bergamot, pear and a marine accord that bring a burst of freshness the second you spritz on the fragrance. A middle of jasmine, waterlily and iris to bring home sun-drenched meadows. And a base of musk, amber and sandalwood to envelop you in a sense of well being.⁠ 🥰🥰⁣
⁠⁣
This is a perfume I can wear every day. Mornings, afternoons, evenings. ⁠⁣
⁠⁣
And while it’s not technically a nighttime, “going out” fragrance, I have had so many compliments whenever it’s remained on my skin for a party (because it has great longevity — so, if I have sprayed it on in the morning, there’s still a flicker late in the evening!). ⁠⁣
⁠⁣
It’s just so comforting and fresh and casual — light and perfect for layering.⁠⁣
⁠⁣
And, like all Clean’s fragrances, it’s made up of clean, sustainable ingredients. Even the corn-derived cellophane wrapper is biodegradable and compostable.⁠ 🌿🌱⁣
⁠⁣
In short: It’s pure love for me. The hug I need as the day begins. The freshness that cools down my afternoons. The trail of comfort that goes with me through the day.⁠⁣
⁠⁣
What’s YOUR favorite daytime scent?⁠⁣

Yes. And Yes. But you need to keep some things in mind for skin icing to be safe AND effective. (Plus, how gorgeous are these flower ice balls that are super-simple to make at home)? ⁣
⁣
Benefits of icing your face:⁣
⁣
🧊Reduces puffiness and inflammation⁣
🧊Helps minimize acne⁣
🧊Reduces redness⁣
🧊Makes pores look smaller⁣
🧊Tightens the skin⁣
🧊Soothes a sunburn⁣
🧊Reduces dark circles and puffiness under the eyes⁣
🧊Boosts blood circulation to gives you an instant glow⁣
🧊It’s super-refreshing!⁣
⁣
⁣
How to ice your face — safely and effectively:⁣
⁣
🔹If you have sensitive skin, don’t apply ice to it directly. Instead, wrap the ice cubes in a soft towel or muslin cloth.⁣
🔹Don’t hold the ice to one area of your face… keep moving it around constantly in small circular motions.⁣
🔹Don’t ice more than once a day.⁣
⁣
⁣
As for these gorgeous ice cubes you see here. Simply pop a few small flowers, leaves and herbs into your ice tray along with the water… they will freeze into utterly gorgeous pieces of art. 🌸🌼🌿🌱⁣
⁣
You can even use them for some super-cool looking beverages, if you can get your hands on some edible flowers.⁣
⁣
The easiest way to elevate your skincare and turn it into a self care experience, right? 💙💙💙💙⁣
⁣
Save this reel for your next skincare/self care moment.⁣

If, like me, you think of perfumes as one of life’s little joyful luxuries, Lancôme’s new Oui, La Vie est Belle is a fragrance that will tick all your boxes. ⁣
⁣
Oui, La Vie est Belle… Yes, Life is Beautiful. 💖💝⁣
⁣
So beautiful that it’s like a shower of dazzling fireworks… etched in gold on the iconic bottle. ✨✨✨✨⁣
⁣
So beautiful that it’s like the bottle which evokes the rounded imprint of a smile at the heart of a crystal square. ⁣
⁣
So beautiful that it’s dressed with the juiciness of raspberries, underlined with uplifting patchouli and overflowing with happy, gorgeous flowers like the powdery Iris, seductive jasmine, opulent Damascene rose and spicy ylang-ylang. 🌹🏵🏵🌹⁣
⁣
So beautiful that it makes me want to sparkle from the inside out. 🌟⭐️🌟✨⁣
⁣
Oui, La Vie est Belle. Yes, life is beautiful. And this perfume has become my reminder of that uplifting, reaffirming fact every single day. It inspires me to take pleasure in the little moments. It lifts my spirits when things get tough. It shines and sparkles when I slip into a silk dress for a night out with friends. And it radiates pure bliss when I don my oldest PJs and snuggle up with a good book for a night all to myself.⁣
⁣
Life is joyfully, utterly beautiful. So is this limited edition fragrance. I promise.⁣

Dearest readers,⁠⁣
⁠⁣
I know you miss Bridgerton and those long, sultry glances between the Viscount and Kate — aahhhh the glories of a secret, guilty, forbidden love — but fear not. Dame @patmcgrathreal is here to help you script your own story with the #PatMcGrathlabsxBridgerton collection, which is one the most gorgeous examples of Regency era meets modern makeup that I have seen in a long time!⁠⁣
⁠⁣
If you know Pat McGrath, you don't need me to tell you that the colors are super-saturated, the formulas are smooth and blendable, and everything layers on like a dream... building up from sheer and glow-y to full-on high wattage glam, as per your mood. 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻⁣
⁠⁣
And that packaging????? In the words of Lady Whistledown, who's the actual inspiration behind the collection, "An even rarer jewel."⁠⁣
⁠⁣
One look and you know you don't NEED it. But you know you still WANT it. Because it's all just heart stopping gorgeousness and makes one feel like a diamond⁠⁣ 💎💎⁣
⁠⁣
Yours truly, XOXO⁠⁣
⁠⁣
PS: Did you know that Kate Sharma was modelled on an actual Indian queen? Showrunner Chris Van Dusen reveals that her name was Baiza Bai and she ruled the princely Indian state of Gwalior in the 1830s after her husband's death. ⁠⁣
⁠⁣
And at a time when women lived behind the veil, she fought for personal and national freedom, waging war against the East India Company, which was the harbinger of colonial rule on the continent. Unlike women of the period, she was a superb horse rider, sitting astride like the men, a masterful swordswoman and adept at firearms. ⁠⁣
⁠⁣
One famous account recounts her leading troops the battle "with a lance in her hand, and her infant in her arms".⁠⁣
⁠⁣
From Baza Bai to Kathani Sharma... this just strengthens my contention that all things beautiful are built from that are full of wonder and hope and the unshackling of traditions 👸🏻👑👑👸🏻⁣
⁠⁣
Save this post — not just for your next Bridgerton fix — but when you need a reminder that we woman can be and do and achieve anything that we want⁠⁣ 💎💎💎💎⁣
