Yardley London has been around for over 250 years now, and their products are truly some of my faourite (English Rose EDT will be on my repurchase list for eternity). In Canada you can pick up their products in the scents English Lavender, English Rose and Lily of the Valley. I was recently sent some items inspired by spring gardens to try out, their Moisturizing Body Lotion and Luxury Body Wash in the scents English Lavender and English Rose. 

Both scents are incredibly realistic, they smell exactly like their names. The English rose is fresh and vibrant and smells just like real roses. There is a hint of magnolia and cassis in there too. While the English Lavender smells warm and calming just like the real stuff. It has hints of geranium and chamomile in it too which add to that relaxing lavender scent feeling.

Yardley's body washes are clear, lather extremely well, rinse easily and leave no residue on the skin. Pretty much all my checkmarks for a great spring-summer body wash. Although they are clear they do not strip the skin of moisture which is fantastic. They also smell as good as their Eau De Toilette counterparts. Sometimes I am known to squirt a bit into my running bath water and use it as a bubble bath and I will say it dose a great job making bubbles.

The nice people over at Keri sent me package of their new Clinical Care line to try out. Keri is a brand with some personal attachment to me, not only did I grow up using their oil baths, but it was the only brand of skin care my Grandmother ever used. 

Their new Clinical Care line consists of 3 new products all meant to help keep skin moisture barrier, even on the most dry skin. All products are paraben-free, dye-free and contain no added fragrances, all of which I like because when my skin is dry (and boy does it ever get dry) it gets real sensitive to things like fragrances.

Finding the perfect Mother's Day gift isn't always easy, but with Yardley London it can be. Yardley London makes some fantastic bath and body products in some pretty amazing scents, but I know my mom would love their English Rose line, and that is why I am treating her to it this Mother's Day.

When I was a child I remember my mom having a vial of rose perfume and when I asked what it was for she dabbed a little bit behind my ears and said 'so boys will fall in love with you'. I never forgot that or that wonderful scent of rose. Yardley London captures that prefect scent of floral, light and sweet roses in this collection and it is just wonderful for spring and summer.

Moisturizing Body Wash
This clear and light wash foams up nice and rich while smelling like real roses. It also won't dry out your skin, which is always a plus.

Moisturizing Body Lotion
This lotion is light and not too heavy, but still moisturizing, plus it has a pump (always a plus). Layering this on after using the body wash is a great way to make the scent of roses last longer.

Fragranced Body Mist
I love Yardley's body mists, a lot really (read a review here), but the rose one has become my favourite these last few month. I can spritz it on in the morning and not feel it is too heavy and overwhelm others on my morning commute but still smell during the day. It is that light and not to heavy kind of scent that I love for the warmer weather.

Perfumed Talc
Talc is that little bit extra that I think a lot of mothers would really like. It isn't a thing that younger people tend to use too much but it is very luxurious and adds another layer of scent to you routine making it last longer. I always have enjoyed talc before bed because of how it made my skin felt and the scent it enrobes me with. There are also some other great uses for scented talc powder, like keeping in your drawers to scent your clothes or for vacuuming (I sprinkle some baking soda and some scented talc and my carpet comes out much cleaner).

Eau De Toilette
This is my favourite item in the whole collection, Eau De Toilette. It smells fantastic and looks amazing in the bottle. The scent lasts all day and it works perfectly with the other items.
Every product in this scent collection is wonderful on its own, but when they are layered together they work even better and the scent lasts even longer. I love how the English Rose scent makes me feel, it is light, summery, romantic and never overwhelming all in one.

I hope you all have a wonderful Mother's Day, I am not worried about my mother's gift this year because I know she will love it thanks to Yardley London.
*Products were sent to me for review from PR. All views and opinions are my own, and yes I am giving this to my mom this year.

I have talked a few times before about my Keratosis Pilaris, it is bumps on my skin that feel awful and are very unsightly (but don't hurt or anything). Pretty much my skin lacks the ability to naturally shed dead skin (woo, fun 😕). Since I am always on the hunt for something new to treat it and help me have smooth skin without any real fuss I bring you my review of Paula's Choice Resist Weightless Body Treatment with 2% BHA and 10% AHA.

Last week I got the chance to check out my local The Body Shop location and learn all about their Holiday offerings. I was of course super excited because I adore the Body Shop and had already placed both Black Friday and Cyber Monday orders but had not gone to a store yet to see stuff in person. As a result I am showing you three gift sets from this year that I absolutely fell in love with.
Vanilla Chai Tin Of Delights
Seasonal scents are something I have always loved from The Body Shop, for years their cranberry or gingerbread scents were my thing. This year they have Vanilla Chai, Frosted Plum, and Frosted Berries. All smelled amazing, but the Vanilla Chai really spoke to me, more complex and warm then a straight up vanilla scent it was kind of a nice warm winter night in a fragrance for me.
I chose to the the Tin of Delights set because it makes such a nice gift. Full sized products and a gorgeous tin, what isn't to like about getting this baby on Christmas day? You get a full size of the Shower Gel, Body Butter, Hand Cream and Bath Foam. To be 100% honest the Bath Foam is what sold me on this set. The Body Shop only makes their Bath Foam in their seasonal scents, and every year I get at least 3 to last me through the year, and this set had one...so it was coming home with me no matter what!
Since this set came with a full sized body butter, I was able to make a custom label for it. I of course chose the cheeky "You're on the naughty list" with my name on it. I think it is a really cute addition to any gift, and it really only took 30 seconds to print.

The set contains all full sized products:

• Shower Gel Vanilla Chai 250ml
• Body Butter Vanilla Chai 200ml
• Bath Foam Vanilla Chai 300ml
• Hand Cream Vanilla Chai 30ml

At-Home Facial Mask Experience
The Body Shop has quite the collection of facial products that are quite impressive. This year they have some pretty nice face sets, but their At-Home Facial Mask Experience stood out the most to me. With five best selling full size masks, this elegant tube is quite the big deal. That is right, there are 5 masks in here. You could break it up and give one to all your family or you could just give it as one big gift. Since multi masking is so big right now it makes that a breeze too.
The set contains all full sized masks:

• British Rose Fresh Plumping Mask 75ml
• Himalayan Charcoal Purifying Glow Mask 75ml
• Chinese Ginseng & Rice Clarifying Polishing Mask 75ml
• Amazonian Acai Energising Radiance Mask 75ml
• Japanese Matcha Tea Pollution Clearing Mask 75ml

Spread The Love Hand Cream Collection
I love gifts that you can break apart and give to multiple people This hand cream set is perfect for one person who loves hand cream or for up to six people. Think of all the people you can make happy at your office with this set.

The set contains six hand lotions:

• Hand Cream Pink Grapefruit 30ml
• Hand Cream Strawberry 30ml
• Hand Cream Moringa 30ml
• Hand Cream Shea 30ml
• Hand Cream Mango 30ml
• Hand Cream British Rose 30ml

Are you the type that likes to get a head start on the holidays? Well Mary Kay is thinking a head with their latest promo Christmas in October, and to be honest I think they have the right idea. Every year Christmas comes along and I have no time to do anything, so getting stuff done and bought now is the best plan of attack for me.
White Tea & Citrus Satin Hands Pampering Set & Fragrance-Free Satin Hands Pampering Set ($51.00 each set)
The Satin Hands Pampering Sets are a cult classic when it comes to Mary Kay. I remember my mom treating my hands to it when I was ten years old and I have loved it ever since. My hands are the dries and most chap things on earth come the holiday season, they usually end up bleeding. The area right between my fingers gets flakey and thick. Since this all happens and there seems to be nothing I can do to prevent it, I love the Satin Hands sets to help clear it up and keep my hands smooth.
The White Tea & Citrus Set comes with:

• Fragrance-Free Protecting Softener 
• Moisturize and protect skin, preparing hands for a stimulating.
• White Tea & Citrus Refining Shea Scrub 
• Blended with luscious shea butter to instantly reveal noticeably smoother-looking skin as it buffs away dirt and impurities and leaves hands feeling softer.
• White Tea & Citrus Nourishing Shea Cream 
• Shea butter-infused cream instantly melts into skin and leaves hands feeling soft and noticeably smoother even after washing. 
• Absorbs quickly, so hands won’t feel sticky, and it leaves a protective barrier on skin for long-lasting softness.
