kevin murphy angel wash and rinse

I fell in love with kevin murphy angel wash and rinse years ago and still have a loving relationship with this product, I know it loves me too because of the results!

I feel like a fairy when I use this, I smell like candy floss and my hair is shiny and well hydrated.

Formulated for dry and fine coloured hair, but I think it would work well on most hair types.

I had been using angel was for months before I read the ingredients on the back and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was one of the most natural products i owned.
Formulated with Mango Butter, Cocoa Butter and Chamomile to moisturise and nurture your fine hair. Aloe, milk proteins and olive esters protect hair from further damage with it's repairing action and low foaming formula. sulphate and Paraben Free

Try it and you wont be disappointed!

LOVING - Blogilates

If you are a 'busy-modern-day-young-professional-woman' like myself (ha) - you may not have a lot of time for work outs (especially now that it is dark by 5pm!).

I hate the gym - the two of us tried so hard at the 'gym buddy' thing - but it just didn't work. I don't want to run in the same place - watch guys stare at themselves in the mirror whilst they flex; nor do I want to touch machines that people have sweated all over (gross!).

I really loved pilates class though - but it was always such a challenge to get out of the office to make it in time.

But I have found something that works for me - blogilates - and I LOVE it! The site is run by California-based pilates and fitness instructor (and mega babe) Cassey Ho - who obviously noticed a missing niche in the fitness industry - and has filled it amazingly with her free YouTube videos.

Cassey is chatty - plans her work outs to all your latest fave songs (call me maybe?) and it honestly doesn't feel like you're working out!

I am really enjoying the little classes -and being able to mix it up so much (she loads new vids all the time!).

In the words of Snoop - soon I'll be toned, tanned, fit and ready... ready for what? LIFE!

Sweet treat: Delish Cupcakes

I stumbled upon Delish Cupcakes one lunch break.

And what a find it was!

Director and cupcake chef Kathryn, is a lovely and bubbly cupcake queen. Her cupcakes are absolutely beautiful and I dare say I have eaten a lot over the years...

Her cakes are light and fluffy and the icing is whipped and creamy - that in my books is all part of the perfect cupcake!

There are may flavours, my favorites being red velvet, jaffa and lime curd!

Chanel Soleil Tan de Chanel Moisturizing Bronzing Power



Part of the sun series with the iconic gold Chanel logo on the package.

This bronzer is a moisturizing, illuminating powder, so perfect for just coming into winter!
Being fair skinned I have had my fair share of bad bronzer moments, some being too brown or too orange.

Chanel Soleil Tan de Chanel Moisturizing Bronzing Power has a beautiful warm shade and lets your inner radiance shine on through!

Although a bit of a splurge, you will find it well worth the extra couple of dollars.

Working girls guide to a speedy recovery

It's that time of year again where we get every darn bug that goes around the office!

I have now nearly perfected my sickness regime to a speedy recovery.

Clinicians Hi-Dose Vitamin C
This is used at the smallest tickle of the throat or if I notice anyone around me constantly blowing their nose! This is a miracle powder, and can banish the first signs of a cold.

Green Tea
Guzzle, guzzle, guzzle. Antioxidants and fluids.

Barley Grass Powder Smoothies
Potent dose of greens to help cleanse and alkalize your body easiest to take in a super smoothie.
I add a heaped teaspoon to a banana, blueberries, a teaspoon of Flaxseed and Linseed powder and one of Manuka honey. I like to use a fruit juice as a base instead of milk or yoghurt, as they can block you up.

Early Nights.

Beauty sleep and recovery.

Get well soon chickas!

Sebastian Professional Hydre

Sebastian Professional Hydre Is a fabulous product for those who need a little extra hair hydration in the tub.

Both of us being blonde, sometimes it can be a struggle to keep our locks shiny and manageable!
Hydre definitely helps with deep conditioning and locking in that all important moisture.

We love the thick formula that leaves our hair silky and smelling like we just came out of the salon!

Nothing beats that professionally treated feeling and now we can enjoy it every week in between visits to the salon.

Nature Girl

I was gifted these gorgeous products and have fallen in love with them!

I tried the Ocean Potion Tangerine salt scrub, which smells better than I can describe! It polishes away dull dry skin to leave a beautifully buffed bod.
the more you use it, the better the results!

After raving about how much I adored the salt scrub I then got given the Nature Love Sandalwood and Jasmine body butter! It is so rich and luxurious with all of mother natures favourite ingredients.

I love these all natural products with beautiful organic and botanical ingredients, I feel like feeding my skin with vitamins.

I can't wait to try more.

Trilogy Rosehip Oil

Rosehip Oil is one of the signature products produced by all natural skincare brand Trilogy; and here at beaute camp, we are big fans!

My Mum is a bit of a hippy when it comes to products - (refering to my make-up bag as my 'chemicals'), so I am proud to have such a gorgeously natural product as part of my skincare regime.

This honey-coloured oil is sourced from rosehip seeds - the reddish round mini-tamarillo looking things that are left over after a rose is past its prime. Native Chilean people have been reaping the benefits of this oil for centuries - loving it for its healing and anti-aging properties.

It is the perfect addition to any skincare regime - I use every night to regenerate my complexion, but it has been proven to be your best friend with scars and deep wrinkles too. It's a goodie.
