Some Like It Hot

The actress, model, singer and show girl, Marilyn Monroe was and will always be one of the most beautiful women the world has ever seen. With the release of 'My Week With Marilyn' we get to admire again, the sophistication and elegance of 50's glamour. Miss Monroe continues to inspire and influence popular culture, fashion and style as only a true starlet does.

Steam Cream is the perfect collision between art and beauty. The natural ingredients of oatmeal, orange flower water, cocoa butter, almond, lavender and organic jojoba oil are steam infused to create a hydrating cream that can be used on the face and body. I am particularly loving design 110, Ayame (below).

These gorgeous little pots make for a great travel product, perfect for keeping skin nourished as the weather gets colder. They are hand made in England and cost £10.50 each. Check out the design gallery here. 

The Simple Things

I was lucky enough to spend three months in Mozambique recently where I made friends with some little ladies, living in a children's home.

At the end of the my time there some friends and I threw a pamper party for the girls, we made chocolate treats out of cheap biscuits and cocoa. We listened to music and did mini manicures and pedicures on each one, using my one pink polish.

These little girls could not stop smiling and told us that we had made them feel like beautiful princesses. I love that something so simple can make us gals feel our most beautiful.
