The Perfect Valentine's Day

I'm a huge romantic and love everything to do with Valentine's day as it's a chance to feel special and make your other half feel special! (And even if you're single it's a great chance to eat chocolate.

Here is my wish list / gift ideas to make the perfect Valentine's day.

Hotel Chocolat 'Open Your Heart to Me'

RRP £26.00

What better than a heart shaped box of chocolates, made of actual chocolate! And non other than Hotel Chocolat which melts in your mouth with its silky texture.  I think both boys & girls would be ecstatic to open this

18 ct Rose Gold Tiny Heart Bracelet by Dower & Hall  

RRP £75.00

I'm in love with really delicate rose gold jewellery, as it compliments so many outfits.  This bracelet by Dower & Hall would make the perfect Valentine's gift; it's affordable and a beautiful token of love which can be worn every day.

Entertainment: Wolf Of Wall Street

RRP £7-12

If you're not into the whole romantic dinner thing hten why not go to the flicks.  I'm absolutely dying to see this - and I think its a film that  both 'him & her' would enjoy.  It's not too chick-flicky (but it DOES have Leo) and I think the guys would like the story line too.  

Pretty Victoria's Secret Underwear

RRP £7.00- £30.00

I love the quality of Victoria's Secret.....it's beautiful for both every day and special occasions (Valentine's Day) so why not treat yourself both to a pretty in pink set of VS SS14 undies!  We can kid ourselves that we look like the angels below right!?

Romantic Getaway Essentials - Femfresh

Are you going for a Romantic weekend away to a London hotel or even Paris?  Make sure you're as fresh as can be whilst your on the go with some of these life-saving Femfresh products.

  I'm packing these handy pocket wipes (£1.59) for in your handbag (and who knows what the french public toilets are like!?)  I love these for on the go for that feeling of freshness.

  This cleansing and soothing triple action wash (much more delicate for your intimate areas than the harsh 2in1 cheap shower gel the hotel provides (£3.49).  And lastly this feminine freshness deodorant (£2.49)... lets just say to keep you fresh & confident on the go!

Valentine's Smooth Legs - the best of Nair

Hello Ladies, 

Valentine's is upon us so it's probably the time to make some special effort and have silky smooth legs!  Given my shopping habit, it usually means I don't have too much money left over for things like going to the beautician's.  Instead, I tend to do these sorts of treatments at home as its a great way of saving money as well as getting great results.

There's two at home treatments that I've been swearing by recently: Nair's Brazilian Spa Clay which is a cream that dissolves all the hair (with ZERO pain) and Nair Easy Wax Microwave. I've written a little compare and contrast so if you're thinking of trying at home hair removal you can see which one is right for you. 

Nair Brazillian Spa Clay shower power cream £6.99

This is fantastic for beginners as you need no skill at all, and it removals all the hair in a matter of minutes with zero pain.

EASY PAIN-FREE APPLICATION - All you need to do is squeeze the clay onto your legs and smooth it on with the spatula provided.  After 5-10 minutes hop into the shower and scrape it of with the spatula.  It doesn't hurt at all and provides fantastic even results.

I would absolute recommend this to anybody and DEFINITELY beginners.

Pro: The results last longer than shaving, pain free, easy, fast, cheap, time saver - done at home before hopping in the shower

Cons: Doesn't as long as waxing, clay gets all over shower

Nair Easy Wax Microwave £10.99

Ok, so obviously this is going to hurt more than the Nair Brazilian clay which is pain free.  However, if you can tolerate the pain of getting waxed at a beauticians you can tolerate this! (TIP you have to be decisive, count to three and just do it.

The pros:

Lasts over two weeks
Salon quality wax for a fraction of the price (can do full leg and bikini for £10.99)
Easy application - No need for wax strips - just heat in the microwave and smooth on and pull off
Time saver - can be done at home whenever
Washes off as soluble preventing messy clean ups

The Con's

Element of pain!  But no more than at a salon

Overall

Either of these are a great way of getting silky smooth legs, when you want without being dictated by having an appointment time.  They both are much more cost effective than going to a salon and both achieve great results.

If you want longer lasting hair removal and don't mind the pain - go for Nair Easy Wax Microwave
If you want a painfree solution that lasts longer than shaving (though less than waxing) I would recommend Nairs Brazilian Clay.

Oh and as an additional note - they do a cheeky Nair cream glide-on specifically designed for the underarms and bikini - how cute is this!? (Only £4.92 at boots!)

Nair Easy Wax Microwave RRP £10.99 available here  or from Boots, Superdrug or Asda Nationwide.

Nair Brazillian Clay shower power Cream RRP £6.99 available here  or from Boots, Superdrug or Asda Nationwide.
