I've found the PERFECT products for me

Ok, so I've been umming and ahhing about what moisturiser to buy for a while now ... and have been avoiding going in to John Lewis to pick up the front-runner, Dr Hauschka's Rose Day Cream, just because I knew I had to check out the Burts Bees Carrot Day Cream as well ... and was worried about disappointment. I quite like the Rose Day Cream, but it goes on a bit greasy, and the tube is so hard to use. But it IS a good cream, and safe for Lambykins too. 

So I went in to John Lewis, tried the Carrot cream and it almost made me gag, really, the smell, and its very oily, so sorry Burts Bees - not that cream! So I gravitated over to Philosophy and dabbed on some Hope in a Jar, and honestly, sadly, those days are now gone for me ... I don't think I can use it again. It's just not natural and happy-making enough - I am used to lovely essential oils now. 

A John Lewis Lady came up to me and offered some help, so I told her my problem, my moisturiser needs to be really, nice, smell and feel great, make me feel great, really soak into my skin and keep me moisturised, and it has to be organic and natural because of the baby - I need to be happy with the baby sucking it off my face if that's what the baby happens to be doing to my face!!! She understood perfectly and took me over to the Stella McCartney counter (who knew??? where have I been, under a rock?) and I had a good session playing with the Care range with the Stella McCartney lady, Sian (lovely girl, but scary eyebrows, not a very natural look). 

Ok, I LOVE this range L O V E it, almost enough to not get furniture and just buy the stuff instead .....!!! The smell is just right, feels good, skin looks nice. Oh I want this stuff. 

The moisturiser, though - wait for it - is £46, making it the most expensive moisturiser I have ever considered buying. You don't just use it by itself of course, there is a serum, an 'elixir' (choice of 3) that you buy to put under it - mine would be the calming/soothing one, oooh so nice. Then before that there is a range of cleansers - the one I love is the foaming one, I love foaming cleansers and this one I can wash off or tissue/cotton wool off, so it's great - £21, and the toner is a spray mist that feels nice, and it's another £21. 

If you buy the whole lot, it's £131 and you get a flannel and a plastic rectangular block with holes in to keep your products standing in .... gimmick. Now where am I going to get £130??? 

Oh My God. I finally find it, and it's out of reach. 

Life is so unfair.

Yoga class was brilliant though!! I loved it, and had a real workout. Definitely carrying on with the class in Cambridge, no matter what.
