Right now I’m loving so many things but the weather’s definitely not one of them!

Australian Bush Flower Essences Replenishing Night Cream might be a right old mouthful to say but it’s worth saying it and it’s well worth buying it. It packs a powerful punch of moisture into your skin overnight but it doesn’t make your skin feel all greasy and congested. It’s my new fave night cream at the moment.

And the hand cream I’m using at the moment is Barefoot Botanicals Rosa Fina Anti-Ageing Hand Cream . It smells lovely and is a really nice creamy texture. You need to rub it in for quite a while but I tend to use that time to push back my cuticles anyway and massage the cream into my nails to nourish them. I’m not sure if it’s the Best Hand Cream I’ve evr used like my fave Akin Hand Cream but it comes a pretty close second.

I’m reading and enjoying The Midwife of Venice by Roberta Rich right now. It’s an easy read – a beach book I suppose – although I haven’t been on a beach reading it, just stuck here at home in a very wet Cardiff. It’s been interesting reading about labour and birth in the 1500s The whole thing was perceived so differently then. The midwife of the title even has to hide her ‘birthing spoons’ (a kind of forceps which she has made) because they could be seen as the tools of witchcraft! Only a couple of chapters left now……
