Ah, things are really starting to feel Christmassy now. The drop in
temperature and plenty of crisp sunny days has helped to boost my Christmas
feeling - that and seeing plenty of Londoners in Christmas jumpers when in the
pub!
This cold weather has also left me wanting to purchase some skin treats -
that and a stupid Dermatologist prescribing me Retinol cream when she shouldn't
have, I must take my hat off to women who voluntarily pay for a chemical peel.
Stupid and so not worth it- my Retinol supplies have since made their way
quickly to the bin.
But there is a knight -ess in shining armour within the affordable skin
product world: Liz Earle. I am sighing in adoration for this brand as I type
this. Liz Earle uses naturally active ingredients to give your face a big
metaphorical hug- whatever your skin type. After the Retinol incident- I looked
like a burn victim and so needed emergency rehydration/soothing STAT (always
wanted to find a way to use that word in a sentence, ER anyone?) and a Bag of
magic was soon in my grasp..
So, this year I am determined to find and buy as many christmas presents as possible without setting foot on trusty old Oxford Street. Don't get me wrong- OS and Regent street are fabulous and i feel very lucky to be there in 20 minutes via a bus but I don't think i can be bothered with the crowds this year, also The Boy simply would not come with me if I even suggested the West end and I need someone to hold my bags ;) .
So, if you are visiting London or a Dweller such as myself, then here are a few spots I have been browsing (yes i did say browsing when talking about Christmas Shopping):
I thought I would rest my tired feet by blogging about my visit today to Taste of Christmas 2012 at the Excel Centre, London. I had a lovely time last year, and when i saw 'lastminute.com' was doing a ticket offer for this years- i snapped a pair of tickets up.
