Winter Essentials

While we are all distracted by Christmas we tend to forget about the down come after all the excitement and by the time it reaches that point we all get depressed and most of the time, ill. I think they call this JANUARY BLUES. However January doesn't have to be blue, there are ways we can pick ourselves up through those bleak months.

I've put together a few essentials which I've found useful for these colder months. First off, Kiko's energy mask personally recommended by a member of staff from the Birmingham store. Before moving to Nottingham I'd never heard of Kiko and I must of been hiding under a rock or something because this is one of the best brands I've discovered so far. The products are cheap as chips but still have an amazing quality to them and often have products on offer (not that you need a sale to afford them!) The energy mask is a detoxifying black mask which you leave to set on a dry face for 10 minutes then wash off with warm water. Kiko sell a range of masks but this particular product helps cleanse the skin from pollution and impurities which is definitely something most of us will need after all the food we've inhaled this month!

A cosy tee. Strangely I've been looking for a top like this for a while but after not being able to find one for so long I think I just gave up. Then when shopping the other week, I went into Zara and saw it for only 5.99!! Generally Zara can be quite expensive but if you have a proper mooch around you can pick up from bargains, especially from their basics! This has to be one of the softest tees I've owned and I just thought it would be perfect for a cosy winter lazy day. To add to that lazy day, whats better than warm knitted socks?! Primark is always hit and miss but I discovered these boot socks along side the ankle socks. They are the ideal socks for lounging in, not too suffocating and keep your feet at a perfect temperature.

I hope these items are able to give you some sort of joy in the new year.
Merry Christmas!
