How to bring a little luxury into your life

Now that we’re in the heart of winter, you should do all you can to pamper yourself with a few luxuries in order to stave off the winter blues!
It can be a bit of a minefield out there trying to find quality items at a reasonable price, so I’ve compiled a little list of what I think are the essentials for staying warm and feeling great this season.
LUXURY COSMETICS

Every girl’s best friend has to be her cosmetics right? I find that there’s nothing better than some new makeup to give you that extra bit of confidence and make you look and feel like a princess!
Mac Cosmetics have a great new range for the winter season that banish dark tones in favour of something much more ethereal. There’s a fantastic selection of tantalising colours on offer such as pale lavender nail lacquer, washed out pastel pink lipstick and the wonderfully evocative pale champagne pink with pearl mineralise glass to give your lips that little bit of extra help!
BODY BUTTERS

The winter season can be especially harsh on your skin, with not only the drop in temperature, but also the wind chill to deal with. That’s why it’s important to get yourself some body butters to soothe and nourish your skin.
So why not treat yourself to an indulgent tub of Kiehl’s Crème de Corps Whipped Body Butter that aids the skin’s hydration process through its carefully formulated blend of soy milk and honey proteins.

BEAUTIFUL TOWELS

Bath times really come into their own in mid-winter. There’s nothing I like better after a bleak wintery day than to light some candles and have a good long hot soak!
And when you emerge triumphant from the bathtub, I find that getting wrapped up in some luxurious new bath towels really is the icing on the cake. The ever reliable Laura Ashley have a great new range of couture printed towels that are not only fantastically soft, but the decadently coloured rose prints have done a great job of brightening up my bathroom!
SOFT BEDDING

But the best way to combat the winter blues has to be to curl up in bed. I just love to turn the lights down low and snuggle up in bed with a good book! Obviously what really helps is to have a new bed with a lovely soft mattress like the many ones on offer at Bedstar. Just perfect for those long, cold winter nights!
