    L’Occitane Frisson Verbena Collection Review

    January 25, 2015 in Beauty, Reviews

    L’Occitane have a new limited edition fragrance out for summer- Frisson Verbena is an extremely crisp, fresh scent that is both cooling and invigorating. Imagine walking through a beautiful valley under the dappled shade of the trees, in your hand you hold a bunch of gently crushed verbena leaves as you near the river the air feels cooler and crisper. The smell is strong but clean and you feel relaxed as you are transported into this vision. That is exactly how I feel when I use this range. The Lemon Verbena is incredibly prevalent but so is the natural spring water extract. A perfect balance.

    Frisson Verbena Eau de Toilette (R740 for 100ml) is the ideal scent for those craving a crisp citrus scent over floral fragrances. It is the epitome of a clean vibrant aqueous scent with top notes of lemon and bergamot and a heart of cucumber and verbena.

    I also received the super useful Refreshing Body Mist (R160 for 50ml). It is alcohol-free mist which intensely refreshes your skin and helps to maintain its hydration level. The lightweight container means it is the ideal size to carry in your handbag and/or to take with you for travelling.

    I have been using the Shower Gel (R90 for 75ml) each morning the past two weeks because thanks to the scorching heat we have been experiencing an icy cold shower with a fresh zesty shower gel is just about the only thing to invigorate and wake one up.

    One of my favourites from this range has to be the Cooling Foot Gel (R250 for 75ml). This is so perfect for summer and really works. I have been generously applying it each evening after work and am so impressed with the effect it actually has on reducing swelling.

    Thanks to the metal rolling tip if you keep this in the fridge or pop t in the freezer for a few minutes before use the cooling effect helps to speed up swelling reduction and obviously it feels amazing to apply.

    Also in the collection there is a cooling body gel, bath salts and hand cream which are all available in store and online.

    Thank you L’Occitane for introducing me to another superb collection. Ladies (and gents) it is best to stock up as this range is a limited edition.

    It was such a relief to not only finally be back i It was such a relief to not only finally be back in Cape Town, well above it. But also being able to look down & see the beauty of probably the best road to drive in South Africa- Clarence Drive. 

We’d been stuck in #Durban after the airline overbooked flights for 3 days ahead. We even had to “sleep” overnight, I couldn’t sleep, at the airport. We were stuck there for over 19 hours. As there were “so many” potential chances for Standby flights….

    I've posted about us introducing Candi & Rocco to I've posted about us introducing Candi & Rocco to the new #BossMightyChunks range from @bossdogfood over the past month. This particular post is about health. 

About just how important your animal's health is as your own.
These furry little souls keep me going. They kept my spirits up throughout the medical challenges I faced last year. Seeing them was bliss.

The first two are from last week when I re-purchased their new favourite tasty meals. They actually recognised the cans! Queen Candi wanted to make sure "her" food was protected. You can see poor Rocco pleading. It wasn't even supper time yet. 
Our dogs mean so much to us. They are our children. They are on a par with a human toddler in terms of neediness. We admittedly do spoil them a bit too much. However, their well-being is something we have always made sure as all dog parents is a priority. 

They never miss their annual health checkups with any potential issues treated immediately. You may know that last year was a challenging time for me health-wise. It was such a difficult period for my partner & beloved fur-babies. 

Some of the more serious ones included being diagnosed with a second rare chronic illness, 3rd person in South Africa. Also cardiac issues & complications (another rare disease) and then a mini-stroke & more. On top of that, just two days after my final life-saving surgery. 

Richard and the dogs came close to losing their lives when our entire house burnt down. It was a huge turning point for us. We focused more on taking better care of ourselves, valuing every aspect of our lives and are beyond grateful that both dogs managed to make it out. 

I jumped at the opportunity when Boss reached out to me to try their new Mighty Chunks range. That is the dogs trying the range! Not me🤣. I will admit that for someone who doesn't eat meat, the rosemary scent is rather pleasant! 

Seeing how adding some healthy wet food like Boss Mighty Chunks that is nutrient-filled to their diet made an actual difference to their health. Agility and digestive, respectively, have again made us reevaluate the importance of health and well-being. For all of us!

    Rocco & Candi have both become “Dancing Dogs” Rocco & Candi have both become “Dancing Dogs” since including @bossdogfood 
Boss Mighty Chunks into their diet. I thought the thicker gravy for extra taste as a topper is the best and meatier chunks might be a bit much for Candi but she gobbles them down with delight. It’s also helped give her more energy and fewer digestive issues it seems. As an Irish Setter, Rocco is more prone to joint and flexibility issues so seeing him extra agile since including these has been a noticeable health benefit too. 

They are obviously always excited for meal time but not usually this enthusiastic!

Oh, and to purchase or for any information about the new formulation’s extra protection & health benefits then visit the link in my bio.

    The past few weeks have been stressful - an escape The past few weeks have been stressful - an escape is needed! I love Autumn but I’m craving sunny beaches and tranquility and would love it if my next holiday is somewhere exclusive. 

While daydreaming and scrolling, I spotted the incredible @clubmed La Plantation d'Albion! It offers so much! Evening activities, scuba-diving (which I haven't done and want to), a beach bar, secluded coves, a luxurious Cinq Monde Spa and adult-only Zen Zones. Oh did I mention ALL-INCLUSIVE gourmet food, an open bar plus Champagne all day! It’s relaxation heaven! 

Being all-inclusive it’s also budget-friendly which will make it easier to convince Richard to book it for us! 

So, when you make a booking (Link in Bio) tag me in your snaps to make me extra jealous!

    How does the saying go again? In the entertainment How does the saying go again? In the entertainment industry, never work with children or animals?

Well, I've discovered this was especially true tonight. I was just trying to get some snaps of Rocco & Candi testing out some of the new Boss Mighty Chunks. They are available in 3 flavours- Chicken Casserole, Grilled Steak & Lamb Stew. I've honestly never seen them this excited over a specific food before, and they already go crazy for food. 

Candi was incredibly naughty. She's usually so well-behaved. She had the audacity to climb onto the table and stuck her face into the Grilled Steak can! Just as I was setting up my camera.

As a pescatarian, dog food in general typically doesn't have the most appetising smell to me. So I was surprised that all of the Boss Mighty Chunks has a pleasant & extremely unique aromatic rosemary scent. Something both Furbabies seem to love as you can clearly see from all of the fantastic blurry tongues out & mouth-watering impatient background photos of them.
