My current summer nighttime routine consists of showering, washing my hair, lighting a candle and sitting down to watch an episode of The X Files while letting some of this amazing hand cream sink into my paws. The
Burt’s Bees Almond Milk Beeswax Hand Creme comes packaged in a beautiful and fairly heavy glass jar (not only does it look good sitting on my desk, but it doubles as a handy paperweight). The cream itself is also quite heavy, and it takes quite a while to settle into the skin once it’s been rubbed into my hands. For this reason I would suggest only using this cream when you have the time to let it sink in before having to do anything. It smells amazing and has a soft almond scent that is natural and not too sweet or overpowering. As with all Burt’s Bees products, this hand creme is not tested on animals. The Burt’s Bees Almond Milk Beeswax Hand Creme retails for $19.95 AUD and is available for purchase from
Echolife Australia. (note: this product was sent for consideration for review) To coincide with this review, Echolife Australia have offered a jar of this amazing cream to giveaway to one of you lovely readers. To enter, simply leave a comment on this entry and be sure to include your email address so that I can contact you if you’re the winner.
Please note that this giveaway is open to Australian residents only, and will close on February 14, 2012. Best of luck!

2011 was a good year for books and reading for me. I attempted the 50 Book Challenge (and will be doing so again this year), and although I didn’t reach the target of 50 books, I still managed to read 40 and that is a pretty impressive number in my opinion. The books I read in 2011 were:
There were some definite stand-out books this year, and I thought it might be a nice idea to have a little giveaway with some of my favourite books of 2011. I will be giving away one copy each of
We Need To Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver,
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak,
Cloudstreet by Tim Winton and
The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. To enter simply leave a comment letting me know which of these four books you’d like to win (and be sure to include your email address so that I can contact you if you are the winner). The giveaway is open internationally and winners will be drawn on February 1, 2012. Good luck!

Move over
Kosmea Rose Hip Oil and
Weleda Soothing Almond Facial Oil, because there is a new favourite in my facial oil arsenal. The
Busby Pure Tissue Oil is rich in vitamin E and contains a blend of naturally derived avocado, grape seed & rose hip oils. Combined, these ingredients are like a big healthy punch in the face. I use facial oils as a night treatment in place of moisturiser once every couple of days or when I feel like my skin needs it. The Busby oil is one of the best I’ve used in the fact that it is one of the fastest to sink into the skin (which helps reduce gross oily-pillow situations at night) and it has a light and slightly floral scent to it. I also really like the pump-top bottle, which makes it super easy to use and is far less messy so therefore trumps all of the other facial oil packaging that I’ve come across so far. The biggest difference I’ve noticed in my skin is the major reduction in redness. I’ve also noticed that my skin has been less oily during the day, but I’m not sure if I should attribute that to introducing the oil into my skin care routine or the recent changes in weather (which has affected my skin in the past). The Busby Tissue Oil retails for $17.95 AUD and can be purchased from selected pharmacies throughout Australia.
If you would like to win a bottle of this magical oil of your own, simply leave a comment on this entry & be sure to include your email address so that I can contact you if you’re the winner. Giveaway is open to Australian residents only, and will close on January 26 2012. (note: product was sent for consideration for review)
