Luxury Beauty

It's the soft click of the lid, the reflective golden metal, the poised typography. Packaging can be just do damn alluring.

Tom Ford's "Black Orchid Eau De Parfum" is one of a kind, oozing a sensual edge that only Ford could muster. Then there is the world of Diptyque, who we kid you not we would buy without even taking a whiff of the product (yes it has crossed out minds).

We're talking about the kind of products that you would never buy for yourself, but would eagerly hint to your loved ones.

...but nothing says luxury quite like a $2,000 Crème

We don't know where to start with the cult product that is the La Mer "moisturising cream." Although god, it has been vouched for by everyone who is anyone. It's the miracle cream of all miracle creams. 

Of course there is a slightly more affordable $250 version of the product, but sometimes we wonder who sits in their marble cladded bathroom slathering their face with a product worth more than a one-way ticket to the other side of the world.

Juice detox Recipes

Before we know it, summer will be around the corner which means it’s time to start getting bikini ready. We have found a great way to help shed those few extra winter pounds is by juicing fresh fruit and vegetables. Not only is juicing amazing for your health and weight-loss, it is also great for your skin complexion and especially helps you get back on track after a big night out. Juicing is also perfect for those who lead busy lifestyles, as it allows you to obtain the recommended amount of nutrients/vitamins in one quick glass. We recommend having juice that contains fruit in the morning and vegetable juice at night – due to the amounts of sugar fruit contains.

You can juice basically any fruits and vegetables, however these are a few which we personally recommend:

Apple, Orange, Pineapple, Watermelon, Carrot, Celery, Ginger, Beetroot, Cucumber (not as bad if you peel the skin), Spinach, Kale.

Juice Recipes:

a. Ingredients: 3-5 Carrots, 2-3 celery sticks, 1 knob ginger, 1-2 beetroot (always peeled), top up with organic apple juice and some ice

b. Ingredients: 3 oranges, 3-4 carrots, 3 apples, 1-2 limes

c. Ingredients: 3 carrots, 2 celery stalks, 1 small pineapple, 1 Lebanese cucumber – helps clear sore throats

d. Ingredients: 2 oranges, peeled, 1 lemon, peeled, 1 lime, peeled, 1 ruby red grapefruit, peeled – morning cleanser

e. Ingredients: 1 golden delicious apple, 1 small handful spinach, 1 pear, 1 lime, 1 stalk celery,
¼ medium cucumber, ice cubes.

We hope you enjoy some of these recipes!
