November Favourites

Another month, another monthly favourites post. The months seem to be passing faster and faster, it only seems five minutes ago that I was writing up my October favourites! Anyway, here are my favourite items of November ...

Joico K Pak Intense Hydrator
This is my go-to conditioner. As I mentioned in this post, my hair has been through the mill a bit these past few months and I've been treating it to lots of deep conditioning treatments but this is my staple conditioner that I always come back to because it just gets the job done. I've been using it regularly for over a year and always have two tubes in the bathroom as I panic at the thought of running out! I usually leave it on for at least half an hour, to reap the full benefits, and it leaves my hair soft, smooth and tangle free

The White Company Winter candle
I picked this up from The White Company on our first night in Edinburgh to burn in our hotel room. I fell in love at first sniff - this has to be the perfect Christmas candle. It smells of cinnamon, orange and clove and it's quite strong, this little baby easily scented our whole room despite it's diminutive size. I'll be buying another before long I'm sure, to me this is THE perfect Christmas candle

Crabtree & Evelyn Gardeners Hand Recovery
For the last month or so, since the weather has been colder and I've been working in the cold at the new house, my hands have really suffered and slathering on hand cream just hasn't been cutting the mustard. I raided my stash and found a couple of tubes of Crabtree & Evelyn Hand Rescue which is basically a hand scrub, but quite a luxurious one. It has a thick consistency and is quite oily, you squidge it about in the tube to mix it up and then squirt into your hands without wetting them. You scrub your hands using a hand washing motion then rinse off, pat dry and follow with hand cream. It really does the business

Elemis Skin Nourishing Milk Bath
When I was about 17 or 18, my best friend was a 30 year old woman I worked with called Anne. I remember her telling me once that her legs were so dry that when she took her black trousers off there was flaky skin on the inside of them! 'Yuk!' I thought. Now I am that woman. I haven't checked my trousers (!) but my legs have been so dry this month that they feel sore. I almost purchased This Works Dry Leg Oil which I've heard wonderful things about but I have millions of moisturisers already so I hit my stash and came up with this milk bath from Elemis. I'd thought it was just for putting in your bath but you can use it on your body for extremely dry skin and it's definitely helped my legs. I'm not over keen on the scent but I can cope with that in the name of softer legs

Fat Face hoodie
I bought this after lusting after it on the website then seeing it on Rosie's blog, at which point I could resist no longer. It's barely been off my back since it arrived! It's lined so it's really warm and the perfect thing to wear around the house on cold days. I love the colour too, it goes perfectly with my blue Joules gilet and makes a really cosy combo. I wore them on our latest family trip to Windermere
