I guess that I should probably start by introducing myself..

Seeing as this is my FIRST EVER blog post, I suppose that I should probably start my journey here by telling you a little bit about me! I'm Victoria (but everyone calls me Vic), 22 years old and a Personal Assistant. I LOVE fashion and beauty and originally I was convinced I was destined to be a designer. However, work (and money) intervened and now I find myself working in the big City. I've decided to write this blog because I love experimenting with hair, make-up and clothes and I want to share my results. I'm going to bring posts that tell you all about my beauty favourites and new must-haves, outfits of the day and hairstyles for any occasion. One day I hope to end up in the fashion/beauty industry but for now I am more than happy with my shiny new blog!

So to start as I mean to go on, let's talk about skin... I, along with thousands of other people, have terrible dry skin and so a great body scrub and lotion is vital for me to feel human! One amazing product that I COVET is Philosophy Candy Cane Salt Scrub.

I'm pretty sure that it's a special Philosophy product for the Christmas period, but if you can get your hands on it, do! I think it cost around £30 and I bought it from Selfridges Oxford Street. It's an amazing product that really gets rid of all the dead skin cells and it has a yummy peppermint scent that really lasts. Just rub the salt granules directly onto the skin when you're in the shower and then rinse off to reveal smooth, supple skin.

Following that, straight after jumping out of the shower when my skin is still wet, I slather on Johnson's Baby Oil Gel and let it soak in. A gel form of the original Johnson's Baby Lotion, this intensive moisturiser contains camomile - a scent which really reminds me of newborn babies. You can get it for around £3 from most chemists and pharmacies (Boots and Superdrug both sell this wonder product). As well as smelling incredible, this gel also does wonders for my skin - if it's good enough for a baby it's good enough for me!

I use the Johnson's gel daily. It's a good idea to let it soak in properly to really moisturise your skin, so I always layer it on before bed and let it soak in overnight. The salt scrub should be used maybe once or twice a week. Super soft skin is within easy reach!
