Hey guys! my name is Lainey and I have a passion for the beauty and wellness industry. I am a qualified Beauty Therapist with a Diploma in Beauty Therapy, Diploma in Remedial Massage and Deep Tissue Massage, Diploma of Kinesiology and Reflexology and 16 years experience in the industry!
I thought it would be fun to write a weekly review of some of my favourite beauty products to maybe help or inspire you to try some of them for yourself!
It's no secret that Beauty and Wellness are HUGE industries and there are so many products on the market that it can get confusing. What I like to do is bring it back to basics, bring it back down to the ingredients and the benefits and actions that those ingredients have on our actual skin cells.
This week, for my first review I'm going to be talking about a beautiful new bath product that was released from L'Occitane a couple of months ago. For those of you that don't know, L'Occitane is an international beauty company with most of their products being made in Provence in the South of France. They pride themselves on being a natural based company with wonderful ethics and community initiatives like Empowering Women in Burkina Faso (Shea Butter Range) and improving avoidable blindness in children around the world with the profits of sales from their Solidarity products going to UNICEF. They also have a wonderful recycling program where customers bring back their empty beauty products and L'Occitane sends them off to Teracycle to make sure that every bit of the containers are recycled properly, plus you, the customer, get 10% off your next purchase in a L'Occitane boutique - pretty amazing and some great reasons to shop with them - not to mention their products are actually divine as well...bonus!
The product in this review is called Amande Milky Bath, a relaxing and beautifying bath soak made with almond milk. Now I have to say that I consider myself to be a bit of a bath product connoisseur, albeit I'll go as far to say, a bath product snob, so this product is right up my alley!
It is enriched with a hint of bergamot and of course sweet almond oil from Provence (yes, another initiative! L'Occitane have replanted almond trees all over Provence and take the actual almonds they have helped grow and use them in their products - love a traceable beauty product!). The silky texture of the almond milk mixes with the water to create a heavenly, spa like experience right in your own bathtub, I'm telling you, you won't want to come out!
Almond oil has amazing benefits for the skin. It is super emollient meaning it can help balance the absorption of moisture and water loss, it's very hydrating, firming and makes the skin feel luxuriously soft. Almond oil naturally contains fatty acids, vitamin E, vitamin A, potassium, zinc and proteins so contains all the nutrients your skin needs to repair and thrive! Even after one soak in this beautiful, sensual milk will leave your skin baby soft and if you're like me, you may not even have to moisturise afterwards, although the smell is so addictive you will more than likely want to follow up with the matching Almond Milk Concentrate body cream so you can slink into your pyjamas and jump into bed knowing you've indulged in a bit of self care and pampering....and let's face it, who doesn't deserve that!
All in all this product is an absolute gem! Honestly I truly recommend it for your next spa at home bathing experience and I'm sure like me, one use and you'll be addicted!
10 out 10 almond nuts!

Hey there! ☺️ Thanks for stopping by. Hopefully you enjoy some of my work!
to be successful when dating your girlfriend
To have a perfect date, first you need to determine a date time that suits the two of you. Therefore, you need to ask her about a suitable date and time, so you can set a time to meet, bringing a feeling of comfort to both parties. The first date always leaves a special feeling in the hearts of the people involved. Therefore, you should plan in detail to create an unforgettable impression in the beauty's heart. You don't necessarily have to spend a lot of money to hire a private band of musicians, or take her to luxurious and expensive places, just a romantic meal together at the park or something. It's so sweet that she's never done it before... Surely, she will always remember this impressive date. If you and she had a successful first date, continue planning the next date. Because this is necessary to let her understand that you are very interested in her. However, when showing interest, you should not show too much emotion because it can make her feel suffocated. Even if you and she have had interesting dates, that doesn't mean you should stop keeping in touch with her. This will make her think that you no longer care about her.Therefore, you need to continue to keep in touch to let her understand that you are still there and still care about her every day. Girls often don't like just listening to you talk about yourself without mentioning anything related to them. Because that proves that you are selfish and don't care about their thoughts. Therefore, you need to create a balance between questions and answers between the two of you throughout the conversation.You can ask questions about her life, hobbies, work... and share information with each other. During your daily conversations, you should keep in mind the likes and dislikes she has shared with you. If she mentions that she doesn't like seafood dishes, it's best not to date her at restaurants that specialize in seafood. Through this, she will know that you always listen and understand her.Chivalry and "gallantry" in behavior are always appreciated by girls in a man. Therefore, you should be polite, caring and do the best for the woman you want to create a long-term relationship with. Honesty and kindness are always good qualities that girls want in a boyfriend. Therefore, please respect, cherish and always help her when she needs you. There's nothing worse than when a girl thinks things are going well between them and you, but then you "disappear" without saying goodbye. This is the worst thing and unintentionally lowers your self-worth. Therefore, you should behave like a grown man.If you no longer have feelings for her then politely and gently tell her, give her that respect, because she deserves it Sometimes girls can feel uncertain about your feelings for them. Therefore, they would love to hear you remind and confirm your feelings for her once again.You don't have to repeat it 24/7 because it can make her feel bored and suffocated. But, if she doesn't listen to your reassurances, she may feel insecure about your feelings. Another bad thing that girls often encounter is not being able to predict a man's behavior. Therefore, you should not say one thing and do another, but always be consistent between your words and actions, that will make girls always respect you.
