YES PLEASE to Carrots

I don't know about you (I guess it depends whether it's winter where you live) but recently, my most reached for products have been hand creams and lip balms. I make sure that I always have one of each handy (pardon the pun) in my handbag, on my desk at work and in my bathroom home. This doesn't mean I have three of the Yes To Carrots hand creams and three of the lip balms (I wish). But out of the ones I've been using, Yes To Carrots is hands down (two in one paragraph) the winner of both categories.

I don't think the products smell like carrots...what do carrots actually smell like anyway and would that even be pleasant? I can't actually describe the scent, but it's a nice one and isn't too over powering.

The texture of the hand cream is lovely and it isn't greasy. It blends into the skin nicely and absorbs almost instantly. This is a massive plus when it comes to hand creams for me. I can't stand it when you can't do anything just after you've applied hand cream because your hands are too slippery!

The lip balm is also incredibly nourishing and contains coconut oil which really does moisturise your lips. It's also probably the most natural lip balm I own.

I have some of the cucumber wipes which I also love so I'm thinking of expanding my cucumber collection next. Have you tried anything from Yes To?

My Bedside Table...

A lot of people have posted about what's on their bedside table and I love reading about it!  I really enjoy moving furniture around and creating little areas in my bedroom and my favourite posts are about ideas for your home. So here's a peek at my bedside table and the things that I like to keep there. 

As you can see, it's quite minimal. The table is from Next and was in a set of three quite a while ago. I keep the other one on the opposite side of the bed with a photo frame and a couple of candles and store my books (I don't have that many, I really should read more) underneath. Both tables have the same Ikea lamp , which were ridiculously cheap but I love the look of them. The little green bird is from Wilkinson and the mirrored jewellery box was a present for my eighteenth birthday. 

Inside the Rob Ryan mug, I keep a couple of products that I sometimes use before I go to bed or when I get up in the morning. 

I used to have trouble sleeping so would try lots of different things to help me drift off to sleep. I don't suffer from this as much as I did when I was a child but like everyone I get the occasional night when there are too many things on my mind. One thing that I like using is this pillow mist from The Body Shop. I'm not sure that it actually helps but the idea of having it is quiet comforting and the smell is very relaxing. You just spray it onto your pillow or sheets before you go to sleep and movement throughout the night releases the natural fragrance. Pretty cool isn't it? 

I also like to keep a hand cream by my bed because I always like to have one handy wherever I am (pardon the pun). So I have a little Burt's Bees tube on stand by. Lastly, I keep an nspa Eye and Lip Treatment by my bed. I don't tend to use it at night time but like to use it in the mornings as part of my every day facial routine as it's quite cooling and refreshing and really does leave under my eyes and my lips feeling very nourished. 

I also find that a hot drink before bed helps me to sleep better. 

I hope that you enjoyed this post, I really enjoy writing home ones like this as well as reading them. Please let me know if you have done one similar so I can be nosey!
