Loving Leif

I recently discovered a company called Leif, which, according to its website, "celebrates the unique flora of Australia with ingredients that demand attention."  Its products are free from artificial skin nasties and presented in beautifully simple, recyclable packaging.  I bought this  'Body Double' Body Cleanser and Body Balm set thinking it would make an ideal gift for a friend or maybe a family member back in the UK. The thought was there, but in reality the packaging seduced me and I thought it best to test it out before bestowing it on anyone else. I like to think of it as quality control - but really, I just have zero will power! It passed the 'test'. The scent is subtle but soothing, the body cleanser gets nice and foamy and the body balm leaves my skin silky soft.  Definitely loving Leif.

Yellow Roses and Sandalwood

I thought I'd add a bit of zing to the bathroom with these canary yellow roses because even on the greyest of days, fresh flowers are a no fail way of putting a little smile on my face. Currently we are living in a rental unit and the bathroom is white and grey and impersonal so a pop of colour goes a long way. The candle is one of my finds from Eumundi Markets last weekend. I love scented candles but often they're quite pricey, so when I was told these were a mere 15 dollars I had my wallet out in seconds, especially since this Sandalwood one smells so divine. What's even better is that they are handmade in Australia with ethically sourced ingredients that are not tested on animals. They're by Bedroom Antics and are also available on line here.
