I love gummy bears – but now I love alcoholic gummies even more – thanks to Smith & Sinclair, who sent me a fab box of them to try. Called The Party Selection, there’s Elderflower Spritz, Passion Fruit Mojito, Pineapple Bellini and Mandarin (Aperol-style) spritz. They’re all made with premium spirits...

The January Blues might already be upon you – but I say try to fight them with a little bit of the January BEAUTY blues. I’ve rounded up a whole load of beautiful blue beauty products so if you are feeling down, have a good pour over these instead, and pop them on your payday list if you want properly...

I was very fortunate to be invited to a gorgeous breakfast at Harvey Nichols a couple of weeks ago week to learn all about the latest CBD brand on the block – Apothem. This is a high-end CBD brand – the clue is in the stockist, right? I have to confess that the CBD beauty revolution has sort of passed...

It’s that time of year again – when we all try to have a holly jolly Christmas and end up totally stressed! But it doesn’t have to be like that! Treat yourself. Practice self-care, and don’t have a festive meltdown. Book a relaxing 5pm deal -and even if you take it after the festivities are over, knowing...

Ten Lush Gift Sets! Christmas is a WHOLE LOT OF FUN at Lush, agreed? The eco-brand just does festive fun so well. There are so many gift sets, from small to HUGE, and everything in between. Here is my top ten of the Lush Christmas gift sets on offer this festive season. Ho, Ho, Ho! (£19.50) This is ...

Let’s get intimate! It might be winter, but that’s no excuse for letting it all go down there, is it?! There are plenty of offers on 5pm Spa and Beauty for waxing, and keeping everything in good order. You might also want to investigate intimate care product range Feathrs – with the brilliant tagline...

I tend to become obsessed with exfoliating in the autumn and winter months. It’s like I just want my poor, tired skin – on my body and face – to glow, and indulging in a bit of exfoliating always helps! LUSH recently gifted me two products for my body – one of them an old favourite, the other a new...

It’s time to hunker down, get cosy and pamper yourself. You can do that in a spa – plenty of deal on 5pm Spa and Beauty – or you can do it at home, with some lovely autumnal body products. I love the new The Body Shop Vanilla Pumpkin range, which includes this fab Body Butter (£15) which is infused ...

If you are off on holiday soon, then don’t forget your sunscreen! It’s one of the most important things you can pack, so make room in your luggage for at least a couple of bottles of suncare to suit you. I’ve popped another post on here looking at new, innovative, specific sunscreens, and one that covers...

It’s the end of another month, that means another payday and time to treat yourself. You can always find a Big Deal at 5pm Spa and Beauty to suit – agreed? When it comes to pampering, it’s all there, from pre-holiday waxing to a quick gel manicure, or a full body massage to whisk you away in your head...

The washed-out June we have had has made me think I’m constantly in a shower! So, I decided to have a look at some of the best shower products out there and share them with you here! I’m not averse to a bit of rain, but I prefer to get caught in my own shower, in my bathroom, of a morning, than in some...

The Liz Earle Beauty Co. launched a new Skin Replenishing Body Balm last month, packed with goodies like shea butter, rice brand oil and black seed extract. Body beauty is often negelected, as opposed to facial beauty which we do religously every day. But summer is here (well, sort of!) and holidays...

April may be over, but showers are still happening! Just the hot kind, that wake you up in the morning, and hopefully not the miserable kind that ruin your hair on a night out! I can’t function without standing under the shower, and I love anything that smells great to wake me up. But, because of my...

Last weekend’s heatwave was wonderful, and it put me right in the holiday mood! Luckily I had some of the new Clarins suncare to use when I was out in the sun. The new range is packaged beautifully, there is LOADS to choose from and all sorts of amazing formula. The all new Clarins High Performance...

I’m addicted to NEOM’s Scent to Sleep Cleansing Balm. It cleanses beautifully, it relaxes me before bed, and I don’t feel the need to even use a night cream when I cleanse with it. So, I am hoping the brand’s new Magnesium Body Butter is just as good! Body moisturising is still an issue, so I am trying...

Was it last year I shared Olverum Bath Oil with you? It’s lovely stuff, a high-end brand, with gorgeous packaging, and I just don’t have a bathroom that befits it. But after major renovations over the last three months, the bathroom in our flat will just have to stay as it is for a wee while longer....

If I have one beauty resolution for the New Year it’s to take more care over my body care. I am fastidious with my application of facial skincare, and completely random and hit or miss with my body care. And in the winter, you can’t be like that. Dropping temperatures and rising heating temperatures...

This is a stressful time of year – there’s no denying it. But – there IS getting away from it, trust us! You need to promise yourself some precious time out, me-time, mindfulness, whatever you want to call it, and then check 5pm Spa and Beauty for some of the brilliant deals. Everyone needs an indulgent...

It’s not even December, but a lot of this lovely festive Bring on the Baubles range from Jo Malone London is already sold out online, so you might need to head to stores if you really want something. I’m not going to lie – it’s not my favourite Jo Malone London collection. I was a little underwhelmed...

It’s getting colder now, right? So, best thing to do is to keep warm! Any trip to a beauty salon is warm and cosy, but the best way to make it even warmer is with a hot stone massage! There are loads of 5pm Spa and Beauty to choose for at great prices. Here’s just a handful that caught my eye. Over...

You can always rely on Lush for some Hallowe’en themed goodies. Feeling a bit anti-social? Or maybe a bit scared? What better way to avoid Hallowe’en, but still embrace it, by running a relaxing bath and using one of these brilliantly spooky Lush goodies? This is an amazing treat for cat lovers. And...

An extra hour in bed always makes me happy, but for many getting a good night’s sleep is difficult, never mind adding an extra hour in.So when the clocks go back this weekend to mark the end of BST, you might need a little help in relaxing. There are no real ‘cures’ for insomnia, certainly not in beauty...

Here are five of our luxury spas – click through to discover the deals that are on offer at each...

What a summer we’ve had this year so far – how long can it last? A little bit of rain is forecast as temperatures drop slightly in the next week or so (so the weather folks tell me!), so if you want to keep that tan you’ve achieved, maybe time to top it up with a little bit of fake. It’s incredible ...

POW! Look at this cute collection from Jo Malone London. Curated by Poppy Delevingne, this bold and bright collection contains colognes, candles and brand new bubbles! New for 2018, Jo Malone launches Bubble Bath. It comes in three scents – Nectarine Blossom & Honey, Black Cedarwood & Juniper (both ...

As long as we’re being careful in the sun, it might be an idea to ditch the fake tan this week and see what natural tan you can get. But that fake stuff can be stubborn, right? So, invest in this new Cocoa Brown Fresh Start Self Tan Eraser. Brilliant for fake tan faux pas, this removes traces of old...

I kept turning the TV on this week and seeing posh people talking about horses, all dressed up in their finery. I also saw Mark Heyes on Lorraine, pitched up at Ascot all week, telling the nation what to wear, and what not to wear to get in to various enclosures. Which is all very nice, if you were ...
