11 WAYS TO USE LAVENDER ESSENTIAL OIL EASILY & EFFICIENTLY
I am always writing about essential oils and Lavender essential oil more than most, either for magazines, books or websites.

10 INTERESTING THINGS ABOUT JOJOBA
Jojoba oil is in almost all Angelico Serums as it has myriad properties. I discovered it when I first had babies as it works miracles on nappy rash. I swiftly got rid of the thick gloopy cream that other young mothers were encapsulating their babies bottoms with, innocently sealing in moisture which resulted in sore bottoms. I used jojoba oil instead which let the delicate baby skin breath whilst keeping it clean and bacteria free. The results were remarkable.
Here are 10 interesting facts about jojoba - just one of our natural active plant oils that go to create Angelico Serums.
(1) If you keep jojoba oil in the fridge it will completely solidify as it is actually a wax not an oil.
(2) Jojoba is cleansing as well as moisturising.
(3) Jojoba contains iodine which helps prevent breakouts.
(4) Jojoba protects, provides moisture control and soothes the skin.
(5) The texture and action of jojoba is almost identical to our skin’s own sebum.
(6) Jojoba regulates oil levels making it a great treatment for oily skin.
(7) Jojoba is full of antioxidants which help to slow down signs of ageing.
(8) Vitamin E present in Jojoba helps improve elasticity in the skin and speeds up healing.
(9) Jojoba helps to soothe irritation caused by eczema.
(10) Vitamin B complex in jojoba makes it a natural hormone balancer.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE
Love is all you need!
I have just finished reading a book called Letting Go, The Pathway of Surrender by David R. Hawkins. It was recommended to me by a friend and I have really enjoyed it. It’s not everybody’s cup of tea I’m sure as for many people even the slightest whiff of self help instigates chortles of laughter but I love to read these sort of books from time to time as there is always one or two little nuggets of information that hit the right note at the right time and serve as tools in my life. I like to pass on these tools when I’m quoting for magazines or just chatting. Hopefully then, at least someone will benefit from my reading them apart from me. Actually, if I benefit then the general consensus is that everyone around me will be happy too as like attracts like and positivity is never a bad thing. I have been accused of being an irritating Pollyanna at times but not in a bad way!!?!
HELEN MIRREN SAYS
"moisturisers probably do F*** All!!!"
Helen Mirren, one of my favourite actresses of all time made me laugh out loud not once, but twice this week. The BBC news quoted her as saying that moisturiser probably does nothing at all for the skin. Best of all, The Telegraph reported a similar but far fruitier story that whilst sitting on a L’Oreal panel in the South of France where she was appearing in her capacity as brand ambassador, she said “moisturisers probably do F*** All!!”
